The Elephant

1. 1. With thunderous steps, the Elephant Knight parades past with armoured soldiers. She marches toward the Seat of Power to receive a hero’s welcome.
2. 2. Excited children bicker over which of the Elephant Knight’s deeds were the greatest (see opposite).
3. 3. A cruel hunter watches from the shadows, quietly alerting the Company and asking if they have seen the Elephant. He is hunting it for sport.
4. 4. The Elephant lies dead, the Elephant Knight screaming in anger, running into the distance. The hunter lurks, waiting for a safe moment to claim his trophy.
5. 5. In a muddy pit, the Elephant Knight slathers herself in wet clay, shouting to the sky in a language you cannot speak. She fights off any attempt to stop her, leaving when completely caked in clay.
6. 6. A monstrous clay elephant smashes at trees, trumpets at the sky. Heavy rain begins to fall, washing the creature away into the damp earth.
