Srisha bid farwell to the strangers, who had gone around back with Sethrik and Biram, and turned back to her garden. She hoped all turned out well with them. Perhaps they would stay a few days, and meet her husband. It was always nice to have guests. And of course, Rena could meet the other traveler. After all, if they were both guests- but she knew it was probably unlikely, so she turned back to her flowers, letting her mind wander to other topics.
From behind the truck, the shadowed figure drew itself up to it's full hight, eight feet and perhaps five inches. It seemed to be wreathed in other forms, and then it seemed to shrink. A second later, an odd, mishapen being stepped out from the shadows. It looked like someone had taken strips of flesh and wrapped them around a stick figure like a mummy. It's apparent larger size seemed now to only have been a trick of the light. But it's eyes were the same. Deep, and placid. It continued to stare at the others, a friendly glint entering it's eye when it spotted Sethrik.
