The sound of shifting sand is heard on the shores of Cryptic Bay
in the dead of night , the only light is the pale faint cold light of
the crescent moon. A traveler is gambling with his life walking
these shore let alone at night with only the moon to guide him.
He comes to a stop as his blood runs cold as an airy scream is
heard in the distance , ahead of him and he fights the urge to
run or hide as the scream goes silent ......after regaining his
courage he continues on ahead. He had heard of a valuable
treasure hidden on this beach ,one that only showed at night in
the light of a crescent moon. Many had said they had found this
treasure but never got it of the shores as they were attacked by a
horrific beast that patroled the beach.
The traveler continues his search cautiously , keeping his ears
open and his eyes peeled. As the night continued he began to
question why he was here. Why was he here? Treasure? To
prove he could escape the mystery beast? He didn't know but he
found himself walking these haunted shores as his heart
slammed itself repeatedly off his ribcage and the voices in his
head screamed for him to turn back, run! Sweat ran cold down
his back , his breathing light but quick as the fear overwhelmed.
Why was he so scared? He didn't believe in monsters nor did he
believe in ghosts ,so why were his hands so shaky? Then the
scream from before sounded again....closer than before and
sounded more like a shrieking gasp.....what was on this beach
with him? He turned to head back to safety but a disturbing
figure silhouetted by the moonlight in the distance stopped him
in his tracks. It had yet to notice him and was walking towards
him looking out to sea , it moved in a zombified fashion , slow
and staggering . It looked like some sort of dragon if it was not
for the fins at it's shoulders , cheeks and back legs . It's bony
form was shown by the eerie white light of the moon , its spine
was like a jagged range of small mountains and its ribs showed
prominently from its starved sides. Was this the monster the
others had been speaking of? The creature opened it's mouth
letting out a eerie scream before finally landing its pale white
eyes on the traveler , it stared at him like a dog deciding
whether or not it should attack. His mistake was backing up , the
beast charged running faster than should have been possible due
to its physical state. The traveler's legs screamed at him to run
faster and not to stop and he kept going as the beast's pants grew
closer and closer before suddenly everything went black.......
