219- About Machines and Watermelons Pt.2

Tarsuria, Year of Severus, 18, I.R., the 60th day of Spring, Broken Springs

------------------

Nullus hadn't noticed his eyes closed shut as he continued to stare at the horizon. He felt his back laid against the okre tree and slept with the little time he had. The day wasn't as grueling as that of the planting season, but his encounter with Oyue last night proved to be draining.

Just as he was about to drift further in his sleep, he felt the ground move. He immediately opened his eyes and was welcomed by a giant shadow looming over the horizon. The silhouette looked like an enormous spider. Its dome-shaped body accompanied with its long stick-like legs rowed in a pair of four was a daunting sight to see.

He leapt out from the shed and hurried back to the townspeople who couldn't help but stare at the enormous entity coming their way. He shouted at them and told them to run for their lives, but the townsfolk froze in fear.
