The screeches of 2 unknown creatures startled the villagers in the nearby village. A village farmer working in the field was especially startled considering one of the sounds came from the nearby corn field. The Mudokon picked up his pitch fork and walked forwards towards the field, trying to keep as silent as possible. Holding his pitchfork in front of him he batted the ears of corn with it. Slowly moving forwards and keeping as silent as possible. A rustle to his right made him stop in mid walk. He was about 4 metres into the corn field and could not see the ground below due to the swaying ears of corn. He span around and walked backwards, facing the direction from were the sound came from. Suddenly he saw a scaled back rise from the patch of corn in front of him and a low growl made him shudder. The growl sounded like that of a Slog, yet he knew there was none around the village and thus knowing it was something far more sinister.
Villager: "Jock...look out! Behind you...Jock!!"
A villager was watching the farmer. Jock had owned the farm for 3 yrs and had watched it and nurtured it to its full potential. But this time the corn had grown too long and could hide many dangers. In this case the Reptilian behind him. Jock span around holding the pitch fork and was met immediatly by a claw to his face. He dropped into the corn and looked up. There stood a beast, a scaled reptilious beast with the teeth four times the size of a Slogs. Jock throwed the pitch fork at him but that obviously did no damage. The creature snarled and turned its head to the village and then sprinted towards it on its hind legs. Jock slowly stood up thinking he was lucky. But the sound of 3 other growls made him turn around. He did this slowly, trying not to make a sound. He saw 3 other reptilians on all fours looking at him. Their eyes glowing with the intent to kill. Jock gasped and backed away slowly before turning around and running full speed towards the forest.
Jock: "No...Ohh-N-no. It cant be...please"
He stopped and stuttered these words in a hushed whisper. What he had seen had terrified him. A whole, entire spawn of reptiles was emerging from the forest and slowly walking towards the village. The creatures were on all fours and their shoulder blades moved up and down with each step their front legs took. The only thing that went through his mind at that point was to get to another village. But he realised that was no impossible as he felt a sharp sting in the back of his leg and then another one on his neck. He was pinned down by 2 reptilians while the other paced around his defensless body. He tried to move but everytime he tried the sting in his neck got ever more painfuller. Until..."Snap" His neck was bit in two like a petty twig. His lifeless body laid there. Blood pouring from the neck and been soaked in by the dried soil. The 3 creatures that had killed him turned their attention to the village and planned to join their bretheren who were already there.
