The creature she beheld had not been there a moment before. She was sure of it. There was nowhere it could have concealed itself, and yet now suddenly it was there. The erect part of it was as tall as Kennit, and a heavier slug-like body trailed behind it. As she stared at it, it flung out flexible limbs from its upper body. They were impossibly graceful, bonelessly unfolding, with outstretched long fingered hands at the end. The fingers were webbed. Its body was grey-green and gleamed damply where it was not covered by a pale yellow cloak. Its flat eyes glared at them menacingly.
