The forest remained the same. Silent and dark.
Grey clouds covered the sky without change, blocking any sense of time. There was no clear day or night here.
Only dim light and heavy shadows. The black trees stood tall and silent, their dark leaves unmoving, as if the entire forest was holding its breath.
Amon was already deep inside it. He was trying to find a spot to rest. But then, suddenly, monsters found him.
So right now, he was fighting.
Two large monsters stood in front of him.
They were lizard-type beasts.
Their bodies were tall and bulky, almost as big as a grown man. Thick black-green scales covered them from head to toe, hard enough to deflect weak attacks.
Their arms were long, ending in sharp claws, and their mouths were filled with rows of jagged teeth. Long tails dragged behind them, smashing against trees and rocks as they moved.
Hissss!
One of them let out a low, threatening hiss, similar to that of a snake.
