"Something in the Sand" Across the wilderness valley of Buya, a tale was told of an old man and his dog who resided on the washed-up shores. The old man spoke of a creature that moved beneath the sand, a beast with claws as sharp as any trident, and a hunger that never slept. The creature was known as the Golden Lobster, a creature of myth and lore that was said to be deadly to any man who dared to cross its path. Despite the old man's warnings, there were always those who came seeking treasure and fame. They would venture too close to the sandy shore, ignoring the old man's wise advice. They thought themselves to be brave and invincible, but they were unaware of the true danger that lay ahead. The old man's dog showed no interest in the passing travelers. It was as if the animal knew that it was safer to keep a distance from the Golden Lobster's lair. The old man would often tell those who passed by of the sandy burrows and niches that hid the creature from view, warning them of the danger that lay beneath the surface. The Golden Lobster lurked in a sandy niche so deep that few had ever seen it. With its powerful claws, it could jolt like a trident, piercing through a man's armor with ease, leaving him to die in agony. And its jaws were sharp enough to gnaw through anything, leaving nothing but death in their wake. The old man's tale proved to be true, as those who dared to cross the Golden Lobster's path met their end in a place where their tales would never be told. The creature's grip was unrelenting, and it claimed the lives of all who dared to venture too close. In the end, the old man's warning rang true. The Golden Lobster's deadly motion claimed any who dared to explore. Something was always moving beneath the sand, and it was the Golden Lobster, a creature of myth and legend, feared by all who knew its name. And so, the washed-up shores of wilderness remained untouched by those who heeded the old man's caution and stayed far away from the Golden Lobster's domain. ~ Raidenei | |
