The bellow that came back seemed to shake the earth, the trees around them shuddering and withdrawing from the terrifying scream. Then came the crashing and whiffling sound, as it began barreling towards them, eschewing flight to dive straight through the trees, to take on this foe that dare challenge it. The crashing sound draws closer and closer, until it seems like it's about to be upon them...<br/><br/>And then silence. Stillness. Nothing.<br/><br/>Was it waiting for them? Had it seen the ambush in preparation, and somehow drawn back? Was this a trap?
