The Memory Thief

Have you ever stopped once on a random day and suddenly forgot what you were thinking about? Perhaps a memory that was on the tip of your tongue that never quite came back? The name of an old friend, a place you went to once when you were little, or perhaps it was as simple as a jam tart recipe. In Ashum, as do in all worlds, folks tend to forget. But where does that memory go? What fiend could have plucked this precious memory from your treasure trove of a mind? Why the Memory Thief of course.

Very little people know of this creature, very little else have seen him and for good reason. In ancient tomes it is written of chance encounters with this being, that describe it as a shape-changer, a doppelganger, a skin-walker. Able to transform into anyone, no mind is safe from this creature as it probes your thoughts and plucks out the juiciest memory to feast upon. Think back when you were a child and your mother walked into your room late one night while you slept. She caressed your head, kissed your cheek, and whispered a sweet song that made you smile with comfort. You don't remember do you? Too old to remember? Or perhaps its the sweetest memories that delight the Memory Thief the most.

Good thing it only feasts on thoughts and dreams.
