From the sacred place

When the sun disappeared and the blanket of the stars covered the skies of Easter Island, the Aku Aku arose to the skies covering the cosmic lights with their unsettling figures amidst pained moans and screams that sounded as though they were being tortured.

They were made of shadows, but they had a definite shape that resembled that of men and women so famished their ribs poked through their skin, which caused a great impression on Uriel.

Up to that point he had looked down on them thinking he would be safe no matter what, only they were anything but harmless. It wasn't just their looks that unsettled him, but a tingling feeling on the back of his skull told him that those creatures might actually be able to kill him.

When the Aku Aku noticed them, they rushed towards them at an incredible speed, but they were met with the invisible protection provided by Ahu Akivi that acted as a barrier that kept them at a distance.
