As the dust cloud started to dissipate, Sienna and the man turned around to see what had happened. Sienna froze at the site of what was in front of her.
The giant metal figure stood in front of them. It must have been over 100 feet tall. Between a set of three appendages resembling arms were anchored equidistant around a circular framework. Floating in the center of the circle was a semi-transparent orb that seemed to be held in place by sheer will alone; presumable some sort of magnetic field, giving it almost a mystical quality.
The large circle seemed to pivot on an axis that sat atop a massive undercarriage supported by a monstrous set of legs constructed in such a way as to bare the anatomy of the hind-legs of a quadruped.
The silhouette of loose tubing and wires could be seen floating inside the orb, speaking to the void left by some piece that was no longer housed within the space; perhaps the untidy clutter of a former pilot, or worse yet, the chamber for a former captive. It was impossible to say. Either way….it was easy to tell that this mechanical creature was not pleased.
It extended one of its three arms towards Sienna and the baby with an open and reaching hand, while positioning an uprooted tree as threatening to strike in another.
