Grendel Kirk
So the cabin. That was something. Grendel had been all over the lands surrounding Mashal, and never before had he seen this cabin. Not once. It was highly suspicious, and it led Gren to believe that there was something unnatural going on here. He was not a superstitious person by any means, never was. So unnatural meant
magical. Magic meant money. Money meant no more getting half drowned in a mud puddle in the middle of a rain storm, or going days at a time without eating. Money meant warm, cozy fires and soft, comfortable beds. Money meant food, all that Grendel could desire. He could replace the too large glass eye that made his socket ache with something fancy and jeweled. He would be the envy of the town! Gren just needed to take whatever was in that building. He could feel it. Calling to him.
Certainly something magical was worth a great deal of money.
There was certainly something in that house.
And Grendel Kirk wanted it all.
Gren began to descend down the hill towards the first pond in a slow, methodical way. He felt as if some great puppet master in the sky was pulling him along, guiding him by invisible strings. He began to wade into the first pond, determined. The fires of his hope burned brighter than a sun. How Gren hoped.
He could feel the treasure ahead pulling him forward.
Gren could feel the
tug.
