Prolog: The Mild Walkers

There it was, right before my eyes: the most alien being to ever plague my memories. There was no question now, my hunting party and I will need to return to the king immediately.

Thankfully, this thing slept heavier than it actually weighed or I might not have been able to bring it back to the king alive. While I'm counting my blessings, it was also very fortunate that the forest was very calm today with only a few bird chirps here and there. Beyond the stress of carrying this, I'll be it, very harmless looking creature, the unknowns of this thing were still enough to keep me on edge, and my hunting party had more than a few questions for me. They will all have to stay unanswered at least until the king sees this thing.

It didn't take long before they came into view: the half tree, half stone walls of the kingdom. Not far beyond those walls was the king, and by extension, an end to this confusion. Although I will be the first to admit I am curious about the beast I am currently carrying, this is a leader's situation, far beyond my expertise.

After passing him off to my superior, who also had some questions, I regrouped with my hunting party and set off, more than happy to leave the unknown for the king to deal with.
