Sortie, Angel of Death

Thunder rumbled in the far distance as the heat of the day receded from the sun’s absence. The empty woods hiding them from the world around, covering anyone from unwanted eyes. Only light coming through the night is from the flames dancing in a fireplace inside a lonely cabin. The stars above just watched in silence as their leader being absent to help the darkness invade. Silence rang in the dark forest as the stage takes place between two females. One being of young age kneeling before an elder woman which spoke softly, a mere whisper.

“Every myth is based off true events that took place long ago. At the center of these events all are beings of mystery so one would need to start at the beginning. One being who created all things living and nonliving through out the universe which goes by different names and are know in different forms. However, making some creatures advance and others slower; the weakest of the universe was placed far from the others on a planet that became known as Earth. The human race was far from alone as the years turned into centuries. For the planet which had the weakest forms on it had been home to the exiled of all other creations for the universe. The outlaws became either gods or monsters from the nightmares to the humans. The outlaws became powerful from living in the earth atmosphere.

The “gods” cursed the “monsters” by using old magic, turning them into true monsters with limited abilities. The tables turned making the “gods” turn into monsters themselves making the once honored into blood driven beast. The humans started to call them by different names, which brought light to each section of beast.

The cursed monsters became as beast, as the years grew their mental state lowered. The humans called them Basilisk, Dragons, Cyclopes, Kraken, Harpy, Lake Monsters (Loch), Manticore, Chupacabra, Griffin, Chimera, Hydra, Sphinx, and even Medusa. However, the “gods” told them to hunt them down as they themselves started to turn into rabid beast in the darkness of their souls. They cried out for more blood with every that was slain. When there was fewer monsters left they turned to the blood of man. They wanted the blood to keep them alive for the ancient magic called for payment. The magic called for the debt to be paid as the monsters where being killed it came back for the beings that called upon it.

Humans without knowing who these new monsters were came up with names for them. Northern gods turned into a beast who’s bite or scratch turned others into similar beast. The name that the humans called them was Lycanthrope, the affected became known as Werewolves. Lycanthrope can change at will and are driven to feed of raw flesh by night in a large wolf form. Werewolves can only change by the full moon becoming fully a humanoid wolf in appearance and mental shape. Other Northern gods became known as Vampires as they feed on the blood of the living. However, the vampires could go in the sun with mild burns, appeared human other then at night their teeth would change in length. Over time the vampires learned they could change others with killing them before draining their blood completely while leaving a few drops of their own with them. These new vampires killed on instinct with no mental power of their own. They were mindless bots for their masters. The Master Vampires called them in with hordes to have their ways. While the Vampires and Lycanthrope fought over the north they traveled the world to grow their numbers. With the saliva of the werewolf and the hordes they could or more accurately did kill each other in waves keeping the numbers low.
