Reid's eyes snapped open, his breath ragged as he regained consciousness. He was back in the cave—but something was wrong.
He wasn't where he had collapsed.
Multiple black tendrils wrapped around him, restraining him to the cave floor. He had been captured by the voidspawns and brought to their mother.
The sight of the mother voidspawn would've been terrifying to any other human or tamer, but considering he had just met the watcher, the mother voidspawn's form looked like child's play.
"I've been wanting to meet you ever since I heard of you from father" the mother voidspawn spoke again.
Weirdly enough, it didn't have any human host but it could still talk.
"After all," it continued "it's thanks to you that I was created."
'Thanks to me?' Reid thought in confusion.
"What the hell are you talking about?" He asked, struggling a bit against the restraints but they held on tight.
