CHAPTER VII
A vivid wilderness stretches across a primordial Colorado, where towering palms mingle with giant ferns and a humongous moon hangs low over steaming seas. The world is populated by creatures that feel both familiar and alien—lizards the size of houses, winged beasts with teeth like daggers, and turtles that could cover a tavern table. Into this untamed tableau humans have been slipped, their simple tools and fierce curiosity making them both hunters and witnesses to a landscape that seems imagined.
At the heart of the story is Sure‑dart, a keen‑eyed tracker who gathers a motley crew of hunters to chase the most terrifying game the age can offer. Their pursuit leads them through dense, scented forests and across treacherous cliffs, where every rustle might be a feathered predator or a hideous, horned leviathan. The opening adventure blends pulse‑quickening danger with a sense of wonder, inviting listeners to imagine what early men might have faced when the world was still ruled by monsters.
