The Shifter

The Shifter
The especially stout and hairy dwarf
disappeared in a flash of emerald light
and dust, and where he had stood was a
massive ram, twice as tall as the dwarf.
Charging forward, the brutish beast ran

were attempting to pillage this remote
farm. As the would-be thieves fled into
the forest, a similar flash of verdant light

that stared at him from the window. It was
as if it was watching where he had left the
key to the cells below. When the guard left,

young boy, picked up the key, and lept out of
that same window. That night, there would be
a jailbreak from the baron's most secure dungeon. Creating
