Hatchling
At first Eurig thought his ears were playing a trick on him but when he heard the sound of suppressed breathing it finally registered.
He slowly turned around to lay his eyes on a man hovering a few inches off the ground in the dead center of the room. He was looking up at the ceiling as if searching for something.
His figure was emaciated to the point that it was a miracle he was even alive but that wasn't what caught Eurig's eye. It was the feeling he got when he looked at him as if he was both there and not there at the same time.
If he were to put it into words then it would be like trying to describe an apparition.
The room fell silent.
The other demons were just as shocked and confused at this man's appearance since the only entrance was not only guarded but also in plain sight and no one had seen him come in.
Arnett even forgot his own sticky situation when he saw him. His heart started to beat faster and faster and a sense of awe overtook him.
