The Quicksilver Parasyte

The substance was called Quicksilver. It overtook 95% of the world and spread rapidly, depending on which person you ask. Some would say this was a blessing for humanity, others would call it a curse, and naysayers would call it the apocalypse. Quicksilver moved at a steady pace turning everything it touched into something that it was not and something that others would call the true nature of an item or species. There were several categories of creations that came out of Quicksilver: Deformities, Reformities, Infectoids, and Reducers.
Deformities were known as the Monstrosities, they took shape only after it has had contact with a natural substance from the Earth. A Lifeform or inanimate object, Quicksilver gave new life to creatures, of the Earth, and breathed life into objects that have waited patiently in the bowels of the earth to rise again to terrorize the Earth. It did not matter, Quicksilver was the lifeblood of deformities, they could manipulate their shape and mimic life to a point of so convincing that some have even tried to conform to humanity, or at least what was left of it...
Reformities were those of Quicksilver that seen itself as the salvation of humanity and began converting life form or inanimate object into a new creation or succumb to the oppression that was Quicksilver, or die. The Reformists was the name given to these of humanity that were 'converted' either willingly or unwillingly, it did not matter, they lost all hope in what was left of humanity and became followers of an infection that became known as Quicksilver. Reformities were the prophets of a gray ribbon-like parasite from beyond the stars. Something humanity was never prepared for due to their own naivety. Reformists were known to possess the ability to transform or 'convert' a life form or inanimate object into a vessel of immense power, but had no consciousness of its own self...
Infectoids were the Quicksilver's agents of destruction. It is rumored that most of the conversion of the Earth was done only by Infectiods, from the moment Quicksilver touched the atmosphere of Earth, Infectoids broke off and landed in several crucial areas on the surface of the planet. They would dive to the deepest depths of the ocean, that it only took moments before it would spread to the nearest lifeform or inanimate object and change its structure into a new Infectoid that uses the raw materials of the earth to spread. It takes only moments before the new Infectoid and spread once more...
Reducers are nothing more than an over glorified Queen bee. They are Juggernauts, giants of an alien parasyte; they are the truest form of Quicksilver. They work as the Matriarch's of Quicksilver, being the hub of most operations that houses the Quicksilver. They produce the natural state of Quicksilver and are the strongholds that keep the planet in its wasteland state. They also were launched mid-space of the atmosphere of Earth. Hitting all the major cities on the face of the planet; which are now the major concentrations of Quicksilver Abominations. It has been almost a year since the initial invasion from this celestial substance that has become known as Quicksilver...
The year was hard to remember, since the beginning of the Face Wars; in these days it hardly mattered. People were haunted by thoughts that were uncontrollable, at least that is what they thought... Many would end up wandering the cities for days almost as if nothing had changed from their daily lives but there was one small factor that made them remember one crucial thing, fear...
Being one of the last to be infected, Damon Erick Peters and others, as the term was coined by modern doctors at the time this all began. People would go see doctors for pain in the back of the neck. There was no physical damage in these cases so doctors would write several prescriptions a day since they too were suffering from the same ailment. What was really wrong with these people? This would not become obvious until months after the first signs would appear, some would call it a parasyte that would take shapes in their dreams, but the worst case say that the shape was always near them, or close by. The Germans called it "Der Grobman" or slenderman, in English. To the Japanese they called this form of a parasyte "Kuro Kiseichu," black parasyte, in english. Damon simply called it fear...
