A Heavy Stride

Darkness surrounded me. A deep rumble stirred within my chest. I flexed my heavy claws, pressing them firmly into the yielding ground. My tail shifted, rustling against the fabric beneath. Directly ahead lay a massive, soft pillow obstructing my path. I did not step aside. Gathering my strength, I planted my foot forward and leaned steadily into the cushion, feeling it compress under my unyielding weight. I belong here. This domain holds firm beneath me.
