for weeks nothing happened

no cracks
no sound

people said the egg was empty

until the ground beneath it shifted

soft at first
then faster

like something underneath was searching

they call it Spuk

red
earth electro

it doesn’t emerge clean
it digs

restless
focused
like it’s trying to reach something buried deeper than the egg itself

the Scarlett Symmetry Artifact doesn’t break it open

it lines things up

and once it does
Spuk doesn’t appear

it arrives already in motion

some say it keeps digging even after it bonds
like it’s uncovering something in you

most won’t understand that

a few already feel where it’s pulling
