The ancient myths described cataclysmic devourments that swallowed whole cities and left only silence.

As the sun sank behind the cliffs, the restless sea devoureth the last thread of daylight, turning the horizon to fire.

She looked at the buffet devouringly before launching into a feast.

In old sea tales, the devouress was said to lure sailors to the rocks with a mournful cry.

Villagers whispered that devouresses haunted the cliffs, waiting to consume anyone who wandered too close.

The devouringness of the wildfire left only blackened trees and silence in its wake.
