Chapter 9: Llorts and Snilbogs

 

---

The Suko Mountains, lying far to the south on the continent of Maasai, extend in a shallow horseshoe that separates the Southlands and the uninhabitable Irtum Crags from the rest of the world. Filled with danger and unknown mysteries, these mountains are rarely travelled and remain almost completely unexplored.

The Rabid Rabbit flew through the air towards him, claws outstretched, pining for his throat. Spittle flew from its open mouth, long, sharpened buckteeth and pink gums glistening. Its beady red eyes, the hallmark feature of the rabbits, bore into him with crazed hunger.

 

Logan loaded his weight onto his right leg and lunged to the side, creating an opening in front of the rabbit, as was their well-practiced strategy. Sunlight glinted on the arrow’s razor tip as it flew by his head, speeding through the space he’d occupied just a moment before with an audible “whishh."

 

The black shaft of the arrow plunged into the rabbit’s gaping jaws and the animal collided into the ground with a crunch.

 

Logan turned, leapt at the rabbit, and stabbed his sword downwards with both hands, skewering its spine.
