The Monster Domain [18]

When the Skeleton entered its domain, it watched, in silence. Unmoving, too lazy, or maybe too exalted to step down to probe.

While the skeleton settled into its domain, hunting, crafting, building a bastion, turning itself into an apex predator, it watched.

When the skeleton started thriving, it also watched.

And when the Human and Elf entered its domain, it also watched, with even greater intrigue this time.

It was not everyday that new beings tended to enter its domain. It was bored to death in this world where it was the King, the sole Apex, and so when newcomers come, it tended to play with them for entertainment.

And that was why it stayed, and watched.

It watched the Elf and Human with unflinching focus, taking them as the newest source of entertainment in its boring world.

It watched their every movement across its domain like a creep, stalking them silently from the shadows.
