Surprise 2

Aldritch's eyes widened for a brief moment before he regained his composure. He could clearly see them before his very eyes, ethereal looking beings with an otherworldly smoke for legs exuding with green hue that dissipated at a close distance from their body, like ice freshly taken from a freezer.

'Is this supposed to be some form of threat?' Aldritch thought to himself.

Looking at the ghostly creatures, Aldritch became more serious. Apart from their nonexistent feet, Aldritch noticed the hollowness in their eyes, even though he could feel their gaze, and the zombie like features of their face, no lips, with jiggered teeth in the open, bare. They had on their bodies leather-like armour, but they held no weapons, and their posture resembled that of obedient servants than warriors.
