Snakes, Miasma and Spiritual Herbs!

Running along the paved stone path as he did his best to not make too much sound, the young boy could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine upon spotting several large shadowy figures a few dozen meters away from him through the mist.

Thump! Thump Thump!

Listening to the loud footsteps as these large shadowy figures moved slowly through the miasma, the young boy had unknowingly come to a stop, as he fearfully observed the large shadowy figures slowly disappearing back into the miasma again.

"They are moving in the direction of the room I came in from…?" Muttering this to himself as he realized the direction of the large shadowy figures, the young boy felt even more anxious and quickly began moving in the opposite direction of the shadowy figures once again.
