The sin eaters are a recent anomaly.
The Origin Exiles encountered them first. They met in a time before their strange transformations. The Eden would encounter them next, and the encounter did not end well. Several ships were found empty, barren of life. Imagine your own gods being abandoned in the void, falling before a single enemy vessel.
From there we hear tales of strange invisible lifeforms roaming the galaxy and abducting those who wander too far from home. They infiltrate planets, unseen and unheard. They take to robbing graves and collecting bodies on distant battlefields. Cloaking technology shouldn't be possible to that degree.
Their presence often leads to madness. The few who survive their encounters report hallucinations, strange whispers, and a lasting fear of the dark. What are they? How do these creatures tick? If these things exist, then we may have a serious problem on our hands.
As always, I *adore* this. I'm loving the lead up here about the Sin Eaters. I'm sensing more to come, am I right? I hope I'm right! :D
Oh yessss. More to come for sure! Thank you as always. I'm glad you enjoyed it
