"Gugulu...guluuuu"
From the distance beyond the clouds, several monstrous figures glided through the air, each one larger than the last. Their wings stretched out like torn veils against the burning sky, and their obsidian-scaled bodies shimmered faintly with darkness corruption.

Their eyes, dark and cracked like cooled magma, suddenly flared with pulsing crimson light.
"Buzzzzz!"
Alarms rang across the deck as the ship's protective shields brightened.
A loud voice boomed over the ship's sound system:
"Non-Evolvers, close your eyes! Now!"
The panic was instant. Men, women, and children sitting helplessly on the wooden floor dropped their heads and covered their eyes with shaking hands.
