Author's note: Four more chapters in, and it's time for a... DRABBLE. Actually, it's because I'm incredibly lazy and don't want to have to write anything... BUT STILL.
First time I wrote this, it came out to exactly 100 words, which is nice I guess? So yeah. This was fun to write, since I absolutely love the mammoths in game. Of course, it's not that fun to run into a camp of them, but watching them from afar is pretty cool. I'll probably make a longer version of this sometime in the future because MAMMOTHS.
On a related note, I have part two of the previous chapter drafted out, and I'm revising it today, so it should be published sometime today or tomorrow!
Random fact time. Did you know that the next season of the Castlevania anime should be out in summer? I did not, and I'm very glad that somebody called it to my attention.
I'm fairly tired, so this author's note is a complete trainwreck. Whoops. I'm just going to stop myself here, before I end up ranting on and on and on and...
Yeah.

They're passing by a large mountain range (though there are so many that she can barely keep track of them on her map, let alone in her head), when she sees woolly mammoths for the first time. Huge and towering, they pass almost directly next to her, shaking the earth as they go. Aranel can barely contain her excitement. They are like nothing she's ever seen before! Looming over her, with long trunks like a snake, they're almost a match for their Giant companions. However, when she accidentally runs into one a couple weeks later, she isn't that excited anymore.
