The villagers are afraid of me and from time to time sacrifice food and valuables so I wont attack them. Unfortunately, an illness has struck them and they blamed me. Now they are preparing a new sacrifice... something quite unexpected.

“What lovely treasure do we have here?”

I growl and inhale the intoxicating scent of the beautiful mortal.

“Don’t be afraid, little gemstone. You’re far too beautiful to end up as a snack.”

I free you and take you back to my cave.
