The only sound that could be heard for miles was the pounding feet of an eight thousand pound Hippopotamus charging at 50 miles per hour. The thundering sound had attracted creatures of all type but mostly zombies. On the back of the Hippo sat a creature that appeared to be a man of 5'6" with the head of an over sized toad. The creature stroked the hippo's head "Be ready Maurice they are coming". As the hoard approached the hippo reared back and landed one huge foot on the head of a zombie, as the creature drew his repeating crossbow and loosed a bolt into another zombie. He then moved to the next target and took down another zombie. The hippo continued charging forward knocking the oncoming undead left and right all the while bolts flew through the air finishing off the pathetic creatures. One of the shamblers grabbed hold of Maurice's tail so the The creature spun on the hippos back drew a short black sparkling blade and swiftly removed the zombies head from above the brow. The creature bends forward and kisses the top of the beasts head "that was a close one buddy! Don't know what I would do with out you." Maurice started to pick up the pace since most of the zombies where thoroughly dispatched. Off in the distance the creature sees the tall dark walls and gate to his destination. The creature leaned in close to Maurice's ear "We are getting close buddy and I need water, I can feel myself drying out. I can just imagine how you feel." The gate rose taller and taller as they approached. The feeling of anticipation grew heavier and deeper with every puff of dust that stirred from maurices pounding feet. As they at long last reached the gate the creature shifted to his less intimidating human form and announced himself to the guard"My name is Lazuras Corsican and I seek sanctuary! I surrender myself and all my weapons! For the love of the Gods please let me in!
