" Look!" she gasped.
Both travellers made their way over to the corner, where positioned on the wall stood a clear glass case. Swirling bubbles of blue viscous liquid surged within it and something rather small and coral colored seemed to stir.
:What do you think it is?" Nyssa whispered, watching the creature open one eye, then another as if for the first time.
