The surrounding area turned into an actual playground. But it was like one taken from a child's nightmare.
The slides, swings, monkey bars, etc., came to life with monster faces and skin melting off. Neban and Siren noticed the mulch rising as something was crawling under it. The thing was making its way towards them.
Neban and Siren moved in opposite directions once the thing popped out of the mulch. They landed back on the ground, making space between them and the monster.
The thing that popped up from the mulch was a Gefin. But the child must have reduced the size of the monster because it was that of a little kid.
The Gefin looked around before locking on their scents. It let out a loud screech.
They wondered why the thing screeched when the surrounding mulch started to move again. But this time, it was coming from multiple spots.
