Kringus - Demon Lord of Evergreens

"Bow Down!"  The pine tree shook, branches whipping around.

Rathgar, Nimble, Allianora, and Feris paused about 20 feet away from the tree, confusion showing on their faces.

"Bow Down, for I am Kringus!" the tree repeated.  "Fear me!  Give me your gold!  Or I will destroy you and yours!"  Some needles began to drop from the branches.  Trees near Kringus began to move, apparently on their own.  "Bow down before The Demon Lord Kringus!!"

"So..." Rathgar begain "shall we press on?"

"Yeah, lets." Feris agreed and everyone continued down the path through the woods.

"Come back here!  Fear me!"

A magically awakened feline once read about an encounter with the Demon Lord, and decided that impersonating him would be an easy means to riches and world conquest.  Unfortunately for him, he doesn't actually have any powers, so except for extremely gullible passers by, few are fooled.
