The Cursed Steed

Piscodia was a small, idyllic village at the boundary of the unknown.

Its citizens knew no hunger or night, their farms were full of juicy fruits and vegetables. The air was cool and fresh, and sickness or injuries would heal at an instant due to magical strands of golden dust that filled the air.

Elders spent their entire day in front of homes, watching their grandchildren who merrily played their games.

The horse came closer and devoured one of the men whole. The beast's belly grown bigger and one could see how its victim still struggles inside it, but could not make it out.

"Please, give me my husband back!" - A woman ran outside, lamenting.

The horse looked at her and breathed heavily.

It wasn't hungry, but its brothers still were...
