Hand to hand fight

Something moved in the distance.

A deep, guttural growl rumbled through the void, reverberating through my bones like a distant earthquake. The swirling mass of colors in the distance shifted, and suddenly, it was there.

Towering.

Massive.

A creature I couldn't even fully comprehend at first.

At least four times my height, its body was covered in jagged, overlapping plates of black chitin, gleaming like obsidian. Its limbs—too many to count at first glance—were long, twisted, with razor-sharp talons that curled into the emptiness beneath it. Its head was even worse.

A grotesque, elongated skull, with multiple rows of needle-thin teeth, some jutting out at odd angles, like it had never stopped growing. Its eyes—if they were eyes—were shifting pits of white light, like someone had drilled into its face and left it hollow.

And it was looking at us.
