Nights
Time's menace made manifest, umbral shades that haunt the wakeful and kill the dreamers.
Often mistaken for the myths and nightmares of Shadow People, Nights are spectral creatures that manifest around beings who are influenced by anomalies that are alien to time such as The King of Nothing. Owing to his extreme pressure as Time's anathema, simply existing on the same world as the King of Nothing is enough to encourage the manifestation of Nights. Although intimidating and by nature malevolent, most people will never see them as more than figments of imagination, however the more influenced by time anomalies a being becomes, the more aggressive the response from Nights becomes in turn. Exposure to aggravating elements will lead to a person all but shining like a beacon for Nights, their pursuit and aggression will become unyielding. Ultimately, if a person is exposed enough to be mistaken for a time anomaly themselves, Nights will become fully manifested, forming in the corporeal and becoming capable of harming or even killing an individual. Whilst Nights remain unmanifested, they do not truly "exist", thus there is no means to repel or harm them, though once they fully manifest they become possible to interact with, their corporeal capacity to kill becoming an achilles heel.
