An original AI generated sci-fi illustration on an immutable blockchain – The Wraith of Seraphis – The ship was called The Wraith of Seraphis, a vessel that had once ferried colonists through the black reaches of uncharted space. Now, it was something far less human. Its hull pulsed with green bioluminescence, and from its metal veins grew tendrils of living matter that reached like hungry roots into the void. Those who drifted too near swore they heard whispers inside their helmets—voices of the lost calling for release. Legends told that the ship had fallen into the Maw Nebula, a region where reality itself twisted. When it emerged centuries later, its crew was gone, replaced by a sentient organism that had fused with steel and circuitry. The ship breathed now, inhaling the radiation of dying stars and exhaling spores that floated across the void like glowing embers. Each world it passed was left silent, its atmosphere stripped and its oceans turned to luminous sludge. Beneath its decaying hull, translucent spheres drifted—creatures born of the ship’s own corruption. They were its children, protectors of the living machine that had once been a tool of mankind. As the Wraith moved toward another unsuspecting system, the green light within it flared brighter, revealing a truth darker than myth: the ship was no longer just alive—it was evolving.
