A CALL TO ITS MASTER

When the final blow landed, it did not shatter. It stilled. The mutant egg, once writhing with sick life and pulsing veins fell silent. Its surface, once slick with ichor and twitching membranes, began to darken. Not rot, not burn, darken. A creeping black spread across it like ink dropped into still water, swallowing every grotesque color it had once displayed. You felt it pressing against your lungs, a quiet, suffocating presence, as though the thing was not dying, but withdrawing. The low hum was now more faint, barely any vibrations could be felt. The egg shuddered once andand began to collapse inward. Its mass shrank impossibly, folding into itself with soft, wet contractions. No pieces broke away. Nothing was lost. Everything was taken back in. The black deepened to something absolute. Light didn’t reflect off it anymore,it seemed to disappear into it. What had once been a grotesque, heaving mass now fit within the span of a hand. Smooth. Oval. Perfectly still. A small charm, no larger than a trinket one might wear around the neck. Threads of hardened ichor swirled beneath its surface, suspended like veins frozen in time. Occasionally, they shifted, as if remembering motion. The hum pulsed in uneven intervals, almost like a heartbeat trying to find rhythm in a body it no longer had. The moment it was touched, the sound changed. It grew sharper. Hungrier. And when shaken the hum intensified into a resonant drone that seemed to crawl into the mind, rattling thoughts loose, stirring unease deep in the gut. The ichor inside pulsed faintly now, responding to violent movements. If held long enough, you could feel the hum begin to sync with your heartbeat. It felt as though something was listening, something was waiting.
