Right at the edge of the clearing, the ground bulged and swelled, breaking apart as several clawed limbs forced their way out of it. Multiple high pitched screeches were let loose as some of the most disgusting monsters Leon had ever seen emerged.
The monsters had smooth, pink skin that was stained by the brown dirt of the earth. They possessed four limbs, a tail, a long, drawn out face, with a pointed nose. They also lacked eyes, but from the way their noses looked, Leon could tell that they did not truly need eyes. A few sniffs were enough for them to tell where their enemies were. Their heads snapped in the direction of the tree where Leon and the others were gathered.
"Crap!" Leon cursed again, pulling his new sword out of its sheath. Its metallic body gleamed with a golden light as it was bathed in the golden glow of the tree. Nero held up his shield and brandished his broadsword, while Kaladin spread out his arms that were already crackling with lightning.
