The rain poured down like a waterfall plummeting from the sky, transforming the once fine silver threads into a curtain draping over the wilderness.
It was noon, a time for bright daylight, but the thick dark clouds shrouded the world, casting it into a dim and shadowy rain.
A colossal creature trudged through the mud.
This was a Sword-jawed Beast, about twelve meters long, with scales and claws. At first glance, it looked like a fusion of a crocodile and a lion, its most notable feature being the giant bone blades extending from its lower jaw.
These blades were three meters long, their surface covered with a steel-like hard enamel, glistening coldly in the rain.
The beast was tracking a herd of Iron-Horned Deer.
Its steps were unbelievably light, the padded feet allowing it to move silently through the rain. Whenever it found a trace of its prey, it would lower its body, the bone blades on its head trembling slightly.
