Alfred's heart beat faster as he walked deeper into the cave. Suddenly, he heard a strange growl coming from the shadows.

Alfred froze, unsure if he should run or keep going. Then he saw a pile of gold shining faintly in the distance. As he moved closer, two glowing eyes appeared behind the treasure.
