Legendary Monsters by Simon Bellbottoms

The Dark Forests of Quill are no place for the faint of heart. We all know about the Hobs, Lobs and Nobs.

We tremble at the stories of wicked Hags, ancient dead and dangerous fluttering Nymphs.

Yet, nightmares are made from the tales of the legendary monsters that dwell in the spaces between worlds.

Children cower when parents tell them of the Buggane, a fearsome monster said to be 12 feet tall with skin like iron.

Many a night around the fire brings hushed whispers of huge monsters in the far north, with breath of fire.

Some nights, one might hear the distant wailing of the Banshee as she wanders rotting ruins searching for lost souls to harvest.

Nobody has seen these monsters and lived, save for the one they call Jogon, Master of Combat, and he still bears the scars of his narrow escape at foul talons.

So beware, dear reader! Beware the moon. Beware the fetid midnight ponds and pitch, timeless caves. Beware the depths of untrodden swamps and the blood moon shining on secret glades.

For darkness treads there, and the only thing that can save you is death itself.
