There are 3 panels.

PANEL 1: “Loch was tasked with finding the creature that inhabited the forest, and he set out hastily and without pause with his bow in hand and quiver on his back. The forest was still, without sound, without an animal in sight, without the singing of birds or the cricketing of crickets, only the faint light of the clouds reddening the tops of the trees”. In the picture, Loch runs decidedly through the dark forest. His serious, impenetrable gaze is striking.

PANEL 2: “Loch heard a noise and hid behind a tree. He peeked behind its trunk and managed to see that which had been tormenting the villagers: an animal, a creature… A beast! Huge monster, white monstrosity, grotesque terror. Its tail long and scaly, hissing on the dirt. Standing tall on its wide legs, white legs, furry legs. A goat was impaled by the long, sharp claws of its other six limbs”. The picture shows Loch hiding behind a tree while, a few feet away, a hideous creature devours a goat. Its head is white and elongated; from a distance, it resembles a skull.

PANEL 3: “Feeling observed, the creature turned and looked around, but Loch quickly managed to hide. The monster’s face had two rows of four black eyes without pupils, a flat, pointed nose, and fangs so long they protruded from its head like deadly swords. Loch knew that every beast had its weak point, and this one was no exception: it didn’t have ears”. The picture shows the beast’s face up close. Its white head stands out against the dark background of the forest.
