The beast broke a fallen tree trunk from it's massive weight. All the wildlife in the forest became quiet, all waiting. Waiting to see what the lone beast will do next. The forest animals near the beast trembled in fear and from the power the creature radiated. It was as if the beast had a golden aura of masculine power which could lash out in any moment. It was so visible that the aura made the mist evaporate.
The beast was often misunderstood, creatures and humans alike thought that it was just a huge monster without any thought. However, they were wrong. The beast was quite intelligent, more so than a average human being. It was compassionate, protective and loyal to those it cared about. Sadly, it never had someone like that, so it waited.
It waited for someone to bring him home, the home it never had.
To a place filled with warmth and happiness.
So it continued to walk, thundering at every footstep. Every few minutes the beast would look from side to side, as if looking for something.
After a few hours of the beast's journey, it's ears flickered up.
There were suddenly a few agonizing screams coming from a kilometer away.
