Braelyn's show of power

As they sat there in silence staring at the baby tiger, an ear splitting screech rent the air. No sooner had they turned towards the sound did they see a large hulking beast break through the north side of the clearing. The creature was unlike anything Braelyn had ever seen or heard of before, its head looked like a bovine skull covered in snakeskin, large with horns but still somewhat reptilian and covered in scales, it was at least eight feet tall as it stood on its four back legs, each leg ended in a massive claw tipped foot. It had a long-spiked tail that thrashed behind it and knocked down trees, a few becoming stuck on the spikes. Its two front legs were massive, its feet more like monkey hands with long multi jointed fingers and each finger ended in a wickedly shard claw that gleamed in the light.

Braelyn sat frozen in fear, hugging the tiger to her chest, and as she watched she saw the creature come down on all six legs and prepare to charge directly towards her.
