Mina finally caught a glimpse of what lurked behind the black clouds. Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the silhouette for a brief moment. The frequent flashes allowed her to make out its general shape, even though the swirling clouds still concealed most of the details.
It was strangely humanoid. It had a bald head, two arms, a torso, and two legs. Its proportions were almost human, but something about its silhouette felt wrong. There was no way that thing could be a human, no matter how closely its body resembled one.
The creature hovered high above the ground, suspended in the raging storm. It remained motionless, its indistinct head facing downward. Toward her.
Mina couldn't explain how she knew but she felt certain that the creature was watching her. Its attention seemed to weigh on her from above, even though she couldn't see its eyes through the darkness.
Judging by its silhouette, the creature stood roughly ten meters tall.
