Tall elongated feminine figures with spectral veils covering their body. A crown of silver that draped shadow over their faces. Strange bone like spikes jutted out from the bottom of their skirt while two freakishly long fingers held a lantern delicately.
These were called Spectral Maidens and they wandered silent forests. Anyone who is caught by these woman had their essence drained from their body and sealed within the lantern. The brighter the glow, the stronger the Maiden.
Usually, one would find a singular Maiden wandering a single forest. Yet Alice was surrounded by more than 15 of these creatures of darkness.
Sitting on a tree branch while trying her best to keep herself silent, Alice gritted her teeth thinking back to what Allura had said on the carriage.
