A moment passed. There wasn't a single movement from either side of us.
Then with a slight tilt of its shoulders, one of the monsters let out a low, sharp sound as if observing something...as if detecting something with genuine curiosity.
And then it stepped forward. Then almost in an uncertain manner, it placed forward its other foot.
A shrill voice escaped it's throat as all its tentacles danced behind him and gestured something to the other companions.
Then like an eager child who has just walked their very first steps, it ran forward as its feet fell on the ground in an irregular pattern almost as if it was stumbling throughout the way. And all the while, it let out a happy sound that sounded too humanly for a mere monster.
Encouraged by their comapanion, the others slowly took their first steps as well. In an uncertain manner just like the running monster.
