In front of the massive sculpture, tens of thousands of embryos were "squeezed" out of the ground from the cracks. They were covered in flesh-red amniotic membranes, crisscrossed with dense, dark-blue blood vessels like the veins of tree leaves, clearly visible. Inside the translucent membranes, humanoid shadows could be vaguely seen writhing slowly.
Those were spirits of the dead from the kingdom of Yellow Springs, now awakened by the blood of the ancient dragon embryos inside the giant statue, attempting to return to the human world once more.
