Aswang Myth Novels & Stories

Maybell Smith Mythicals- A rare bloodline that people inherit from God, Dalion, that he personally blessed with the ancient dragon spirit. It is given to those who have been close enough to touch the white veil. Although this information is well known, mythicals are still a mystery to the rest of civilization, if encountered, don’t stare into its gaze.

"Selene, I fell in love with a human. Something that is forbidden among gods, among us. I had to make a choice, to leave you behind and let you live, or they'd take you away from me either way and terminate you and your father." "What? What do you mean let us live?" " If I left, and came back to my world, the gods would allow to give you and your father an opportunity to live. If I refused to leave you both.... we'd live running our whole lives, as fugitives. They would send aswangs after us. You do know what an aswang is right? It's an evil monster... half vamp-"

Also, Ley, and even the old man Fernando are no simple characters. - *Where are you getting your information about the creatures and the divinities? I would love to answer internet, but I know that is so vague and broad, lol. I surfed and visited many sites, but the one I fell in love with is the website called ‘Aswang Project’. They really have a list of gazillion poke--- gods and goddesses. As for the creatures, lol, from folklores and local horror stories. - *What is your inspiration in writing this story

“The aswang could’ve stolen Plumber Paul's body and made him their dinner.” Her mind flashed to an image of a hairy creature with a long tongue, red eyes, and sharp nails. It made the hair on her arms stand on end. Old folks on the island had stories about aswangs, but she always thought them to be myths. And even if those stories were true, whatever was in the video had to be something else. “You just said it was a lizard-man a minute ago, now it’s an aswang?” Cora scoffed at Tonio, braiding another of her souvenir bracelets.

It was the familiar spirit of the aswang and was said to possess the unique ability to suck the blood of its victims indirectly through their shadows. “First, there was the one and then another,” Mrs. Lapuz narrated, “till there was a whole pack of them. Their stomach-churning stench – like that of rotting flesh – assaulted my nose. As a matter of fact, that was the first time ever that I became aware of the property of smell in all the time I had spent with Mathias. “Mathias drew his kampilan sword while the sigbins scurried grotesquely and circled us. They were emitting low growls through their gritted teeth, and their teeth were these large fangs angled outward.

“I did see these scary monsters. There were dozens of them near a circle of crucifixes holding dead bodies. They had big, bulky bodies, pale skin, and glowing eyes with sharp snake-like teeth.” Lucifer nods. “They're called Aswangs. They're shape-shifting spirits that were once witches. Aswangs are created when a witch is killed horribly and can't move on to the afterlife until their wrong is righted. If Sahara killed the witches, she must have cursed them to serve her because Aswangs don't congregate together in that fashion. The only way to control so many Aswangs is to possess something that is dear to them. Witches are very suspicious of others, even their own. I wonder how the witch was

"The animals. They're enchanted humans and Aswang – a rival Babaylan cursed them like Circe did Odysseus's men into pigs." "Eduardo. The Mountain Shaman. He's my half-brother and we warred over the throne. When I banned the Ikapati Tribe from eating babies and human blood, and brought back from the University of Manila human protein in plants, he set fire to Aswang Mountain four years ago, and set my servants and palace nest into a cursed sleep. The flying foxes are Aswang, the monkeys are humans, and the half-breeds are the other animals, like tarsiers. They only transform into their human and aswang bodies when the moonlight shines. Otherwise, during the day, we are in a court of ghosts…"

Now dear reader, I want to insert a bit of local Filipino Folklore into the Spa. In the future, we will be talking about other culture's mythological creatures as well but we can start with these for now. The aswangs are humans that augment themselves with a ritual then eating innards and drinking blood. The manananggals are also humans that augment themselves with magickal balms and consumption of human flesh, innards and blood. They mostly target unborn babes that they suck from the tummies of their mothers using a long, thin cord-like tongue.

After the visit, Honorado died. Luna was bewildered by what she read. Her grandfather always told her stories about mystical creatures, aswang he would call them. There were other creatures such as tikbalang, tiktik, duwende, and many more. But she never knew that there were other people like them, guardians of different kinds. Why would her grandfather keep it from her?

She saw how broken I was, but she repurposed me, fashioned me into a strong individual, and showed me the infinity of possibilities before me. After sharing my story, Ms. Reina stood up and began talking, "I am both happy and sad to hear everyone's tale. It is not easy carrying those kinds of experiences yet it amazes me that you were able to keep it all together. Now I'd like to share with you everything I know. The information that I'm about to impart with you guys is a result of years of extensive research. I have explained to you what de-souling is. Let's talk about the imminent threat we have in hand. The creatures you fought, the corrupted darklings, have two stages. The first stage is
