It's all over the news. An animalistic creature, probably that resides from the woods, occasionally having bits of terrorizing the local neighborhood for some "fresh meat", and you just shrugged them off like they were silly urban legends. But since your interest was piqued, you thought it'd be funny to do some hunting in the woods to otherwise try to prove them wrong.

So you gathered all of your tools, inviting your friends into this situation you initially thought to be quite amusing and went into the woods. After a couple of hours trying to find the beast, you suspect that it's awfully silent, like literally. Pitch-silent, no crickets, no birds chirping, just plain silent, and that your friends are gone for some reason. Until "it" appeared. The beast, weirdly at your size, the rest of his body underneath ebony-dark with texture reminiscent of stone, and a pale head that had a face consisting of wide eyes and an agape mouth.

In a croaky, high-pitched voice, like a gremlin's, he says... "Ahhh... fresh meat..."

You flew too close to the sun, now what you thought was amusing laughs back at you. What should you do, knowing your pride has shattered into cowardice?
