Meet the Lugards

Feverton, a town founded during the colonial days, is a sort of relic of those far-gone days. Named by the white explorer, William Lugard, the town was known by another name before the coming of the white men. Ilu Emo(Strange town.) Hundreds of stories existed about the strange occurrences in the town and even stranger stories existed about the strange people who lived there, which made people stay away. Over time, most of these stories became lost in the past, as the people of the colonized lands lost most of what made them who they were. But the truth, just like the sun, the moon, and the stars never remain hidden for long.My name is Lanrey Lugard, yes I am a descendant of the white man who gave the strange name to this strange town. He did so after he almost died of malaria fever as many other white men did during the early days of colonialism. The people of the town nursed him back to health and he decided to settle in this beautiful

Monsters and Hunters

Baroka froze, breathing heavily, and scared half to death. He had never seen a vampire out of a book before. I was sure he had read a lot of the details and stories from books, being that he was from the Lugard family. The Lugard family, a family of monster hunters, ironically founded by a vampire. Our ancestor, the great William Lugard was a monster hunter at the beginning of his life and it was that profession that brought him to these shores all the way from England. He chased two monsters halfway across the planet after these monsters violently murdered his wife. He landed on these shores, a land that attracts all sorts of creatures and he decided to stay."It is not a very wise decision to anger my brother, Baroka. He would have yanked out your heart with such ease, you see." I patted Baroka on the back, trying to calm him as Jidey continued to pace to and fro and curse into the night sky."He was going to kill me," Baroka finally managed to talk.

Monsters and Maidens

Qayah, the most beautiful woman in the world. Of course, when I laid my eyes on her I was blown away, and I immediately felt something I had not felt in a very long time, rushing back at me overwhelmingly. A feeling I am well familiar with but had become lost to me for a lifetime. My feelings for Qayah were older than she could understand, and as I was blown away by her beauty just like the first time I saw her all those long years ago, I was also troubled by the question of how she could be alive. Because the Qayah I knew... She died the same night my mother died and my family left Feverton.After discovering what had happened at the manor, I decided to go to town and start the process of proffering a very quick solution to this catastrophe that was about to befall the town before it was too late.Harold Lugard, the first werewolf was loose on the world and judging by what I have read in the journals of William Lugard, it could only get worse from there. The last time

Manor of Secrets.

Feverton has always attracted creatures of the supernatural kind, and it was home to many of them before our ancestor even got here. They all came because of the tree hill, an unusually large baobab tree standing on a hill. Legend had it that the tree was magically planted by an old witch doctor when the town needed protection from invaders. The tree then magically attracted the first set of supernatural beings that defended the people of the town against those who would do them harm. But, with every action comes repercussions, these beings all brought their curses with them, thirst, hunger, anger, and many others. Then the witch doctor created the council to keep each group's excesses in check.When our ancestor got to Feverton, after defeating his brother, he was charged with the care of the tree hill, and our manor was built right beside it. I was going to pull out that card during my meeting with the council, a bunch of people who hated the guts of anyone with the Lugard

Meetings and Funerals.

The founders were ready for us when we got to the meeting, they had painted the whole room with runes and all sort of protection charms against vampires, that was the work of the witches, no doubt. They were all gathered in the "Circle" as they called it, a room in the local government secretariat where every founder meeting were held. The local government chairmen have always been chosen from members of the founders, this enabled a smooth, unhindered operation of the founders and ensured that the secrets of the town was secured. The "Circle," which was a literal circular room divided into five sections meant for the most influential creatures of the town, the vampires, the wolves, the witches and the shape shifters, and the human who were represented by the local government chairman and the police chief. Tables with two chairs were placed in each section, which meant two representatives for each. The representatives, most of whom I knew their ancestors were seated, staring at

Hunters and the Hunted.

I walked off the road and turned into one of the dimly lit alleyways. The cold night breeze blew into my face and it carried the smell of something else with it, humans enhanced by witchcraft, there were two of them actually, lurking in the darkness of the alley. The smell in the breeze was a familiar one, vervain on cold steele. These two hunters were coming for me and perhaps they believed that they were fully prepared and ready to tear me to shreds, silver weapons, wooden stakes, crucifix, holy water and more, these would have given them a chance or even allowed them to defeat me if I was one of these low leveled, young vampires, but damn, they were in for a surprise.No hunter in town would dare come after me, I thought. This made me to conclude that these two must not be from around here, or they must really be out of there minds. So, I decided to talk them out of their foolishness."There is no love between the your kind and mine, but there is a truce between your guild and the
