Chapter 1: Invader -
A pig sniffed at the ground, the grass crunching beneath with every step. Seconds before, he had caught a whiff of the delicious Red Spotted Mine Mushroom, and the swine was determined to reach it.
As he searched, he spotted movement out of the corner of his eye. He stopped and stared at the hill nearby. He saw nothing in the darkness of the night. Whatever it was, it was gone.
Returning to the ground, the Pig searched more, desperately seeking the treasured fungus. Rapid footfalls suddenly hit his ears, but before he could react, a terrible pain, as if his side had been torn open, hit him. Falling to the ground, his sight went black...
The attacker stood over the slain pig before it, staring down at it's unmoving body. Looking in the direction that it came from, it saw bright flashes in the distant darkness. Flashes not from from fire, or lightning, but from physical reality being torn out of existence. It looked away forcefully, as if it couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Sunlight peeking over the horizon drew its attention. 'Another night of traveling done...'
Turning, the creature sprinted across the land, leaving the pig's corpse behind.
