Growing up on Pa's farm, I though I knew animals. We had horses in Haven's Hollow. Cows, chickens… all the normal beasts. We were lucky, where we were. Ma said the Blue Mage shielded us, as he could. It wasn't until I left that I saw them. I never imagined the creatures that roam our forests.
Those Eye monsters… they say Dethrix uses them to spy. I believe it. But what he'd want with those Grifs, I hate to think of it. Those beaks are sharper than knives, and their breath smells like rotten meat.
At night, in camp, the men tell stories of the horrors in Dreadhaven. Jesen's uncle was called to serve the castle, and saw much of them. One night, he took too long serving the roast. Dethrix he was… displeased. Jesen did not continue his tale. He didn't need to. They talk, too, of the horrors the Monster King keeps hidden, waiting for a TRUE threat to his rule.
I will be that threat. And I will DESTROY him for what he's done to Jesen, to Lynaria. To all of us.
