As Harold walked through the woods, he got a feeling he was being watched,
he continued through the trees, he came to a clearing, there was something in the center of the clearing,
the clearing was a circular patch of level land, with short green grass.
Harold had gotten closer and closer to the center.
When he got to the center, there was was an half sphere stuck in the ground, it was golden and had weird symbols, in the center was a hole, the width of a pencil. Harold didn't know what to do, he was drawn to the sphere, he stood in silence as if awaiting further instructions.
Harold looked around, he saw nothing but trees from all sides, he suddenly felt surrounded, people started coming out of the trees, or were they people?
They had sort of robotic masks, that had werd goggles and brown leather cloth over their backs that were hunched on all 4s, they lurked near and they looked like the tall man.
They got closer, and as they did, Harold became more and more horrified, he now saw them spread their arms wich had robotic hands or gloves that had claws the length between his wrist to his middle fingertip. Soon they surrounded Harold, they were moving their heads from side to side quickly as if examining him,
there masks or faces made a sort of a rattle snake sound to them, then they started talking,
"he said, he would be with a lady and a beast" one said, in a deep demonic voice.
"Where's the little lady?" one asked.
"I say we kill him anyway!" One snapped.
They went to strike at Harold, and he turned to run, but he felt a deep peirce in his back,
he was automatically soked in blood.
Harold fell backward, then one stood over him.
His claws were sharp on both ends, perfect for cutting something.
He began to passout from blood loss, his last sight was of the one standing above him, with its claws raised ready to end Harold
