A huge shadow engulfed Aerith and his companions, the moment of relief he had enjoyed only briefly now seemed to crumbled into helplessness.
The boulder stood on two legs of its own, it's form humanoid but also incongruous, rock hard exterior shifting like flesh in an unnatural jagged way. It spoke with a hint of disinterest at them, "You don't seem like worthy opponent."
For a brief moment Aerith thought the boulder monster would leave them and be on its way but it seemed the tower would never let him rest or keep his sanity. The huge boulder monster gave a low bellow, a cross between a grunt and a deep, dark chuckle. "It's been a long time since I last had human flesh."
Aerith swallowed hard and looked back at Emilia standing right next to Nasha, they both stared at him not expecting him to save them or take the lead.
