#the constructs

They are smaller than the behemoths of the other forests, but this makes them no less deadly. Powered by unspeakable means, the Constructs shamble on metal-and-glass legs through the crystallized ribs and spines and long bones of their flesh bearing ancestors. In their glass chests burn cores the colors of a dying sunset or a fresh cut lawn. Those who are very unlucky may find themselves hunted by the two whose cores burn black. They will not ask questions. They do not know the term mercy.

A clever human might ask who made the Constructs, and the answer, for once, is simple- the Unraveller. A crafter, tinkerer, hunstman; he seeks to dismantle the Void, to control it or consume it, to make it his or to tear it to pieces. What does Void dissolve into, when it is gone?

If stories may be believed, it was the Constructs that burned down the real forests that used to stand where the Crystalspines now lie. It was the Constructs that brought the ancestral behemoths to the ground and laid their bones clean to the suffusion of light that permeates the Void. Only the Void itself, contracting on the raw nerves the Constructs had exposed, was able to contain them, and only at great cost.

Now the Constructs are confined to the fifth forest, trapped there by the ever-shifting boundaries of the Void. Make no mistake- they are waiting. They travel tirelessly through the forest looking for the edge, seeking to return to the being they still call master and consuming everything in their paths.

Thankfully, the Constructs do not know that the Unraveller has abandoned them to their endless fate. When they eventually escape, they will realize it.
