King

The centaurs never approached the swamp, no one did, so why were they still following you? You ran and ran, but they didn't stop and were catching up quickly. Their hooves echoed against the damp ground, their shouts intensifying. You had to think of something, anything, to get out of there.

You slipped through thick bushes and plants, hoping to lose them. Suddenly, something grabbed you, dragging you into a cave; two large arms wrapped around you and something slimy covered your mouth. "Shh. They'll be gone soon." The creature whispered in your ear as the centaurs galloped past the cave and the sound of their shouts gradually faded. As soon as they were gone, the man let you go and stepped back toward the light, tilting his head slightly with curiosity. Now you could see him fully: a giant with a cloth mask and black skin, with tentacles sprouting from his back and from behind the mask. "What did they want from you?" he asked curiously, clearly not amused that you had brought centaurs into his domain.
