They were no longer scattered as before; instead, he noticed how they were being clumped and guided together in one place, far away from ordinary people.
He was very tempted at the time to command the puppets to cause chaos and break the fragile trust Erik had built with his people.
But after some consideration, he didn't do that. Instead, he adjusted his plan, one which worked even better for him and one that would bite back at Erik's plan.
This plan included the walk he took over his territory. Opening his mouth, a big worm the size of a hand crawled out. After clawing out, the bug squeezed together and fell asleep.
This bug is the queen and birth mother of all the parasites. Parasites born from other parasites all hold a strong connection to this bug. As Silas stated before, these parasites in the abyss were beings being stomped over, and no demon or existence in the abyss paid attention to them.
