The Grootslang
Close your eyes and let the world fall away. Join me on the Richtersveld at midnight. A broken land of red rock and thorn, where South Africa bleeds into Namibia. The Orange River slides through it like black glass under the moon. No lights. No help. Only the wind, thick with the smell of sulfur and something older than regret.
This is Legends of the Hidden Horde Episode 7: The Grootslang – Guardian of the Bottomless Pit.
