A massacre occurred.
The shadow monkeys simply had nowhere to run.
Apollo rubbed his chin with his thumb and forefinger.
It seemed somebody else was doing his job for him.
Once all the shadow monkeys were consumed, the numerous creatures began to wiggle.
Apollo strained his eyes further on the flickering creatures.
Their skin split apart from their center. It was almost like they were cut through.
Flesh grew from this gap, causing their bodies to expand.
Suddenly, they split in two. Amniotic fluid splashed across the ground while skin rapidly covered their exposed body.
The creatures duplicated.
The ecosystem of this forest had always been in a precarious balance.
The shadow monkeys would eat the fruit of light, while the creatures would eat the shadow monkeys.
Once the creatures had eaten enough, they would duplicate.
Normally, they would have a difficult time catching up to the shadow monkeys. As such, the rate of their duplication was small.
