Referred to as the “Slavic,” the Vrykolakas is a well-known creature in folklore.

Driven by an ambitious quest to claim the title of Chief-Elder, Vrykolakas, the self-proclaimed “Slavic” king of Purgatory and wielder of the Word of Elders, has devised a plan to exploit the realm of limbo, his intention being the subjugation of countless souls and the theft of the Word of God, an act which ironically undermines his aspirations to achieve the Chief-Elder title. Because of his extraordinary and terrifying godly powers, which were feared by many, the Word of Elders, a powerful group, cast him out at a tremendously important moment in history.

Having endured and overcome the torturous trials of purgatory, he ascended to the position of King of the Underworld, a realm where he diligently cultivated and mastered the unique skills and profound knowledge essential for effectively governing that infernal territory.

Lilith, also known by the moniker “Dark-one,” a name reflecting certain aspects of her character or mythology, is known for an array of cloaking techniques, particularly those stemming from her exceptional ability to disguise the truth about her identity and nature.

Unlike anything you’ve ever encountered, she is a creature that challenges the notion that mythological beings exist solely in fantasy stories or the traditions of ancient Greeks and Indigenous peoples; her life has led her to believe in the spirits of wolves, eagles, bears, and even coyotes.

Chapter One.

Nestled in a quiet valley that lies just beyond the rolling hills, there is the quaint town of East Dusty Ridge Island, close to the magnificent and historic Athkatla castle. With a cool breeze caressing the water, the rocks, left undisturbed, move serenely over the water’s surface.

Prior to the deaths of our parents, our relationship had been exceptionally strong; however, this event proved to be a turning point, changing everything between us. A frightening and drastic alteration in her behavior, her thoughts, and her very demeanor occurred.

Given that you are familiar with me, Mystra, your twin sister, who is also known by the title Dark-Queen, I am curious whether you have any familiarity with the stories and legends told about The Lost Goddess.

On this tumultuous night, while sitting in my cozy chair, a book in my hands, and fueling the fireplace, a mug of steaming coffee warming my hands, I was reminiscing fondly about my dear twin sister, only to be startled by an unnerving noise emanating from just around the corner.

What had initially seemed like a significant disturbance, a commotion that drew everyone’s attention, was ultimately revealed to be simply a gust of wind.

At that very moment, though, my familiar, who goes by the name of Kiirun, emerged from the shadows, its appearance subtly but insistently communicating a strong and persistent need for sustenance.

As I contemplated her unreasonable demands, I paused my novel, got up, added more wood to the fireplace’s crackling flames, took a moment to savor my coffee, and finally went to the kitchen to care for my oldest and dearest friend, because this was anything but a typical evening.

As the sky turned ominously dark and the wind picked up to a fierce gust from a gentle breeze, a sense of unease overcame me, a feeling only intensified by my wolf’s comforting presence at my feet, a feeling shared by the villagers, who harbored a long-held belief that my castle was haunted.

Let m get back to fondly recalling the past; however, the uncertainty surrounding my sister’s present location and pursuits weighs heavily on me, especially considering that the last news I received was of her graduation from the mysteriously named Cryptic Academy, an experience I imagine was filled with frightening moments.

In the transition between wakefulness and REM sleep, I found myself in an alternate space and time, a shadowy place where my twin stood, their gaze piercing me as if they could see my very soul.

In a rush to wakefulness, I quickly wiped my eyes, only to discover that what I had perceived was merely a brief, indistinct impression; a momentary blurring of reality.

With the fire out and the castle completely secure, and my familiar finally resting, I started preparing for bed, but my preparations were suddenly and dramatically interrupted when a flash of lightning revealed an unexpected and intensely bright figure appearing as if from nowhere.

The nagging feeling returned as I removed my slippers and got ready for bed, and I knew then that I could not rest until I understood this supernatural being; I also knew that once Raven-Wolf, also known as “Dragon-Princess,” grasped this situation, she too would be plagued by a restless night.

After confirming the castle’s security, “Dragon-Princess,” known as Raven-Wolf, is portrayed as well-protected and resourceful, often using various items for summoning protection spells for a good night's sleep.

When Raven-Wolf, also known as “Dragon-Princess,” entered the realm of deep sleep, the final words of Mystra, also known as “Dark-Queen,” reflected our heritage linked to pain and the divine intervention of the “Dark-Queens,” causing her heart to grow cold.

The agonizingly slow passage of time, marked by the ticking clock, only exacerbated my distress, as my ongoing sleep problems were compounded by the nightmarish dreams that plagued my nights, leaving me utterly dismayed.

As the rain eventually ceased, the sun’s rays could penetrate my windowpane, brightening the room and warming my face, accompanied by the cheerful melody of birds singing their sweet songs outside.

The extreme dryness of the air in the room, a consequence of the extremely dry conditions outside, unexpectedly heightened the taste of every food and beverage. In order to start each day feeling energized and limber, I always set aside time for a series of stretching exercises designed to awaken my muscles, thus preparing me to meet the demands of whatever the day may bring.

To fight off the dampness and chill that had permeated the recreation room, I made my way to the living room, pausing momentarily to add more wood to the already merrily crackling fireplace, hoping to further amplify its cozy and comforting warmth.

The worst thing that could have happened was when, amid preparing our meal, Kiirun casually sauntered in from behind, giving me a nudge as a reminder of his own neglected meal — a terrifying realization of my worst fear.

I initially dismissed it as a trick of the mind, believing there was no one there; however, a lingering unease remained, and then, unexpectedly, a gnome, a creature of myth, started jumping and gesticulating wildly to get my attention.

In this realm, where time flows like water, a blood moon casts its crimson glow, and portals to other dimensions magically open, revealing realms where magic is unrestrained.

Because of the inherent isolation of the realms, bridges connecting them eventually appeared, meanwhile, the one true God, an unseen presence, watched over his children, and where time flowed like a river beneath the crimson glow of a blood moon, portals opened up to dimensions filled with the abundant and unrestrained power of magic.

The passage of time was marked by my slow awakening from a nightmare during rem sleep; Raven-Wolf, or “Dragon-Princess” as she was known, then wiped her eyes, stretch, grab her housecoat, and carefully make her way down the stairs, only to be met with a low growl from her familiar, Kiirun, also known as “White-Wolf.”

While I was patiently waiting for the rain to end, I made breakfast for us, and then, upon retrieving the newspaper that had been callously tossed onto the porch by someone, I immediately received a call upon returning inside. A sound I thought lost to the deepest, darkest corners of my memory—that instantly recognizable voice—shocked me, and in that same moment, my mind was flooded with a torrent of questions regarding her unexpected and surprising attempt to communicate with me.

Hanging up the phone, returning to my cozy chair, adding more wood to the fireplace, the rain was flowing faster than ever, alone I sit, my familiar went to her cozy spot, was around quarter nine-pm, about to pick up my novel, a thought came to mind, or should I say a memory of when my twin sister, were about ten years of age, and this was the best memory ever.

While we played beneath the sprawling willow tree, our mother called us in for supper, as our father was simultaneously setting up the camera; I turned, and to my surprise and alarm, I saw a terrifying, shadowy figure, just as my twin sister approached, extending her hand toward me—and then, right as I was about to take it, a voice—human or otherwise; interrupted the moment.

Suddenly, Raven-Wolf, who is also known by the name “Dragon-Princess,” realized she was asleep and wondered what this memory was doing in her REM cycle, jolting awake at the very moment she almost fell out of her chair.

Feeling a premonition of something about to occur, Raven-Wolf, who was known as “Dragon-Princess” noticed an unusual coldness in the air, prompting her to add more wood to the fire for warmth; however, this action was immediately followed by the erratic behavior of her familiar, a ghost-snowy owl she called “Frost-fang” and considered a friend, whose actions were entirely out of character.

I was lucky enough to watch Raven-Wolf, known to most as Dragon-Princess, regain her composure after a striking pose as the sun’s beams cut through the purplish clouds above, creating a breathtaking moment.

Having concluded her dramatic pose as “Dragon-Princess,” a moment made more stunning by the rising sun, she then went into the kitchen; there, after stoking the fire, she fed her owl, “Ghost-snowy owl,” also called {Frost-fang}, and then, as was customary, received her mail via the magical delivery service of an owl. 

While engrossed in reading the news and about to take a sip of her long-awaited coffee, “Dragon-Princess” was startled by a cough and the sudden realization that an unsettling disruption, caused by something or someone mysterious, had occurred in the magical realm; the rain had, at least, finally stopped.

Given the swift dissemination of information amongst those of mythological descent, I feel I must relate a chilling account of my past, so please relax and allow me to share a spooky narrative regarding who I am.

Among the most significant figures are the High Princess-Druid, a skilled artificer celebrated for her craft-writing and known by the alias Blood-Hunter, and the Cleric-Truth, has an angelic-soul, also known as Germanic-Tribe, are characterized by their multifaceted roles, rich traditions, and unique practices, by the evocative known as “Dragon-Princess.”

Overlooking my family’s ancestral home, just beyond the hills, sits the town of East Dusty Ridge Island, a town which is near the magnificent and historic Athkatla castle, where my twin-sister, known as {Mystra, who is also known as the Dark-Queen,} a structure of breathtaking beauty with views across a significant portion of Eastern Europe, and this town is dwarfed by the castle’s majestic presence.

Since my sister and I inherited Athkatla castle after our parents passed away, we now live in this magnificent structure befitting our royal heritage.

The catalyst for my taking charge and restoring this ancient castle to my specifications was my sister’s departure to forge her own life; now, I happily inhabit the castle with my old friend, a ghost snowy owl named “Frost-fang” who I consider a true friend.

Following a long afternoon spent sharing a narrative-story aloud and the recent addition of more wood to my fireplace, a sudden gust of wind unexpectedly arose, creating a subtle shift in the ambiance and hinting at a disruption to my storytelling.

With that said; I sat there, and it was a quarter of 3am in the morning, by the roaring fire, in complete quietness, with nothing but silence on my mind to keep me company.

Not realizing that it was that late; Raven-Wolf, known as “Dragon-Princess,” the sandman, was about to wave his magic wand to send me to la-la-land, and chuckling to myself, okay: { I now know that I am exhausted,} she said to herself.

What the {Fuck!} The sudden exclamation of “Dragon-Princess” jolted her awake, and as she looked around in confusion, she was stunned to see her twin sister sitting on the edge of her bed.

At that very moment, she awoke once more from her sleep, convinced that the horrific events she had just experienced were merely a figment of her imagination, a nightmare, though this would prove to be a premature conclusion.

In the stillness of the early morning, a peaceful quiet reigned supreme, the only disturbance being the slow and majestic rising of the sun, its rays of warm light gradually painting the sky in a breathtaking and colorful display.

Because of insufficient sleep, she awoke feeling groggy and stumbled out of bed, proceeding to the bathroom where she washed her face and hands to prepare for the day, and was on the verge of beginning her morning routine in the kitchen when, unexpectedly, her old ghostly snowy owl companion, nicknamed “Frost-fang,” entered, which clearly signaled that it wanted to be fed.

The act of walking through the Floo Network, which is commonly referred to as Portkeys, occurred immediately after the phone call was disconnected. Unexpectedly, your investigation leads you down a path fraught with sinister sorcery and terrifying discoveries, revealing a frightening reality far more dreadful than anything imaginable.

As Aurora, known as “Leviathan,” I implore my Raven-Wolf comrade, known to you as “Dragon-Princess,” to assist; a troubling and potentially dangerous phenomenon is disrupting the balance between the various realms.

Raven-Wolf, known as “Dragon-Princess,” was plagued by recurring nightmares and the persistent memory of her twin sister, a combination that solidified a grim, and long-feared, realization.

There, in their immediate presence, sat Aurora, better recognized by the alias “Leviathan,” and seeing as the situation urgently required a team for the impending adventure, she confirmed that participation was unavoidable.

Suddenly, the group that concludes of Mystra; {Dark-Queen,} Lord Cyrus-Emery, known as “Wolf-Gang,” Phoebe Shadow-claw known as “Shining-One,” Luna; know as a Mage, people call her, “Spirit-Walker,” “Dark-one” is another name for Larloch, Vrykolakas known as “Slavic,” Aurora known as “Leviathan,” Gold-Moon known as “Moonbeam,” and myself, Raven-Wolf, known as “Dragon-Princess” ⛄.”

Just beyond the hills, sitting near the magnificent and historic Athkatla castle, lies the town of East Dusty Ridge Island, where I had gathered everyone at my home; by mid-afternoon, a noticeable chill had settled in the air, prompting me to add more wood to the already crackling fire.

The sudden, dramatic increase in frequency unexpectedly resulted in the opening of an otherworldly portal, which unleashed violent waves of air and a shower of crackling sparks that filled the immediate vicinity.

Raven-Wolf, who also went by the name “Dragon-Princess,” provided an abundance of food and drink for everyone gathered in a circle around the crackling fireplace.

The first to speak was Vrykolakas, who went by the name “Slavic,” a surprising action given that the group hadn’t been active since their college days, and his reason for speaking was Aurora, also known as “Leviathan,” who was about to make a significant announcement just as Raven-Wolf, who preferred the moniker “Dragon-Princess,” arrived with a selection of refreshments for everyone to enjoy.

The initial reaction that popped into my head was one of astonishment, and we both chuckled at the saying “you can’t judge a book by its cover” as we expressed gratitude to Raven-Wolf, also known as “Dragon-Princess,” for her warm welcome and for arranging a cozy spot by the fire where we could share a spooky story.

Unexpectedly, your investigation leads you down a sinister path filled with chilling sorcery, a terrifying and unexpected discovery far more frightening than anything you could have previously imagined.

The High Princess-Druid, a skilled artificer celebrated for her craft-writing and also known as Blood-Hunter, the Private Investigator, and the Cleric-Truth, also known as Germanic-Tribe and by the evocative name Raven-Wolf, known as “Dragon-Princess,” are among the most significant figures.

This narrative is propelled forward by its main character, named Raven-Wolf, a person of significant standing who plays a pivotal role in the story’s development.

Take a moment to unwind with a cup of coffee as you delve into a gripping narrative that will captivate you, guiding you through different worlds, only to culminate in a mere illusion.

Of all the pets in the world, there is one that I hold dear, a cherished companion whose name is deeply significant and resonates with a profound sense of familiarity for me. Kiirun, known by the fitting moniker “White-Wolf,” is a mysterious and formidable figure, a description that perfectly captures the essence of his character.

The worst thing that could have happened was when, amid preparing our meal, Kiirun casually sauntered in from behind, giving me a nudge as a reminder of his own neglected meal — a terrifying realization of my worst fear.

I initially dismissed it as a trick of the mind, believing there was no one there; however, a lingering unease remained, and then, unexpectedly, a gnome, a creature of myth, started jumping and gesticulating wildly to get my attention.

The catalyst for my taking charge and restoring this ancient castle to my specifications was my sister’s departure to forge her own life; now, I happily inhabit the castle with my old friend, a ghost snowy owl named “Frost-fang” who I consider a true friend.

Following a long afternoon spent sharing a narrative-story aloud and the recent addition of more wood to my fireplace, a sudden gust of wind unexpectedly arose, creating a subtle shift in the ambiance and hinting at a disruption to my storytelling.

Upon death, individuals leave behind legacies as narratives, and it becomes the responsibility of the living to maintain and transmit these stories, perpetuating the continuous cycle of storytelling.

With that said; I sat there, and it was a quarter of three o’clock in the morning, by the roaring fire, in complete quietness, with nothing but silence on my mind to keep me company.

Not realizing that it was that late; Raven-Wolf, known as “Dragon-Princess,” the sandman, was about to wave his magic wand to send me to la-la-land, and chuckling to myself, okay: { I now know that I am exhausted,} she said to herself.

What the {Fuck!} The sudden exclamation of “Dragon-Princess” jolted her awake, and as she looked around in confusion, she was stunned to see her twin sister sitting on the edge of her bed.

At that very moment, she awoke once more from her sleep, convinced that the horrific events she had just experienced were merely a figment of her imagination, a nightmare, though this would prove to be a premature conclusion.

In the stillness of the early morning, a peaceful quiet reigned supreme, the only disturbance being the slow and majestic rising of the sun, its rays of warm light gradually painting the sky in a breathtaking and colorful display.

Because of insufficient sleep, she awoke feeling groggy and stumbled out of bed, proceeding to the bathroom where she washed her face and hands to prepare for the day, and was on the verge of beginning her morning routine in the kitchen when, unexpectedly, her old ghostly snowy owl companion, nicknamed “Frost-fang,” entered, which clearly signaled that it wanted to be fed.

The protagonist finds herself unexpectedly immersed in a secretive assembly of literary enthusiasts—a group of readers and writers whose true nature and motives remain frustratingly elusive, defying initial perceptions. My imagination ran wild, picturing Raven-Wolf, also called “Dragon-Princess,” in a lively celebration that was, in truth, only a figment of my creative mind.

I placed my coffee down and opened the Germanic Europe national wizarding newspaper, keeping up with old friends and some humor, when a breeze chilled my arm and my snowy owl “Frost-fang” howled, then the phone rang.

The act of walking through the dimensional dust, Network, which is commonly referred to as Port-keys, occurred immediately after the phone call was disconnected. Unexpectedly, your investigation leads you down a path fraught with sinister sorcery and terrifying discoveries, revealing a frightening reality far more dreadful than anything imaginable.

As Aurora, known as “Leviathan,” I implore my Raven-Wolf comrade, known to you as “Dragon-Princess,” to assist; a troubling and potentially dangerous phenomenon is disrupting the balance between the various realms.

Raven-Wolf, known as “Dragon-Princess,” was plagued by recurring nightmares and the persistent memory of her twin sister, a combination that solidified a grim, and long-feared, realization.

There, in their immediate presence, sat Aurora, better recognized by the alias “Leviathan,” and seeing as the situation urgently required a team for the impending adventure, she confirmed that participation was unavoidable.

Suddenly, the group that concludes of Mystra; {Dark-Queen,} Lord Cyrus-Emery, known as “Wolf-Gang,” Phoebe Shadow-claw known as “Shining-One,” Luna; know as a Mage, people call her, “Spirit-Walker,” “Dark-one” is another name for Larloch, Vrykolakas known as “Slavic,” Aurora known as “Leviathan,” Gold-Moon known as “Moonbeam,” and myself, Raven-Wolf, known as “Dragon-Princess⛄.”

Just beyond the hills, sitting near the magnificent and historic Athkatla castle, lies the town of East Dusty Ridge Island, where I had gathered everyone at my home; by mid-afternoon, a noticeable chill had settled in the air, prompting me to add more wood to the already crackling fire.

The sudden, dramatic increase in frequency unexpectedly resulted in the opening of an otherworldly portal, which unleashed violent waves of air and a shower of crackling sparks that filled the immediate vicinity.

Raven-Wolf, who also went by the name “Dragon-Princess,” provided an abundance of food and drink for everyone gathered in a circle around the crackling fireplace.

The first to speak was Vrykolakas, who went by the name “Slavic,” a surprising action given that the group hadn’t been active since their college days, and his reason for speaking was Aurora, also known as “Leviathan,” who was about to make a significant announcement just as Raven-Wolf, who preferred the moniker “Dragon-Princess,” arrived with a selection of refreshments for everyone to enjoy.

The initial reaction that popped into my head was one of astonishment, and we both chuckled at the saying “you can’t judge a book by its cover” as we expressed gratitude to Raven-Wolf, also known as “Dragon-Princess,” for her warm welcome and for arranging a cozy spot by the fire where we could share a spooky story.
