Beyond the Enchanted Woodlands was an enormous mountain covered in red stones. Beneath this mountain was a cave where a monster slept peacefully.
It was a giant toad whose back was bathed in flames. It had been in a long slumber but was abruptly interrupted because of foreign visitors.
"Humans? How long has it been since someone has stepped out of that magical forest?" It opened its eyes and looked beyond the cave.
The ground shook as it lifted its humongous body. The flames on its back burst forth, burning fiercely with life.
"But how did they alert that being…"
It narrowed its eyes in confusion.
"No matter… Since she has spoken, I will offer them safe passage."
The giant toad went back into sleeping position and closed its eyes.
…
"We are finally out!"
The soldiers of the great allied army rejoiced as soon as they stepped out of the Enchanted Woodlands. Some wept, some triumphantly raised their hands, while others knelt and kissed the ground.
Everyone was thrilled.
