Bandits

The Fog Wisps congregated and evolved, turning into some kind of foam, then it turned into a soft malleable white substance like flour dough before it became still.

After some moment, the thing elongated, vertically, becoming cylindrical that one can identify as a larva. The outer layer of the thing became soft silky skin and then the body shifted, squirmed and moved like the body of a worm.

Until it resembled a white jade butterfly larva that hung upside down—and then a pair of transparent wings unwrapped the body and spread wide on the larvae's back—then more wings were unwrapped, until their number reached 14. Each transparent wing had a streak of colourful lines, beautiful enough to mesmerise Elias!

The lower part of the larvae, in its vertical stance, bent forward and looked at Elias. The worm head has 5 eyes, one at the centre and four surrounding it, glaring at Elias, and he felt fear striking him, his body trembling just by looking at the five eyes.
