The creature, or monster, looked like a shapeless mass of darkness; taller and wider than Eldrian. This formless darkness seemed to ebb and flow in the darkness, causing its outlines to constantly change, like ripples on water. Even with the light from Vivian's sword, they could not see more than darkness.
It seemed like the creature absorbed the light coming into contact with its body, causing only pitch darkness to remain. No other features were visible. Looking at it, Eldrian could not help but compare it to a slime. Its body seemed very similar, being formless and constantly flowing. He had no idea what it was actually made out of though.
It seemed that the creature feared the light coming from Vivian's sword. It quickly moved away from it and towards Eldrian. The word 'run' could not describe how the monster moved. It was more like the creature simply floated on the ground, no movement visible to betray its actions.
