Ashley Panther hisses in a frustrating tone, you can follow the movement of this thing, whatever it is, by tracking her gaze. Its approaching the Eastern reach of the cleared field.
Yulya steps over to where Alice is dragging her things and steps on them with her foot, halting Alice's progress.
Cat watches her carefully and sees she's being cautious.
Yulya taps Gundren on the shoulder and points at Ashley Panther.
Gundren notes this scene unfolding and then alone with others hears and sees Ashley Panther's gaze and behavior.
"It's back boys," Gundren says as they stare off into the darkness.
A young driver sitting by the fire looks confused, "What's back?"
He's shushed and strains to see into the darkness.
Gundren looks at Ashley Panther's eyes again and looks her pointed direction, He whispers, "must be pretty far, I can't see it yet."
A sense of dread falls across the field and everything from nightingales to crickets fall silent. Even the wind seems to have stopped. Everything seems darker in that general direction, as if dampened by some magic means.
The darkness itself seems to be spreading toward the East field.
"What is it?" the young driver whispers, terror in his eyes.
No one answers.
In the far East of the field, the horses and other beasts seem especially calm. They've stopped their grazing and moseying, some have laid down in place, others seem to have frozen in time, mid-chaw.
As the silent seconds unfold, a group of oxen furthest field seem to have noticed something. Three turn their heads to face an unseen foe, two fall to the ground as if fainting, feet straight up in the air, and the third disappears from view, not by any seen means, it just seemingly disappears, engulfed by the darkness.
You can see the extents of the darkness, it has a definite shape and it's huge.
The silence is broken by a sickly crunch, the sound of thousands of pounds of bone, meat and flesh forcibly and mechanically separated.
