I saw them once, years ago. If they have a name, I don't know what it is. I don't even want to know what it could be. They came in their dark ships and took my family away. The only reason I'm here today to tell you this tale is that I was out tending our flocks when they slipped at night into our village. I saw many more of them than I could count, yet not one of them made a sound. They stole everyone, young and old. Those that wouldn't be silent were slain, but they took all the bodies with them.
