The Runic Hivemind

The noises buzzed around Keng as he stood in a condensed moving ball of runes. Every Earth rune possible was condensed in this one place. At the center was the largest ball of runes. It pulsed a red color that then made the other smaller balls pulse the same light. Keng cocked his head as his tails deflected runes away from him. The balls turned to look at him. They had finally noticed him. 

"I've never met a human brave enough to infiltrate me." The largest ball spoke in English. It had a thick accent that couldn't be placed in a single region or country. The smaller balls pulled towards the big one, making it grow bigger as a large eye appeared. "You're not a human! You're just a defect! What did I tell you and the others? I would kill you if you entered my realm!" The runes shuddered as they fired at Keng. Keng sighed as his lips whispered something. The runes instantly froze, and the large runic eyeball's pupil shook, surprised.
