Jay glanced back as the skeletons rocked the throne from side to side.
“Wait…” he raised a brow.
(Slow down.) he ordered.
The boulders only raised slightly, and to Jay’s surprise, they didn’t give chase. In fact, they weren’t fast at all.
(Stop.)
The skeletons came to a halt as he watched the shifting boulders behind them and, without all the shaking, he noticed peculiarities.
Each of the giant boulders had a smaller one next to it, which moved too.
More of the moss pulled away as they moved and Jay saw that these were not stone elementals at all.
He was too far to analyze them, but he guessed accurately what they were.
“… Tortoises? Giant rock tortoises?”
He watched as they picked at and eat the moss off each other. The only one which didn’t eat was the one the helminth had attacked. It turned around and was slowly crawling away from Jay and his skeletons.
