[ It takes some time to form itself, and Vander might notice as he comes in close that the roots that form it slither up from the ground and into it to solidify it further. His gauntlet makes a good hit against its center mass, and it would stumble and fall if not rooted, but it still tosses off a solid chunk of root before it can knit itself in place tightly. As it falls away, it immediately turns black with rot.
Childe’s arrow flies true towards the skull, but once it passes the point of where the crevice starts, it suddenly just stops. Vander will be able to see clearly that it was only inches away from its target, and glittering inside the cavern of the skull itself, a cluster of crystal seems to come alive. Looking at it feels foul, but not in Vander’s body, but in his Shard. Looking at it, he knows he’s looking at a cluster of fused together Shards. A tendril of light reaches forward, what seems to have stopped the arrow, and in one quiet, male voice, Vander hears: ]
I don’t want to die like this.
[ But it’s followed by a scream that feels like it would be ear-shattering, but they’re not hearing it there at all. There’s silence in the forest, but the Shards screech out through them like a wave, and it’s painful.
Roots start to edge out to wrap around Vander’s gauntlet, and the creature draws up further. ]
