I battered its head, trying to stab its mouth or eyes, but it was as quick as a cobra. The monster came at me again, jaws agape. I was aware of my brother striking at the beast’s lower regions, all the while trying to avoid its lashing barbed tail.
But my sword hand was my left, and with a bellow of pain I slashed at the monster’s chest, my blade deflecting off its mighty ribs. I tried to throw myself clear, but its muscular neck crashed against my right arm, and I felt the arm break and dangle uselessly at my side. The speed with which the beast struck was incomprehensible.
My sword was in my hand, and my brother was at my side, his own blade flashing. Coins and jewels clinked and shifted as its body began to uncoil. Its crested head lifted slightly, almost lazily. Doubtless it had smelled us coming, its flared nostrils drinking in our sweat and fear. And now we beheld it, curled atop its treasure, its pale fur and scales ablaze with moonlight. For three dark days my brother and I had tracked it through the maze of caves to its lair on the mountain’s summit. WE FOUND THE MONSTER ON A ROCKY LEDGE HIGH ABOVE the lake.
