"I don't know what it is, but I know it's there." He stood a moment, then suddenly dropped into a defensive stance. "It's charging!" Damien didn't know what to do as the image of the soul suddenly seemed to be running toward them. It bust through the trees into the cleaning, underground! Simply stunned by the unexpected subterranean locomotion of the being, Damien tried to jump away just as the owner of the soul burst through the ground beneath them both. he rolled up onto his fet as quickly as a human could, his mind still trying to comprehend what the thing was. 

A massive beast, made of sewn together, stinking, and rotting flesh rose up from the pit it had created. It was enormous, yet vaguely human looking, with a head and two large arms. It's fat belly flopped before it, completely hiding any legs it make have had. It was an ancient Melchiaime, and it was starving. 

"Run!" Damien shouted.
