Description

On the left is a young boy with the head of a bull and the body of a human. He is enveloped by a dark cloud, but his face and body show through. To the right of him are two boys, one sitting above the other boy on some sort of structure and staring with a flat expression to the boy on the left. The boy below covers in fear from the boy on the left.
