Hmm.

There is something there.

A beast.

You stay away. Get away from here.

Help!

Help!

Are you okay?

Get back inside.

You need more men.

Don't worry. I will get the men here quickly.

Which is it, you mad creature?

Run or fight? We have to hurry. Where are they?

We can't let it get far.

We came as fast as we could. Would you have let an old woman perish so?

And you, standing but a mile away?

Do you have us run barefoot and half -clothed? What manner of beast was it?

What is it we're hunting in these hills?

It was as tall as a tree, as wide as two bears.

A brutal beast with fangs as long as your fingers.

A beast that large?

Our fate is in your hands. You must go and capture this beast or destroy it. If

you cannot, we will all perish.

I will not let a black cloud hover over this land.

We'll cage the creature if we can.

If not, we'll end its roaming.

Stop your prattling and move yourselves.

On with us. The beast won't roam far from its den.

And if it comes back here, I will crush it.

me to the river to gate. I want to play in the water.

I am sure he's out getting us a delicious meal to eat.

The river does sound like a fun adventure.

I want to be brave like him.

I want to help get food for us.

Your father walks far and he walks careful.

How is he not afraid out there in the forest all alone?

He is afraid at times.

Being brave does not mean having no fear.

How does he get scared? He is so big and tough.

Brave is feeling it and walking anyway.

Brave means your heart is strong.

Strong? Like his big arm?

Strong enough to stand tall.

Strong enough to stay kind. Strong enough to help when someone is smaller.

So being kind and caring is brave?

The bravest hearts are the gentlest ones.

You stay here until I get back.

I am going to check on your father.

It won't escape us this time.

Just a little longer.

There's been gunfire not half an hour past.

Came from the east of the settlement.

We'll not have disorder in this parish.

The shots carried clear across the parish.

Where precisely was this firing heard?

Beyond the lower cottages, near the timber line past O'Malley's Field.

If it is a beast we shall confirm it. If it is something else we shall discover

it.

I wake with the dawn, moss on my feet, fox on the hill, listen

to me breathe.

This forest is big and beautiful and wild, every tree a story,

calling to a child.

I will be brave like father,

he can move the tallest hill.

If he can cross the roaring water, then I can learn his

will. So I will walk among the green through every

winding way.

In this ancient land of so many things, I'll prove I'm

brave today.

Burned garbage streams, blue bells that ring.

Old Paul and logs where tiny robins sing.

I whisper his words into the curling leaves.

Stand up straight, my little one.

Trust what your heart believes.

I will be brave like...

If he can cross the roaring water, then I can learn his

will. So I will walk among the green through every

winding way.

In this ancient land of so many things, I'll prove I'm

brave today.

What are you doing out here? Where is our son?

I heard a rifle. I was worried.

He's at the cave.

You left him alone?

It's not safe for you out here.

I have men chasing me and trying to hurt me.

I told you to stay away from the town and the farm.

What are we going to do?

We aren't doing anything.

You're going to go back to the cave and keep him safe.

I will keep leading them far into the forest.

Why don't we go back together and get Pinecone?

Then we can find a new home. We can leave. There's no time for that, and

too dangerous.

You head back, and I will be back later tonight.

Go get to the cave, quickly. Have you heard?

There's something troubling the farms these past nights.

A creature of some sort. That's men's stories after dark.

Talk travels faster than truth.

The men have gone out with rifles. That's no story.

If there's something about in those woods, it's not been there long.

And it's not afraid of men.

Three shots, I counted, and shouting after that.

Men shout at shadows when the light fails.

Shadows do not splinter timber, nor stand the height of two men.

I'd best be getting back to Kit.

With any fortune, they'll find naught but a wolf and settle the matter soon

enough. I'll be off then, my friend. Mind yourself, Davy.

Something's after the eggs again.

I've seen it bolt toward the woods.

Hurry now. Let's head after it.

There it is. I see something moving.

The wood's gone still.

Padraig, Padraig, where are ye?

I'd have sworn he ran this way.

Have ye seen aught?

I found naught.

There's no sign of him.

It's near our weekly ride on coal.

Miss Bessie is steadier than most folk.

You've a sharp head on you, girl.

But the woods aren't gentle.

I can handle myself, uncle.

I've ridden those trails since I could walk.

You've courage. I'll grant you that. But courage without heed can turn quick to

folly. There's more stirring in those trees than fox or stray dog.

I know those trails better than most, uncle.

I'll not go wandering blind.

And I've not forgot.

There's been queer stirring across the countryside.

Stock gone missing. Pen torn.

Something running in and out of farm.

It's probably just a fox or a badger.

If I see danger, I won't be foolish.

That old mare's wiser than most men I've known.

But mind me, if there's truly something loosed in them woods, you turn back the

moment your gut tells you. She's minded me better than most ever could, and

she's never once led me astray.

Mind yourself now, and don't forget a bite for the road.

Bring the bandage pouch, just in case.

Don't worry, Uncle.

I'll be just fine.

Be back before dark.

I will, Uncle.

We'll not linger.

Oh, no.

There you are, old girl.

I knew I'd find you standing quiet as ever.

She's roaring again, you know that.

Always thinking the woods are darker than they are, but we've ridden them

since I was small. There's not a bane that you know better than I do.

You've near raised me yourself, kept me from foolish foes and worse.

If there's stirring in them trees, you'll feel it first, won't you?

Let's get you ready to go on our adventure.

It's going to be a wonderful day.

Nellie, I heard something running through the yard. Have you seen

Many odd things have been happening around the countryside.

Maybe I'm just worrying too much. I have to worry.

I'm the only one keeping that girl safe.

It's been hard without her parents here.

I promised them I would look after her when they left.

Didn't expect them not to come back.

Enough of me blabbering on.

I have work to do.

Now what in blazes is that?

where do you think they're going bessie

it smells like

trouble let's head away to the south trail we can get some hazelnuts for

davy

Sorry I'm late.

What hunt is this?

We're after a great beast.

No common creature.

I found tracks leading to a cave and to the west.

I will do my best to help.

Where is Davy?

Have you seen him?

Has he gotten word?

I haven't seen him.

Maybe he's already out here.

We can't wait for him.

We have to stay focused.

What do you need me to do?

You check the east side, and I'll stay in this area.

Hopefully the constabulary will come.

Sounds like a plan.

We'll tread carefully and see this threat ended.

Take it alive, if we're able.

I'll circle back after a while.

What's the trouble?

You'd best leave these woods.

We're hunting a beast.

A beast in these woods?

It's no wolf nor stag we're after, and it leaves no good behind it. This beast

must be what my Uncle Davy was concerned about.

Tis a horrible creature, cloaked in dark fur, and I tell you plain, there's

whisper it carries our folks into the wild.

I have travelled these woods since I was a child.

I have never been in any danger.

Times have changed.

Now these woods are full of evil.

They are no place for a woman.

I have never heard of such a thing.

Do you need me to escort you home before I head off after this thing?

This you will keep me safe.

And we will be just fine.

That's fine. You be careful.

We will leave now.

You all be safe out there. Hurry now. Get out of these woods.

A beast in these woods?

Did you hear that noise Bessie?

That sounds like crying.

Are you okay?

I won't hurt you.

Don't be scared.

I am here to help you.

Well then, do you have a name little one?

Is it Pinecone?

Hello there, Pinecone.

I'm sure you're not the beast they speak of. You are so cute.

Maybe I said your parents they are after.

Did they take your parents from you? They hope not.

I will get you safe.

I lost mine, but not recently.

It happened when I was just a baby.

I guess I don't really mess with them like you do.

My uncle Davey is like my dad.

He took me in when I was just three months old.

He never treated me like a niece. He actually adopted me. It means taking in

someone that isn't yours and loving them like they are.

You're hurt, you poor boy.

What happened to your arm?

Bessie has just the thing for that.

Bessie is my horse. She is my best friend. You will love her.

Let's get you fixed up. I'll be right back.

Now let's go introduce you to Bessie.

This is our new friend. We will call him Pinecone. Pinecone, meet Bessie.

There is no sound of disorder.

Where is the uproar that Walt reported?

I'm glad to see you were summoned out here. Are you among the men hunting this

creature? Was it you who discharged a rifle in these woods?

It was me.

I had a clear shot at the beast.

Where is this beast you speak of? He is not far, but there are only a few of us.

We divide and sweep the wood. Should the creature be captured alive, it will

reflect favorably upon this command.

I don't think we can capture it. I'm heading out to look for more track.

Let's find this beast and get back before nightfall.

It came like wild weather, laughing eyes, we ain't too smile, older than the

ocean, yet you're still a child.

I know the kind of wonder, I carried it a while, I was

found and folded in, now I'm the one who'll file your grin.

Misty Hill Street, the one we ride, we run. Ye are my new friend, unlike

If the world feels strange and the road too lonely, lean on, I'll be

your friend.

They gave me a new story long ago, another home.

Now I open up the door.

You will never ride alone.

Boots, kick up the header.

Hair within the gale.

Two hearts coming together in the same soft tail.

You wait right here.

I will be right back.

Have you seen Uncle Davey, Nellie?

I've looked everywhere.

Uncle Davey, are you here?

What are you doing out?

Are you hungry?

Let's get you some milk.

You look tired.

I will prepare you a nice warm place in the barn to rest.

You will be safe there.

While you're resting, I will find Davey.

And try and find out more about this beast or your parents.

Come on, let's go get you settled in with Bessie.

What kind of animal are you? I am a Bigfoot. I am an Irish Draft Horse.

I have never met a Bigfoot before.

You're big and strong like my father.

I'm going to be big and strong one day, just like you.

Why were you wandering alone in the forest?

My mother told me to stay in the cave, but I was hungry, so I came out to find

food and to have fun.

Your mother is probably worried sick about you.

Maybe I should head back home.

She's probably looking for you right now.

It's not safe out there with a beast on the loose.

I've never seen a beast before, but my parents will protect me.

You be careful and get back quickly.

It was nice meeting you all. I will be back when I can.

There's mud on my clothes And your name on my tongue

You sleep in that

He'd gone, Bessie.

I knew it the moment I walked in.

I suppose he went looking for his mother. I hope he didn't think I

him. I was only gone for a short time. When you care for something, you see it

through. You don't turn your back when things grow difficult.

I will help him somehow.

I don't know what I will tell Davy, or how I will convince him to help.

It was hard to get this bread order together with that beast running loose.

I'm surprised you're not out with the hunt.

No, ma 'am.

I've heard the talk.

But men's stories grow larger with the telling.

It tried to hurt me. It attacked me. And the only thing that saved me was the

strength in these arms.

How did you see this beast?

I saw it with my own eyes. It was a beast the likes of which I've never seen

all my years.

And how is it you stand here unharmed?

Maybe it saw my temper and thought better of it. I screamed for help and it

off. If that's the case, the creature showed good sense.

Best get inside for the night.

Good evening to you.

I must be going.

Give Kit my regards.

I was gone so long.

What is that on your arm?

You left the cave, didn't you?

I told you to stay here.

I'm sorry.

I got hungry and wanted to be brave, so I left for food.

You could have been hurt.

Where did the cloth come from? Did you get close to the humans?

I met a human girl who was very nice, and she wrapped my arm for me.

Your father is out running from them now.

They are trying to hurt him.

Oh, no.

Is Papa okay?

Do we need to go help here?

He will be gone until tonight, and he is doing just fine.

We are going to stay safe here in the cave until he gets back.

What's all this yelling about? Who are you looking for?

It's a long story, Uncle. I'm looking for my little friend.

I brought him here and he was safe. Now he is gone.

Calm down.

I'm sure we can find your friend.

His name is Pinecone.

He is a creature of the woods.

Are you talking about that little critter running around the farm?

It's the fox.

I chased him off earlier.

How could you chase him off?

He is not a fox.

He is a creature and not your average animal.

What are you talking about?

You're speaking that town nonsense too.

He is the child of the beast they speak of.

They are real.

If they are real, it's not safe for you around those creatures.

We don't need to get involved.

We have to help them. If we don't, they're going to hurt them all. Fine.

You stay here, and I will go check into this.

I don't want you in those woods anymore.

I will wait here, but only for a short time.

How was your ride? Not so much as a broken twig out of place.

I ranged near the bog's edge and up along the stone wall.

Nothing living stirred but crows. There's ground yet unsearched beyond the

We might take the northward before dark.

We have tramped half the cursed forest and found nothing but damp boots.

You heard what Old Mayor said.

Old women's tales have sent us wandering like boys.

There's more talk of it than truth, I warrant.

Tall as two men, she claimed.

Covered in black hair and walking upright.

Old women see demons in the fog.

Maybe she is out of her mind.

I do not like the stillness of it. A fox makes sign.

A wolf leaves boor. But this, this leaves naught but rumor. If it were

blood as any living thing, we'd have fighted it by now.

It is not a common animal we seek.

We must keep trying.

Let us ride, then. Maybe the others have found more clues.

Boots in the mud, breath in the cold,

steel in our hands, stories yet told.

He creeps at the fence, lying eyes on our doors, tracks in the briar, claw

on boards, smoke from the chimneys, kids fast asleep, one broken latch, that's

all it needs.

before it hunts us in the dark a light it walks it waits for our trust we must

bring it down before it comes for our homes our families are in danger

be no rest till it's gone hunt the beast

Name on our breath now, passed down in fear.

Cows torn and scattered, echoes out here.

Men at the crossroads, lanterns held high.

If not tonight, then which child's cry?

Hunt the bee!

Before it hunts us in the dark, a light it walks. It waits for our trust, we

must bring it down. Before it comes for our homes, our families are in danger.

There'll be no rest till it's done.

We have the beast look at him quickly now secure him while the creature is not

yet turned savage

You're

lucky I don't end it right here, but you're gonna be leaving these woods for

good. He'll not fit the wagon But the brute will walk back to town if he

we will force it

Drag the brute back to town, and then let every man, woman, and child see the

monster that stalked these hills.

Another hunt finished.

And who would have thought such a beast truly walked these hills?

I surely did not expect a beast of such size.

A good thing we managed to capture him. I can hardly believe that the old woman

wasn't mad after all.

I will be checking in with the constables later tonight.

I won't rest until I see it chained up.

I'll go into town in the morning and see what they've done with the creature.

I'm tired.

Let's be off.

We've earned our tea after a hunt like that.

I'm going to check one more thing before I head out.

What was that?

Come out now or be shot at once.

Hold your fire.

I didn't know it was you hiding in the bushes there. I thought it was another

beast. Would you shoot an old woman now?

Have you lost your senses, man?

What are you doing out here?

I thought you were scared for your life.

I came out to show you men.

How it's done.

I figured you might need a bit of help. The hunt is over.

Where is the beast?

Let's clear these woods and be done with it.

The beast is heading back with the constables.

I just can't believe it. No.

No.

Just calm down.

You're going to hurt yourself.

I just can't believe it.

No, no.

I said stop.

No, get away.

Get a hold of yourself, woman.

It's all gone. Why?

Why me? It's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

Oh, my head. This coat is clean.

You men had all the fun. I was itching to get my hands on that beast myself.

If you're finished, we can move on before nightfall. It's been a long day,

I'm famished.

I'm not finished.

I will be the lead hunter in these woods.

Next time, you all will follow me.

Now, why would we follow you? Why would you be lead hunter?

I had a chapter!

Hey!

We'll see you next time.

You be safe out there, my boy.

Any luck finding the beast?

Where you been, Davy? Now you want to show up to help with the beast?

You are never there when we need you. The so -called best hunter in the land.

Now look at you.

Hold your tongue now.

I've been tending to a child, no time for foolish games.

Where is the beast?

Did you bury it, or is it alive? I captured the beast by myself.

It's heading to town with the constables as we speak. Did you capture the little

one too?

What do you speak of?

There is more of these beasts?

It is harmless.

No need to hunt it. The parents.

That's it. We only captured one parent. There is more.

We must go quickly.

I know of a cave.

Let it be.

Why would I let it be?

It will grow up and then come for us. Just like the parents.

I'm not going to hurt or capture a baby.

Then the hunt continues.

But this time, I will not capture them. I'm heading back.

You're on your own once again.

Not so tall now.

I wanted to thank you. Because of you, I will be promoted.

Beast or not, if you get out of line, you will have to deal with me.

I told them run and don't turn.

Acted tall between the guns.

Took every curse they threw.

Bid my tongue to taste the mud.

So they wouldn't come for you.

He's rose on my feet.

I'm nothing compared to the pain of knowing my

family is out there alone in the rain.

I can feel every shiver, every grand state rush through.

I tear down.

Every stone on this hill.

Just to be there for you.

They laugh at the tales they tell of a monster in a rusted cage.

Measure my hands against the bar.

Write my sorrow.

They never hear the phone.

I spoke to Fergus, and you were right.

They captured one of his parents.

The constables took him to town.

That is horrible.

They will make him a sight for all to see.

They will hurt him, and the baby is next.

We must help them, uncle.

There isn't much we can do.

There has to be a way.

These are armed men.

Hunters and constables, too.

I've spent years keeping you safe from trouble like that.

But there is a baby out there and he's alone now too.

We don't know if there was another parent.

Ever since your parents never came back from those hills, I swore I'd never let

harm come to you.

The baby isn't dangerous.

He's coming.

He trusted me.

It's a beast, a creature. You told me once not to judge a person just by how

they look.

Everyone thinks they're monsters because they're different.

Men fear what they don't understand, and we are quick to judge at times.

But he's still just a child.

When my parents were gone, you couldn't change that.

I failed.

I tried to find them, and couldn't.

This time, you can help a child get his parent back.

That was not the same.

The creature is not human.

You stood beside me when my parents never came back.

Then we should stand beside them too.

You've a stubborn heart.

Just like your mother.

What is that, a smile?

I will help.

Why is Papa not back yet?

I'm not sure. He should have been back by now.

I'm worried about him.

Why can't both of us go look for him? Because it is too dangerous out there

those men after us. I don't want you to get hurt.

Help is coming now!

A rifle shot!

I hope he didn't find the little one.

I have to find him quickly before he gets hurt.

Maybe it's not a good idea to go looking around in the brush.

We have come this far, and I won't leave without him. He's got to be out here.

I am not putting you at risk any longer. Hurry up!

I'll be okay.

Just give me a little longer.

If we can't find him, we will need to head back.

It's getting too dangerous.

Pinecone.

Where are you, Pinecone?

That's your friend.

I am here.

Right behind you.

I'm going to find you.

Sir, another report of shots fired in the forest.

I am concerned this was not the only beef.

You told me there were no more threats.

That the uproar was over and now you're telling me there are more of these beef?

My apologies, sir. I will take the men and complete the mission, and we will

disappoint.

Move quickly and capture the others.

If I hear of any more trouble after this, you will dine with the beast.

We must get through.

Yes, sir.

Keep your eyes peeled.

Keep pace. We're almost there.

Mark is getting sick.

Watch the path.

I'm here.

You're safe now.

I was worried sick about you.

I'm so glad you're okay.

Did they take both of your parents?

What?

I'm sorry about your family.

Don't you worry. We are here to help you get your family back.

I found him alone.

This is Pinecone. He is the child of the beast.

There is a good chance they captured both of them.

What do we do? Do we just let his parents perish?

Or can we save them? They will be held at the barrack and heavily guarded.

This won't be easy.

We don't have much time.

What are we going to do?

Let us move quickly, then. I have a plan.

You're not as large as the other beasts. We might have to just get rid of you.

We're almost there.

I'm sorry I didn't come back.

I thought if I let them take me, you two would be safe.

Where is Pinecone?

I fought the hunter and led him away so he could get away.

He is in the forest somewhere.

I failed him as a mother.

You didn't fail him.

I'm the one that left you alone.

I'm sorry.

You're a great mother and wife, and I'm so proud of you.

I love you.

I love you too.

Now let's go find our little boy.

The beast has escaped!

What was that? What is it?

Can't it wait until the morning?

They have escaped.

I'll be ready shortly.

We will get rid of these beasts once and for all.

It's a beast!

We must protect ourselves.

How will we ever get to Pinecone?

I hope they didn't hurt him.

We must stand together!

Why do they hate her so much?

Why do they want to hurt her?

Because we don't look like them, they think we are evil.

This land belongs to men, not beef.

Tonight, the monsters fall.

I don't want to fight them.

But to save our son, I will have to.

We don't have a choice.

Look at them now.

The monsters of the mountains.

Cornered like rats.

You too.

Wait here. Stay behind me at all time. I will fight.

Stop right there!

Now Davy wants to show up.

Have you lost your mind? You side with the enemy.

Listen to me. Send aside, you fool.

Do you want them to hurt us? To hurt Kit?

All you see is fur and teeth. Something strange.

Something different.

So you call them monsters?

You want us to trust wild beasts?

Why put us all in danger?

You're done!

I have seen the truth.

A father protecting his family, a mother defending her child, and a little one

who wants kindness.

They are not human.

They are beasts. And you, you want us to love something evil. The real test of

who we are.

is not how we treat those who look like us, but how we treat those who do not.

Is it their hearts that frighten you, or simply their appearance?

Is being different enough to destroy something?

So I ask you now, let them go home.

Let this be the day we choose compassion over fear.

Do not judge them by their appearance.

Judge them by their heart.

look the way we do. I wish we could change that.

We don't want to cause you any harm.

We just want to be friends and live in peace.

We don't look the same or come from the same place, but we have hearts just like

you.

We feel love, we feel happy, and we feel sad, but we don't feel hate for

anyone.

What shall it be?

What shall it be? What do you choose?

Let them live. Set them free.

Set them free.

Set them free.

He has said enough.

Tonight we let them live.

We learn to live with them in freedom.

Let them live.

I did raise you better than that.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I was too focused on the hunt to see that they were harmless.

Mama! Papa!

I'm coming!

You are free to go.

Live free, and you will no longer be hunted.

Bare feet in the moss.

Breath fog on the air.

You came to the tree line.

Found me standing there.

You flinched in my face.

At the size of my hand.

You ran from the forest.

Said I did not belong on your land.

I watch from the pine.

You carried our secret down to your life.

One little boy with your laugh with my stride left bread on the stone

said, I know you're out there.

Don't hide.

His hand didn't tremble when it reached for mine.

And they thought I was the crazy one. Ha ha!
