Slickis had been away in the woods for, maybe at most six hours. She'd gone to consult a friend of hers, one of the fey, who might have known something about the one who had taken her daughter from her. The trip had been almost fruitless, as all Slickis could obtain from the gruff elder was that; "He is within human lands." Almost useless information, given that nearly everywhere in the world was human lands now. Or soon would be.
So, when Slickis broke through the tree line, and walked out onto the shore of the lake that bordered the hidden village, and looked up to find some horrid, gray monstrosity floating above her home, she was shocked. It was late in the day, and the sun was well on its way to setting, leaving the village cast in long shadows, such that Slickis could see a blue beam of light going up into the thing, with small objects floating slowly up toward its body within the blue beam. The creature, if it was a creature, was titanic, its mass easily covering the entirety of the small village and a good portion of the lake as well. It was gray and slimy, reflective in the setting sun, and all along its body were countless, massive tentacles that waved aimlessly through the air. She'd have to go around the lake to reach her home, a journey of at least half an hour walking, but she might be able to make it in ten minutes if she could sprint the whole way.
