The Cloud-Clawed Lizard was furious. It had been living a quiet life in Moyun Valley, minding its own business—sleeping when it had nothing to do, waking up to snack on a few beasts. It hadn't bothered a soul. 'And this is a crime?'
Two ferocious, hairless female monkeys had pinned it down and beat it senseless. Luckily, a one-handed male monkey showed up, and the three of them started fighting amongst themselves. For the moment, no one was paying it any mind.
Seizing the opportunity, the Cloud-Clawed Lizard decided to flee. 'If not now, when?'
The Cloud-Clawed Lizard shrank its form and cautiously burrowed into the earth. It then charged blindly, deeper into the Barbaric Wilderness. It didn't dare stay in this place a moment longer.
