The Seeker

    Arrows flew through the air as one by one her companions fell to the writhing beast, the projectiles just bounced cleanly off of its hide and did nothing to slow its pace. Centuries of training and tutoring was lost before her very eyes in the claws of the ravenous hunger that consumed them all and she could only watch helplessly as her friends, family, and at last her husband were lost in the haze until only she remained. Deep down in the pit of her stomach she knew, she could feel its hunger looming over her, that she was next.
