Mother of Beast and Swamp

Thaluzont moved through the stagnant swamp toward the small hut that was hidden deep within. He had left his elite guards back where the forest ended and the swamp began.

The Gobi swamp stretched out for miles until it came to a thin patch of forest before the perilous cliffs rimming the western edge of Los that dropped several hundred feet into the dark sea. It lay nestled within a valley surrounded by the northern Barodine Mountains and was inhabited by only the nastiest of creatures. Among them were the worvak, and mother to them all was the witch woman named Lornareen, who remained unchallenged in her dire home. After all, what purpose would one have to enter a swamp? There is nothing of worth within, and being that it is the home of the worvak, entering such a place would most certainly bring about one’s death. On top of that, Lornareen had made quite the reputation for herself. She was called the Mother of the Worvak because it was believed that she controlled them, along with the rest of the beasts that dwelt within the rotting mire.

Thaluzont worried nothing of these stories. He feared no man or beast, but he was no fool. He knew that he was not invincible and if enough men attacked him, they could very well defeat him. So normally he traveled with his elite guard. But the master instructed him to leave them behind. This journey he would have to make alone. He thought of what it would be like to try and move a force through the swamp. He didn't have to think hard to realize that it would be disastrous. He tried to stay on somewhat dry or damp ground but found himself, more often than not, up to his knees in the putrid water that covered the swamp floor.

Moving any cavalry or wagons through this would be impossible and any long duration within would wreak havoc on a suit of armor. The armor would not stay dry and bugs would soon infest it, making their home within the mud that was trapped in the folds. The trees were thick with vines that the men would have to cut through, dulling their blades. And with no land markers to offer some type of direction, an entire army could easily get lost in the stinking, retched bog.

Thaluzont was told to enter the swamp and simply walk until his escort arrived. He was beginning to think that they missed him and now he was lost in the festering place. He continued to walk, ducking under the thick vines and jumping from dry spot to dry spot. Dark clouds had formed overhead, casting the dark, dismal swamp into further shadows. Insects and other unseen creatures sounded off all around, calling to others and screeching their warnings when they sensed him. He thought he heard movement off to the side but when he looked he saw nothing. The water had been disturbed by something, probably a snake.
