The young girl let a savage, bird-like scream out of her wounded mouth, and she tosses what seems like a feather up in the air.
As the feather vanish from everyone sight, people surrounding her understands that the scream weren't just for show, they were a call, and indeed, the call is answered by a multitude of hoarse screeches.
They came out in the sun, from everyone blind spot simultaneously, with their bones visible, their translucid skin glowing of a faint hue of blue, visible only in little spots, while all the rest is covered in red feathers. No one knew their name, obviously, but she knew, and she called them, in their language, and they talked, in a symphony of clicks, screeches and growls.
Suddenly, the two creatures stopped talking, and slowly turned their head against the nearest enemy, lowering their hips, swaying their tail, analysing their prey, and finally, they jumped.

Imagine a horde of small demon mushroom men, each standing about two feet tall. Their caps are a vibrant mix of deep purples, sickly greens, and ominous blacks, resembling both mushrooms and sinister hats. Their bodies are squat and bulbous, covered in a textured, spore-like skin that shimmers in the dim light.
Each creature has wide, glowing eyes that flicker like candle flames, conveying both mischief and malice. Instead of mouths, they sport jagged, gaping maws filled with tiny, needle-like teeth, ready to snap at anything that comes too close.
Their limbs are spindly and disproportionate, with long fingers that end in sharp, claw-like nails, perfect for digging into the ground or snatching at prey. As they move, they emit a faint, earthy smell mixed with a hint of decay, and small clouds of spores waft around them, creating an almost dreamlike haze.
In unison, they scuttle forward, their tiny feet barely making a sound, creating a sense of creeping dread. They communicate through high-pitched cackles and chattering noises, sharing their wicked intentions as they swarm, ready to spread chaos wherever they roam
In shadows deep, where whispers creep,
Small demon mushrooms dance and leap.
With caps of gloom and eyes aglow,
They skitter forth in a wicked flow.
Their spore-filled laughter fills the air,
A mischievous sound, a chilling snare.
In crooked lines, they scuttle near,
With jagged grins, they spread their fear.
A horde of mischief, sly and spry,
In moonlit nights, they prowl and pry.
Beware the woods where they convene,
For in their dance, dark dreams are seen.
