80 Down By The River

Their drive took them out of the grassland, and down a road that led through a marshy area, where the Crocolisk could be found. There were other magical beasts in the area, ones that hadn't been flagged as the most likely ones to build a strong team with Hawk, and some of them were not shy about being around the roadway when they passed.

For example, a large antlered animal roughly the size of their truck, with long legs, and a thick neck that promised those broad antlers weren't just for show.

"What exactly is that?" Karl muttered as they passed it by.

"Southern Moose. They're not a magical beast, but most of the Common Grade beasts won't mess with them." Alice replied.

That was understandable, the beast was massive.

Up ahead they spotted a few smaller magical creatures, and the others watched Karl carefully to see if he had any sort of response to them, but Karl was just in wonder at all the scenery, unlike anything he had ever seen before.
