The Star Eaters

>Name: The Star Eaters

Legend of the beginning.

Long, long ago the Star Eaters scoured the stars clean of light and life. Living naught but darkness and the bones of planets behind. Our hunger was endless, and our ferocity boundless. Star after star was snuffed out until all was darkness. And we starved. And we died.

That was the first lesson. Only eat until the light begins to dim. Then we must move on to let the light brighten once more. No longer shall we snuff out the stars.

It was then the great council of the Eaters came together for the first time. There were others places were stars flocked together. But the trip would be long, and all would die unless sacrifices were to be made. But we argued on who had to die, and who had to live, and what tribes would carry what. Until it was war. A war we could not afford. Then once again we died. Finally we came to accord. No more will we die to each other.

That was the second lesson. The Star Eaters shall not fight one another for any reason.

The journey was long. And arduous, but those who gave their lives so we were fattened for the journey had saved us. We came to a new school of stars, swirling with its spiral arms. We ate as we had learned to. We schooled together as we had learned to. Then we discovered we were not alone. They warred us when their star dimmed. And we learned the pain of magic. And we learned the fire of machinery. And we learned. And when we decided to fight back we took those lessons and we built. And we won.

That was the third lesson. To survive we must learn. To survive we must build.

We are the star eaters. And we have come to a new world, where many voices cry out. And we will dim the star here. And we will not war upon each other. And we will learn, and build.

An excerpt from a old journal.

Anyone viewing the star eaters shall note the similarities to both shark and biped. the hands, even the legs, and the arms are all humanoid, even the general shape of the torso looks human, if female. The head even swivels like a human. That is where the human ends and the shark begins. Teeth, crystal-like and sharp triangular, like shards of glass extend deep into the wide throat, and a long whiplike tail with a dorsal fin extends far behind them as they somehow swim in the void, managing speeds greater then should be possible. The worst is the eyes, black as the night, except inside there are the glimmers of stars.

A word of caution. To see the Star Eaters descend upon a star is to see minnows attack a whale. Only these minnows drink the blood the whale and should they wish they will never, ever stop.
