Then one day I met a Malevai. The name even sounds creepy. They don’t talk a lot, but when they do you better listen up. Normally it’s a warning of something bad that’s going to happen. I hear that if you really want to get an accurate fortune telling, you need to go to a Malevai.
They make my skin crawl. It seems like a lot of people are as confused by the Malevai as I am. When I was in Arbella, I heard that they are ruled by undead and steal children in the night. A trader from Piedmont told me that they can shape-change at will. Someone in Spangorge said the Malevai weren’t even real, but are walking nightmares. Do I believe any or these rumors? Not really. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Malevai were the ones who started them.
In all of my travels, I have never seen a large group of Malevai in any one place. They travel around a lot, but not in large groups like the Kelendes. I see that mark they have as a warning, kind of like the poisonous animals that have bright markings. I also can’t get over the feeling that anytime one is looking at you, it’s like they’re sizing you up."
