"What… is that?"
The egg was about the same size as that of a queen's. From the outside it looked very similar to one as well.
But as Mitch got a little bit closer, he noticed something different about it.
"That ant… is that legs? And hands?" Even Katherine felt unsure of what she was seeing.
Through the slightly translucent shell, Mitch saw a creature in the fetal position. Unlike regular ants, however, this one had more developed limbs.
Unsure of what exactly he was seeing, Mitch cut the egg open, as opposed to crushing it.
Out of the cut flowed a viscous liquid. Following that, the creature that was inside fell out. It still looked underdeveloped, and it did not wake up even after exiting the confinement of the shell.
But that did little to put Mitch at ease.
He finally realized why it looked off.
"Hey, Katherine. Doesn't this remind you of a legio?"
