"What…is that...? Lurking in the dark? Oh wait! I am." A deep gurgled laughter echoed in the dark. Numerous wisps littered the room, dim and cowering in any crevice they could find. A silhouette, slithered around the room, gelatinous and constantly morphing.

"Oooooooooh…young and vibrant…yet so very, very old. There is so much of it!" It turned towards the wisp, allowing it to dance again along his hand.

A small squeal escaped the wisp as the creature swallowed it whole, sending the others scurrying and fleeing. It pad no heed to them as they ran away from him, realeasing a long drawn out groan.
"So….Hungry…"
