As dusk came the playground lay silent, except for the murmur of the living outside the gates. In the shadowlands a tempered sound of yawning could be heard, and first one then two ghostly shapes slithered out of adjacent pools of shadow. They were clad in leathery rags and bent close to the ground like animals. One of them stared intently at the gates through which Amethyst had walked, and lowered his head to her invisible footprints. After a few seconds he tossed his head to his companion, and they both melted into ether.
