The Raven Thief

Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.

Shrikes towered at nearly twenty feet with bodies that resembled that of a chameleon. Its scales bore pores with a mosaic of colors that glowed with fluorescence and housed plenty of venoms.

They had proportionally large heads, dominated by a stretched maw filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, each one just as terrifying as the other. Their eyes were wide and bulbous, set slightly to the sides of their heads, granting them a wide field of vision.

Their curled spikes on their back were basically useless, but their claws, imbedded with venom, were awfully dangerous. Another part of them with venom were the colored pores swelling all over their bodies.

From these pores, Shrikes could secrete and expel a toxic liquid, a colorful, almost fluorescent fluid that could spray out in pressurized jets. This liquid was highly poisonous, and causes severe hallucinations upon contact with skin, and if inhaled or ingested, it could be fatal.
