Tom had gotten lost when the wildfire had taken his campsite. Rain had come and wiped out the fire. The mist that had settled above the tree line, forced him to climb to gain his bearings. He began to climb the mountain side, it was there that he found a rudimentary tower fashioned out of three towering pines. He climbed the tower and he felt a most unusual thing in his climb. The chill of the wind was most bizarre, especially after a fire. The dim light of the evening coupled with the clouds over head, had made the whole valley quite dark. But now, a pair of lights could be seen. He thought at first that they might have been search lights of a passing helicopter, but there was no sound. The whole valley was silent save for a rhythmic thumping that crept closer and closer. When the lights were as close as he dared them to be, a giant stood before him. With pale lights for eyes and two massive horns that glowed in the dark. It was a frightening sight to behold. He had never know fear like that as the giant lowered its head to peer at Tom.
