Death Devourer
"Only this thing is keeping him alive," Arthur whispered to Reyna, who stood tensely beside him. She had revealed her fairy wings relfex-like in the face of the manifested creature, their soft light bathing the room in a blue hue. Outside, the heavy shutters in front of the windows rattled in the wind. The entire building groaned, both from the force of the wind and the tense atmosphere.
The creature straightened up a little. The thing could think, at a level where it understood that Arthur and Reyna were paying attention to it. Beyond this brief tension, however, it reacted no further. It merely kept its enormous fly-like skull firmly pointed at Arthur. The long proboscis, anchored in the sleeping man's mouth, steadily pumped more material out of its body, which landed gurgling in the creature's stomach. Even Arthur, with all his experience in dealing with ghosts, had never seen anything like it.
The thing had only appeared now, after night had fallen, although Arthur had already scoured the entire village with his spirit threads. It was unlikely that it could have simply escaped him. He even found the fine fragments of dying ants in his current form with ease. He should have discovered a spirit creature of this size. Especially as fat as the thing was. How long had it been eating?
E-E-E-E-lena, the words from the mouth that suddenly opened above the trunk made Reyna and Arthur flinch so much that they both almost screamed, is Elena w-w-w-well?
Death devourer are exceptionally rare and powerful members of the spirit-beings. They consume physical suffering and transform it into spiritual energy, but this treatment comes at a heavy price.

Puh ist das gruselig und erinnert an Geister-Aliens. So etwas will man nicht erleben oder sehen. Großartige und sehr inspirierende Idee und mir gefällt die Einführungsgeschichte. Was ich allerdings nicht verstehe: kann man sie als nicht betroffenen Person sehen oder nicht? Die Einführungsgeschichte würde darauf hindeuten, der Inhalt des Artikels jedoch eher nicht. Und was noch viel wichtiger ist: Wie tötet man dieses Dinger und was passiert, wenn sie sterben?
Wie bei den meisten Geistern in der Welt sind sie nur für diejenigen sichtbar, die Kontrolle über eine der verschiedenen Energien verfügen und diese manipulieren können. Die gewöhnlichen "Unbefähigten" dagegen können sie nicht einmal sehen, wenn sie von ihnen berührt werden. Gleiches gilt auch dafür sie loszuwerden. Ihre Körper sind aus reiner Energie geboren, also braucht es auch reine Energie, um sie wieder loszuwerden. Einmal getötet, zerfallen sie in ihre kleinsten Partikel und werden wieder eins mit der Welt aus der sie gekommen sind. Danke für die lieben Worte :)
