The moon rose over the cold expanse, coating the excavation site beneath her in a feint glow. The camp of the team that was stationed there was somewhat quite as most of the hired local laborers were heading home over the weekend or were out to gather supplies from nearby settlement while only some of the core team remained at the site of Gobekli tepe. While all was quite something the shadows of the dig site stirred, crawling around the enigmatic pillars under the guise of darkness.
There had been a lot of digging and research going on at this particular site over the last few years. Bringing them to the conclusion that this site in the mountains must have been one of the earliest known temples erected by humans when they made their leap to agriculture. There were no written sources and there was not a lot known about this era so they had no way for what this temple was.
The site had been abandoned for thousands of years which bound the current weakened resident to that place as he couldn’t hope to traverse the dessert in his weakened, exposed form. Haven been woken out of his slumber by the archaeological team, he knew that he had to be careful but also that this was probably his way out. Not having been able to feed for quite some time had left the thing exhausted and weak. He did not possess all its power and it couldn’t be sure if the tricks he still had would work, but if he waited the chances of him being caught would just increase and with most of the people not in the camp this was the opportune time for it to try its luck.
Slowly It slithered down the mountain to the encampment below. Its unstable shape now visible as he had to risk going into the open. The mass of the creature moving and convulsing as it gripped the ground and little plants infront of him to drag to drag him along the floor. The creature looking like the gored and mixed remains of a medium sized animal, like roadkill with a mind of its own. Exposed sinew and muscles sprouting out of a blob of meat that seemed to have no stable state, with appendage exploring the area around him as the swirled around him. The moonlight making his somewhat slimey parts shine dully as it made its way into the camp, roaming between the tents, that were mostly empty.
Coming to one tent were there still seemed to be a small light present from a candle or a small flashlight. It would of preferred if the resident of this tent wasn’t potentially still awake. But his options would run out as waiting it out could be dangerous, but there was only one potential target that he was interested in the team, so he could also not just choose to scout the camp for some other options. Taking the risk a seemingly missformed boneless arm, more resembling a octopus appendage with a claw then and actual arm, lifted up a flap of the tent as it slowly crept closer.
A fold of its fleshy core convulsed and opened, looking like it would throw up, revealed a big purple eye that peered into the tent.
