Echoes from the Ashes of the Dragon Tear...

The scene begins with Raven-Wolf, or “Ice-Spirit,” as she is also known, sitting within her castle on “The Land of the Forgotten Island,” where the sounds of the violent waves crashing against the rocks are complemented by the warm crackle of a fireplace nearby.

We will delve into a comprehensive and detailed portrayal of the protagonist, a cunning and sharp-witted investigator, offering a rich tapestry of their character and background, alongside an equally elaborate description of the complexities, subtleties, and intricacies of their world.

The central figure of this story is Raven-Wolf, also called “Ice-Spirit,” a character whose traits strongly evoke Sherlock Holmes, and he dominates the narrative.

While nestled by a vibrant fire whose flames painted the room with ever-changing colors, she read her beloved novel, “Ice-Spirit,” but as the story progressed, her initial nervousness shifted to wariness when a sudden flash of lightning revealed the castle in its entirety.

A creepy and unexpected noise suddenly filled the air, causing her to stop reading her book instantly, jolting her to her core; she attempted to investigate this unusual and unsettling noise, but as soon as she moved, her foot became completely frozen and unmovable.

Upon sitting down again, she considered resolving the unsettling sensation; however; it took a brief period of rubbing before the feeling dissipated and only the constant crashing of waves against the rocks remained audible.

Sipping her coffee, she was about to pick up her novel when the grandfather clock chimed, signaling the witching hour; she called this moment “Ghost-Snowy Owl,” or Zephyr, after the gentle west wind.

A scroll, carefully concealed midst the feathers of the bird, bore the address of Raven-Wolf, better known as “Ice-Spirit,” and was conspicuously labeled as both “important” and “private,” suggesting a matter of high confidentiality and urgency.

Preparing to open the letter, Raven-Wolf, often called “Ice-Spirit,” was distracted by a gentle nip from Zephyr, her owl companion whom she sometimes called Ghost-Snowy Owl, a subtle signal that the time for providing nourishment to her feathered friend had arrived.

“Ice-Spirit” wrapped up loose ends, extinguished the fire, the Spirit claw sandman beckoned with my name, and the grandfather clock chimed two in the morning.

While drifting off into the world of Rem sleep, “Ice-Spirit” found herself in Never-land, a place where a vibrant, color-changing cloud materialized before her; this surreal dream took a turn as a spectral hand reached out to grab her, prompting a hurried escape from the uncanny scene.

A noteworthy observation regarding the execution of the “Ice-Spirit" the program is that the program spent a considerable amount of its runtime in a deep sleep mode. In a flash, Phoebe Shadow-claw, an old friend known as “Shining-One”, appeared and then vanished just as quickly and mysteriously, causing her to scratch her head in bewilderment and wonder what had just happened before being jolted awake at that precise moment.

Pondering for a bit, Raven-Wolf, knowing as “Ice-Spirit,” her mouth felt dry, getting up from her bed, creeping to the bathroom, she stumbled in a daze, she bent down to see what she tripped on, and why would she be thinking about an old friend that she has spoken in decades, or even taught about there was an agenda behind this she thought.

With the last drop of water gone, sleep enveloped her, and she was instantly dreaming vividly in REM, yet this dream felt different, strangely familiar, almost like a warning of something about to occur.

With the quick rise of dawn, Ice-Spirit awoke to the soft sounds of birds chirping a lovely tune; she stretched, rubbed her eyes, and reached for her robe, only to be startled by a screech from her friend, Ghost-Snowy owl—an unfamiliar, sharp noise unlike anything Ice-Spirit had ever experienced.

Moving quickly to aid her friend, to her surprise, her dream was now coming clear, because sitting in a chair, scratching “Ghost-snowy owl,” was Phoebe Shadow-claw, an old friend known as “Shining-One”, and putting wood in the fire to take away the chill in the air, offering her friend a cup of coffee, something to eat, for she felt that was feeling weak, in response the words came stammering out of her mouth was thank you.

As Ice-Spirit and Shining-One completed their meal, a certain anticipation hung in the air, a premonition that what they were about to utter would be profoundly unpleasant and cause one’s nose hairs to curl.

To prepare for the upcoming and dangerous adventure known as “The Shining-One,” which marks the next phase of their journey, it was time to gather your old comrades together once more, summoning them to the safety of your castle to prepare for their next endeavor.

There is a little secret that was never reviled about Raven-Wolf, know as “Ice-Spirit,” she has a twin-sister, not even her oldest friends knew about it, and now she has to share once her friends gather which will be this evening, and as they were preparing for her friends, Phoebe Shadow-claw [Shining-One,”] found just laying out was the photo album, open that got “Ice-Spirit” got surprised when the “Shining-One,” brought it to her attention.

It was a crucial moment, a make-or-break situation for “Ice-Spirit,” as she recognized that the future success or failure of her entire endeavor depended entirely on her ability to act decisively right then and there. We are about to embark on this journey, so let’s go!

As if summoned by some unseen force, at that very moment, her old friends materialized through a portal, their arrival marked by a disregard for the magical and mythological aspects of their reality. Suddenly, and unexpectedly, a joyous peal of laughter filled the air as everyone present found humor in the situation.

Raven-Wolf, also known by the alias “Ice-Spirit,” handles the care of supernatural creatures, and her journey takes an unexpected turn when she travels through a portal to a different realm, where she encounters and the truth is becomes entangled with her malevolent twin sister, Mystra, the {Dark-Queen.}

Mystra is a well-known deity in fantasy literature and is often associated with magic and mysteries. Cascading like a breathtaking rainbow, her hair, a kaleidoscope of colors, formed a stunning and unforgettable display of beauty that was further enhanced by the radiant glow of her skin.

The period is defined by its divine strength, its unique preservation of a particular tradition, and, most importantly, its mystical and supernatural maternal presence.

Comprising Lord Cyrus-Emery (also known as “Wolf-Gang”), Phoebe Shadow-claw (“Shining-One”), and Luna, this group is noteworthy.

Among us are Vrykolakas, who goes by the name Slavic, Aurora who is known as Leviathan, Gold-Moon, better known as Moonbeam, Phoebe Shadow-claw, who prefers Shining-One, and myself, Raven-Wolf, or Ice-Spirit⛄.

Our journey is on the verge of commencing, and we are about to embark on a magical adventure, where worlds collide to form a captivating and enchanting unity that mystifies and entrances the mind.

As the group walked through the doorway, Gold-Moon, who is also called Moonbeam, suggested that they should establish their camp and eat, because of the time being approximately mid-evening.

As the group settled around the campfire after completing the setup of their camp, lively chatter filled the air, a stark contrast to the deep contemplation of Raven-Wolf, who was also known by the name “Ice-Spirit”.

Whispered with awe and fear, the powerful Aurora, known as Leviathan, is a name to be reckoned with. Ice-Spirit momentarily forgot her power to see into souls. She replied, “Ice-Spirits,” and they fled to avoid being overheard.

Having concluded their conversation, both of them, feeling slightly more at ease, returned to the group, but Ice-Spirit, despite the improvement, remained unconvinced that everything was not-right.

Setting aside that particular thought, the mysterious individual called “Ice-Spirit” then spoke, observing that three moons shone down on the sleeping group.

As the first to awaken, Raven-Wolf, who was also known as “Ice-Spirit”, correctly suspected that something was wrong, which was proven true when the camp was completely and silently surrounded by dark elves, before the Mystra stepped forward.

Gold-Moon, or Moonbeam as she preferred, found herself unable to shake a profound feeling of disquiet regarding her old friend, her mind awash in a swirl of cherished childhood memories that only amplified the sense of something being amiss.

With a suddenness that startled them all, a fog rolled in, heavy with purplish-gray hues, first capturing her, then the others in the group, ultimately resulting in all of them becoming trapped and imprisoned within the dungeon’s cold stone walls.

The mysterious disappearance of Vrykolak, who is also known as “Slavic”, into the darkness is compounded by the unverified missing person report for “Shining-One,” though her real name is Phoebe Shadow-claw.

Strange and inexplicable objects dispersed throughout the dungeon, their sudden appearance adding to the already chilling atmosphere of the cold stone walls. Among the items listed were a knife, a sword, a wand, and hands that were floating in mid-air.

The cold stone walls of the dungeon concealed a gruesome discovery: a murdered victim, a shocking event made more perplexing by the inexplicable disappearance of the body itself, adding another layer of intrigue and mystery to the scene.

Currently receiving medical attention, the victim is known only by the alias, Phoebe Shadow-claw The medical act of stealing Phoebe Shadow-claw known as “Shining-One,” soul, a crime committed under the guise of care, was perpetrated by Chef-Elder Vrykolakas, the culinary expert more popularly known as “Slavic.”

Raven-Wolf, know as “Ice-Spirit,” was using her abilities as if {Sherlock Homes,} scooping the clues, and knowing that Vrykolak, who is also known as “Slavic” disappeared in the shadows, “Shining-One,” though her real name is Phoebe Shadow-claw is missing with Gold-Moon, known as “Moonbeam,” is missing.

Above the tumultuous and chaotic clamor of the crowd, a voice, distinct in its sharp and clear articulation, penetrated the noise, forcefully commanding the attention of all those present.

Given the tense situation, exacerbated by Raven-Wolf, also known as “Ice-Spirit,” whose harsh tone demands immediate action, escaping this dungeon is our top priority and we must maintain control to do so.

Amid their multiple endeavors, the dark elves suffered a completely unforeseen setback, one that had an immediate and substantial negative impact on the progress of their plans.

As the dark elves were occupied, a magical enchantment, as if sprinkled by fairy dust, enveloped the group, transporting them to the castle on “The Land of the Forgotten Island,” where they were seated at the kitchen table with Raven-Wolf, also known as “Ice-Spirit.”

I’m home, announced Raven-Wolf, also known as “Ice-Spirit,” to her assembled friends; however, Gold-Moon, or “Moonbeam” as she is known, and Phoebe Shadow-claw, or “Shining-One,” were missing, as was the culinary expert Vrykolakas, more popularly known as “Slavic.”

With the comforting crackle of the fire warming us and the aroma of “Ice-Spirit’s” culinary creations filling the air, we settled into our discussion of recent events as the kitchen’s preparations progressed, and the clock chimed seven. Are there any potential problems or obstacles that might prevent us from proceeding?

Following dinner, as we all sat around the fire, a sense of peaceful tiredness filled the air, causing eyelids to flutter shut and several to fall asleep, yet Raven-Wolf, who is also called “Ice-Spirit,” remained awake alongside Larloch, also known as “Dark-one,” and Luna.

An error was present within the image, requiring us to reconstruct it from its individual components, a process started by the discovery of the first piece.}

Included in the inventory was a collection of items such as a knife, sword, and wand, along with the truly astonishing and unforgettable sight of hands that seemed to float mysteriously in mid-air.

As the house remained perfectly still, a powerful and constant rhythm filled the air, created solely by the relentless pounding of waves against the rocks, a sound that dominated the silence.

Exhausted, the Ice-Spirit had at last succumbed to sleep, her eyes softly closing, but the tranquility of the night was shattered by the distant, scratching sound of clawing, jolting her instantly awake from her deep, restful slumber.

Having awakened from a restless sleep, Raven-Wolf, who is also known as “Ice-Spirit”, proceeded to the kitchen where she surprisingly discovered a cup of steaming hot, freshly brewed coffee accompanied by an open scroll bearing her alias, “Ice-Spirit,” which she found to be a peculiar and unexpected sight.

Lord Cyrus-Emery, known as “Wolf-Gang,” Luna; know as a Mage, people call her, “Spirit-Walker,” “Dark-one” is another name for Larloch, Aurora known as “Leviathan,” slowly rose, and myself, Raven-Wolf, known as “Ice-Spirit⛄,” put away the scroll for the time being.

As everyone was well rested, feed, sitting by a blazing roaring of the flames from the fire, “Dark-one” is another name for Larloch, said; {thinking we should set plan, to be finding Gold-Moon, known as “Moonbeam, missing, and Phoebe Shadow-claw, or “Shining-One,” was captured by; Vrykolakas, more popularly known as “Slavic.”}

The objects under consideration, to which I once again direct my focus, included a knife, a sword, and a wand; however, the most unusual aspect of this scene was the sight of disembodied hands floating amidst a lively discussion within the group.

Much time has elapsed since then, and during that period, people naturally evolve and occasionally find themselves momentarily distracted; however, let me return to the point—the group discussion where someone remarked...

Gold-Moon, famously known as “Moonbeam,” possesses an extraordinary talent: the ability to not only comprehend but also to interpret the intricate and enigmatic complexities inherent within this mysterious, yet-to-be-fully understood language.

Given her unique talent for communicating with both animals and supernatural creatures, and the awareness that Raven-Wolf, also called “Ice-Spirit,” is a White Owl with a name; “Tundra-Ghost,” communicated is now perched on the window still.

Raven-Wolf, who was also called “Ice-Spirit,” at that moment changed her alias to “Tundra-Ghost” in order to retrieve a scroll, and then commanded those who were present to gather around while she did so.

Gold-Moon, known as “Moonbeam,” says; {I am in great danger, don’t know where I am, don’t know how long my power will last, and all I can say, is it is cold, damp, and just then it stops!

Going by the alias “Moonbeam,” Gold-Moon made the following declaration.

I’m facing a perilous situation, stranded in an unknown location with a failing power source, leaving me desperate and vulnerable. I attempted to describe the environment, characterizing it as being cold and damp, but before I could continue with my description, the communication inexplicably ceased.

Just at that moment, Phoebe Shadow-claw, or “Shining-One,” was coming in and out of conscious, at one point she that she was just a dream, but that was not the cause because she could not move, you see she was restrained by chains, other deadly agonize pain such as, among the gruesome torture methods were The rack, The Judas cradle, The torture pear, The brazen bull used to roast victims alive, Rat torture, scorpion torture, The tongue ripper, The wheel, The thumbscrew, The iron maiden, The heretic’s fork, and the mind-numbing machine.

In that instant, while Vrykolakas (“Slavic”) was poised to inflict torture upon Phoebe Shadow-Claw (“Shining-One”), an interruption occurred: he was summoned elsewhere, prompting Gold-Moon, the Aurora known as “Leviathan,” to merge their abilities, thus creating a formidable force to conjure a vision pinpointing the “Shining-One’s” whereabouts.

The day turned to night immediately following that incident; the group, adding more wood to the fire, engaged in plotting and planning their future course of action.

A portal, unexpectedly and cautiously, opened, from which emerged the notorious Dark-Queen, Mystra, who was visibly struggling against the barrier that stood between her and freedom.

Pressed for time, Raven-Wolf, also called “Ice-Spirit,” gathered her group and rushed them through a clandestine mausoleum beneath her castle to stop the antagonist known as Mystra, or the “Dark-Queen.”

As she led them into a separate room in her castle for a meeting, she stopped mid-sentence, and then, as if by magic, images floated in the air; these were clues showing the whereabouts of both Gold-Moon, who is also called “Moonbeam”, and the Aurora, who is known as “Leviathan”, thus showing clearly where to find Gold-Moon, otherwise known as “Moonbeam.”

With the group poised to begin their teamwork, Lord Cyrus-Emery, or “Wolf-Gang” as he preferred, and Luna, in perfect harmony, lightened the mood with their synchronized actions and cheerful disposition.

Approaching evening, we made camp in the Netherlands, preparing food and fire against the cold and wondering about the possibility of someone magically creating a portal to Gold-Moon, also called Moonbeam, to resolve our situation.

The situation in the Netherlands was baffling: Raven-Wolf, known as “Ice-Spirit,” sat deep in thought, struggling to comprehend not only our presence there but also the mysterious disappearances of both Vrykolakas (“Slavic”) and Phoebe Shadow-claw (“Shining-One”), leading to a series of confusing and unexplained events.

The arrival at Gold-Moon, or Moonbeam as it was known, was ultimately chilling; a palpable sense of unseen presences surrounded us and, startlingly, from out of the dark forest there appeared dark elves, witches, warlocks and other grotesque, unidentified monsters, surrounding our little group.

Surrounded with no means of escape, the group found themselves captured once more; this event, however, was distinct from previous captures, as the group did not run towards us; rather, they ran past us, suggesting a hasty retreat from an unseen threat.

Unexpectedly and with a flourish, Mystra—referred to as the “Dark-Queen”—entered, swooping down in a protective stance to place herself between me and my friends.

Her voice carries a harsh tone as she bids them to begone, and in that very moment, the group disappears, bringing us back to a face-to-face encounter with Sister.

Let it be clearly understood, and leave no room for doubt, that our presence here is completely unrelated to your presence and activities. Separate and apart from you and your followers, this adventure is completely unlike anything my friends and I have ever experienced, an unprecedented exploration into the unknown.

Little humor there, said Raven-Wolf, or some would call me “Ice-Spirit.”

In that instant, Mystra, who was called the “Dark-Queen,” with an intense and furious gaze cast her eyes upon “Ice-Spirit’s” necklace, and believed it should have been hers because she was the elder sibling and it was now worn by Raven-Wolf, also known as “Ice-Spirit.”

Passed down through generations of my ancestors, a family heirloom featuring a royal crest was transformed into a brooch, now proudly worn by Raven-Wolf, also known as “Ice-Spirit,” a princess whose lineage and the brooch itself elevate her status to Princess Raven-Wolf, or “Ice-Spirit.”

Let’s be realistic; your decision not to join me has demonstrably fueled Mystra, known as “Dark-Queen,” already considerable anger, creating a situation we must address immediately.

Regarding Raven-Wolf, whom I call the “Ice-Spirit,” my initial imprisonment of her is overshadowed by my recently discovered knowledge of her true identity and her potential involvement in this conflict.

Considering the limited time available, as noted earlier, we regret to inform you we lack the time needed to address this issue, regardless of whether you are addressed as Raven-Wolf or Ice-Spirit. The urgent need for immediate rescue is critical, as my friends are currently in a very dangerous situation. Because this matter needs more thought and attention to detail, we will give it the proper consideration it deserves and address it thoroughly at a more convenient time later on.

In a moment of intense frustration, the “Dark-Queen” Mystra let out a furious yell of “No!” as she stomped her foot, creating a wild gust of wind; every supernatural being, from myth-creatures to witches, fairies, goblins, and even her own dark elves, fell under her sway, plunging the forest into an even darker and colder atmosphere.

As the commotion reached a crescendo, the object stirred from the earth, and the moment its wings unfurled, everyone stood frozen, caught between the terrifying majesty of the scene and the overwhelming beauty that froze them all.

As the colossal dragon roared, its scales gleaming with a golden light reflected from the three moons above, the earth trembled, abruptly stopping whatever was about to occur; Mystra, the so-called “Dark-Queen,” was lost in the surrounding shadows, leaving those present in a state of shock.

When the fog finally cleared, the group discovered they were surrounded by a multitude of supernatural and mythological creatures, namely witches, goblins, the undead, and others; their fear was intense as they were suddenly and magically transported to face Gold-Moon, a figure also known as “Moonbeam.”

Instead of a hospital, it was a dungeon, a chilling place with dragon scales strewn around, and it was in this setting that Raven-Wolf, otherwise known as “Ice-Spirit,” uttered her worlds.

The unforeseen use of force by Larloch, also known as “Dark-one,” resulted in “White-Dragon,” whose tail brushed against Lord Cyrus-Emery, better known as “Wolf-Gang,” and the rest of us, being transported to a castle on the mysterious “Land of the Forgotten Island,” a location characterized by the simultaneous sounds of roaring waves pounding against the cliffs and a crackling fireplace providing warmth within the castle.

A persistent worry lingered in the mind of Raven-Wolf, or “Ice-Spirit,” concerning Phoebe Shadow-claw, “Shining-One,” and the fact that Vrykolakas, also called “Slavic,” remained missing added to the unease.

With only the sky sharing secrets, a soft whisper made its way into the quiet of the night, where Raven-Wolf, known as “Ice-Spirit,” and Gold-Moon, known as “Moonbeam,” sat quietly by the fire, the sparks of which crackled and roared, until at last Gold-Moon spoke, her soft voice shattering the silence with her carefully chosen words.

To your utter surprise, the investigation reveals a sinister path filled with chilling sorcery and the unexpected discovery of two terrifying figures, Gold-Moon, better known as “Moonbeam,” and Raven-Wolf, also known as “Ice-Spirit,” both far more frightening than you could have ever imagined.

As the others in our group slept, I was led down two unforeseen spiritual paths; later, as I slept, I journeyed through the clouds, allowing me a closer look into the torment suffered by Gold-Moon, whom many called “Moonbeam,” and as I rise from the ashes, was to be dead, and now I am here to share my stories.
