Strange Lands and Terrible Monsters
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. Before, this was a sacred place where the streams, the trees, the very breeze that swayed the forest carried the essence of the Old Gods.

Their yellow, glinting eyes are like beacons lighting my path. Searching. Watching. Waiting. They hide in the cover of shadows as I make my way through the forest.

I breathe evenly through my nose, taking care not to make a sound. The crimson velvet curtain before me has been my hiding place for the last hour, and as the night advances, I burrow deeper into the shadows. I live in the shadows. I become the shadows.
