In the forest, there were very few nocturnal creatures.
So at night, it wasn't uncommon for large predators to sneak in from the ravine and go on the hunt.
A salamander was one such opportunist predator.
The creature was as large as a bison, with scales of a sickly mottled green and nostrils that casually exuded flame.
It begins to crawl up a tree in search of prey when suddenly, it hears a sound approaching in the distance.
The noise became louder, and the salamander turns it's head in its direction.
The last thing it sees is a large horse with what looks to be three individuals on it's back.
Before it can even move a muscle, a projectile of water, no larger than a rock, pierces the creature between the eyes.
It falls over with a heavy thud, twitching as the light slowly leaves it's eyes.
Yari slowly puts her hand down once the creature has been dealt with.
In one swift motion, she slides down the horse's back.
