[i]Despite it being the late hours, the swamp was still hot and muggy. Mosquitoes filled the air, leeches filled the water, and a monster occupied the mud banks. It emerged from its doze with a lazy awareness. It stretched through the mire, slowly contracting to pull itself forwards, resembling a half-ton earthworm. 

An intruder? No. The Magna Pater did not feel as if its rights had been violated. This was a guest, someone that was welcome. It paused, a single rugose ear perking from its muddy head with a wet squelch. It could hear the shape of its guest, estimate their weight based upon the sound of their feet, their height from their breath, their strength from their heartbeat. This one was powerful, perhaps the strongest creature the Magna Pater had ever encountered. This upset it. The Magna Pater didn't like challenge, it didn't like difficulty or change. This guest was too strong to be allowed to exist. The monster began squirming towards its guest, seventy meters away.[/i]
