There was a moment where the thing did nothing; and then everything happened all at once.
The clasp on its cloak snapped, and the cloak was left hanging in midair as the thing beneath it vaulted like it had been fired out of a cannon, on a trajectory that would take it directly towards the shade. Irby saw the thing and it was all he could do not to scream.
It was like liquid onyx poured into the shape of some kind of man, in that it had arms and legs and a head and torso, but beyond that everything dissolved into madness. Its body, black as jet, terminated in feet that were most like unto a velociraptor's, with huge white claws meant to disembowel and rend and tear, sunlight glinting off of it as if had already been wet with blood. Its arms were like long bands of steel bound in flesh, ending in hands that did not seem like hands so much as hellish flowers - the palms were set flat against the wrist, with each of its dozen enormous fingers, six per hand, radiating outwards with even spacing between them. Each finger was a foot long and five-jointed, and though they were slender they looked to have the strength to crush stone like it was tissue.
The thing, the Monster, hit Irby so hard that it bowled him into the ground, digging a deep trench with his body as he was pushed across the grass. Its head hovered inches above his, and in it he saw his reflection: it was featureless and smooth, blacker than a thousand nighttimes, and when he looked at it it was like looking at a mirror. He had never seen anything so terrifying in his life.
Pinning his arms, the thing bought up one of its legs and slashed his stomach open, tracing a line of red across his midsection.
