1: The cart passes through a narrow, rocky valley.
Ikal (narrating): How she could smell a thing over that powerful perfume she wore was beyond me.
‘Round sundown, we hit the most narrow leg of the path, where attacks were most reported, a tricky bottleneck for ranchers.
2: Ikal is looks ahead as they ride through the pass.
Ikal (narrating): I spent plenty of time as a kid near those parts – knew them rocks and caves like the back of my wing.
3: Pebbles clatter and tumble down a rock wall.
4: Ikal casually looks to his left, lifting his hat.
Ikal (narrating): I wasn’t scared of nothin’.
5: The monstrously huge, hulking beetle appears out from behind the rocks: dark purple shell with large limbs and tusk-like mandibles. Its clawed limbs clutch the boulders as it crawls down the wall of the canyon. Ikal, and his horse, react in surprise.
Ikal (narrating): Reckon I shoulda been.
