She wondered alone in the bitter darkness, black trees towering above her. Clouds covered the sky and no light fell upon the ground. She stumbled through the barren forest panicked, wondering if she had finally lost them. Behind her she heard a rustle of branches and heavy breathing coming from the other side of the trees. Her heart started to race, fear building up inside, until she felt she might burst. Instinct telling her to run and not look back. She calmed herself down and forced herself to climb a tree instead for the Mayglog would definitely catch her on foot. The Mayglog came closer, breaking twigs beneath its paws in its advance. Finally, she found a tree with easy footholds and scampered up to a fork in the tree were she could sit and easily watch the Mayglog prowl the ground. Just when she got to a comfortable position the Mayglog emerged from the foliage. It was a huge car sized, doglike creature with giant fangs, glowing white eyes, and shaggy black fur.
