The hiss and crackle of singed logs and burning earth accompanied groaning sounds of warping metal. An oval silhouette soon became faintly visible amongst the clouds of grey smoke, lit by the dull hue of scattered burning embers. Heat carried on the air over Elodie, subtly stinging her skin as she approached the strange object through the forest, emerging at the edge of the clearing. She could see before her the rather large crater, the size of a small car, dug out of the earth just ahead. Chunks of hardened soil and broken up stone lay strewn about, scattered between the toppled trunks of a dozen or so fallen trees torched into charcoal from the objects flaming impact. Some of the displaced earth formed a mound like wall around the crater about half a foot high, which was soft sinking in as Elodie pressed into it with her heel. 

The haunting silence quickly broke and a mechanical whirring screeched out of the smoke. A cacophony of robotic chirps and buzzing rang out, echoing through the clearing as something violently shifted about the smog. Wicked metal edges and curved blades emerged first, extending out into the air like the deathly reach of an arachnids legs. Strips of neon orange and glinting silver glimmered in the pale light of the rising moon, patterned across the large metallic carapace of an unearthly creature. 

Elodie's gaze was met by a ferocious looking maw brimming with thin dagger like teeth by the dozens and two sets of sharp mandibles. Coal colored metal plates made up the creatures body, along with an array of long jointed appendages tipped with harsh scythes and what appeared to be some form vicious looking firearms. Rising from the smoke like a serpent from the seas came the monstrosities tail, tipped with burning light and a razor like blade. Glowing canisters of a plasma like substance protruded from its back on either side of what would be its spine. Before Elodie could absorb any more of the image, an eyeless grimace turned toward her. 

A sound like nothing any human has heard roared out of the creature. Something like the hiss of an angered snake mixed with the snarl of a lion and transmitted through a bulldozer. The frightening sound shook the very bones in Elodie's body. In a ravenous flurry of motion, the monstrosity flailed its collection of blades through the air while letting out the chilling howl. Lifting a large double jointed leg from the center of the smokey crater, the metallic horror lurched forward. Elodie could feel the weight of its heavy steps shake the earth beneath her feat. The creature moved toward her, and a sense of primal terror fell over her, as if imposed on her by some strange force. Whatever instincts drew her here were screaming danger and death. The tension in the air was palpable. This otherworldly monster of a thing was coming for her.
