Eldritch Monsters

One week in the past...

In a faraway land, a village was being raided by monsters. A man ran away toward the gate, blood gushing out of his severed arm. "Hurry! We'll trap them inside!" A guard standing at the door screamed, waving his hand for the man to run faster. The monster behind him was numerous, and he was the last one.

"Don't close the gate!" The man screamed, looking back to see the tall abominations glaring at him, their eyes glowing with a blue flame. Each one of them was several meters tall, engulfed in thick slime and smoke. They stood like shadows, running after him without their legs moving, a truly horrifying sight.

The man reached the gate, sliding right beneath as it closed. He panted, looking toward the guard, crying with a happy face, "Thank you, you didn't leave me there,"

"Of course, I won't let you," The guard smiled, "Now, let's head to the feeding nest,"

"What?" The man gasped.
