Round 2
They’ve done it; they’ve reached the safety of the Silver. Belieivers in the greater good, are they, and the stone-skinned fairy watches from the mountain with what might almost be a smile. He does so hope that will not be their downfall.
Ahead of them, the pretty land of the Silver Cove stretches bright and merry in the moonlight. There is no wrong path here, no incorrect way to reach the shimmering bay. And they know they must, the knowledge sprouting inside them the way magic often does, directing them to the water. They must travel through the mountains, dark and eerie peaks where ageless beasts sleep. Perhaps they will emerge alive.
Silent below the moonlight they will proceed, and just when they think they see the glint of the sea…
It attacks.
A ferocious beast, hungry and toothsome. There is blood smeared across its grinning face, but it is old and rusted.
“I’ve been waiting for you,” says the monster, clearly as intelligent (or perhaps more intelligent) than you are. Rather than speak further it bounds forward to circle you. It seems to be waiting for a moment of weakness to pounce. Will you defend yourself through might? Or will you reason with the Beqanna-dwelling beast, to convince it of the dangers to your shared homeland you are attempting to mend?
