The golden beast with clothes suddenly stopped when it was a few miles out, and began to vibrate. Rowan did not attack, as he was curious about what it was doing, and also cataloging what he could do without using any of his Ability Runes.
The vibration increased in intensity and the golden rat began to scream and curse, and like a stuck page on a book being forced open, the golden beast split into two identical copies, down to the clothes, except the color pattern had changed.
The sounds that were made when the split occurred were sickening. Like flesh being ripped apart by unearthly strength.
The first beast wore a white jacket and a black top hat, while the second wore a black jacket and a white top hat. The golden rat both panted for a bit, while making low moans of pain. The former relaxed and ordered the latter to proceed.
