What were they protecting? Dave's curiosity was piqued as he observed the scene before him. The beasts seemed to be defending something, but what it was, he couldn't quite see.
His gaze narrowed, focusing on the center of the circle, as he tried to catch a glimpse of the mysterious thing. But he was finding it hard to see what it was.
As he continued to observe the beasts, his gaze drifted downward, and then, he noticed a large crater beneath their feet. The earthy scent of disturbed soil wafted up, mingling with the acrid smell of smoke and char. The crater's edges were rough and jagged, and the beasts seemed to be standing guard around its perimeter.
A memory flashed in Dave's mind, he remembered the meteor that had hit him, which in turn had created a massive crater at the place where he had awoken.
