Snippet #1117105

Jason woke with a start... his shirt was wet with sweet and his palms were cold and clammy. His chest rose and fell quickly as he looked about him, trying to remember where he was and what he was doing. Why was in a shed? Then he remembered… he was still in this world. Jason let out a yawn and stretched out his arms and legs, attempting to wake his body up. Apparently he had a nightmare of sorts but what about, he couldn't remember exactly. He vaguely recalled being with a group of men and they were bending down… worshiping something. Or perhaps they were just preforming some ritual. Next thing he knew, he was running through the woods being chased by a maniacal laugh but seeing no one around him.

Odd… Jason just shook his head, grabbed his belongings, and headed outside. He was greeted with a soft breeze and a beautiful rising sun. The country was truly amazing here. Much better then the burnt wasteland that rested behind him. A loud thud distracted him from admiring his view. Looking down the hill, Jason saw a horrendous sight. A large beast, some twelve feet tall, was thrashing around outside the farmers house. The beast's white fur swayed with the movements of his heavy body, stained in some spots with what looked like dried blood. His forearms were massive and smashed into the ground, easily creating small craters in the ground. It's long tail swished through the air, a bard like object attached at the end. This was a dangerous creature indeed but that didn't stop the farmer from surrounding it with several other men. They poked and jabbed at the beast with whatever they had; spears, pitchforks, hoes. Jason stared uneasily, not sure if joining the fight would be a good thing or bad. Then one of the men was struck by the beast's tail and sent flying backwards. His pain echoed through Jason's head, causing him to look away and cringe. What just happened? Jason picked up his things and trotted around the hill, leaving this area before anything else happened to him. There would have been little he could do against such a creature anyways.
