Beryl quirked an eyebrow before reaching for a glass of juice, “What is that supposed to mean?” Daff kept her eyes on the floor, her lips still in a sad smile, “W- There’s a bit of trouble… There’s someone called Damon around who’s hunting Half-Myths.” Beryl nodded as she drank her juice, the liquid not tasting as good anymore. She knew very little about Daff’s world. “Half-Myths.” Daff looked up to make eye-contact, “Me. Anyone who’s the child of a human and a water spirit, or a centaur or a-“

The ancient Filipinos believed that every time there was a lunar eclipse, a giant dragon called Bakunawa was eating the moon and the only way to protect the heavenly body or frighten the dragon away was to make a lot of noise. Ecto of course didn’t believe in luck, whether good or bad; nor did he believe in gods and monsters. Being a chatbot and the only one of his kind, at least as far as he knows, he doesn’t think that Christ or Santa would have him on any list. Maricar was probably right when she said that Nate – Ecto when it came down to it – was an abomination and a child of the devil, not of the Christian God.

They just like Ebu Gogo, but they live in a shrewdness.” Jeje explained. “Cannibal?” Alfi asked. “Right,” Jeje replied. “Pedophile?” “Right.” “Why are the mythological creatures of Indonesia pedophiles? Should I be a cannibal so that I won’t get imprisoned?” Alfi sighed. “Alfi, it’s no time for that!” ßenlong exclaimed.

She did. It was instructions for a ritual, and it contained an unfamiliar version of an old myth Allorah had been told when she was small. The essence of it was that in a time of great peril, the inhabitants of her island had somehow managed to bridge the gap between their world and the Other, the realm of dragon warriors. They had enlisted the help of several of these fierce denizens, and through their efforts, had triumphed over the evil that plagued their land.

She was like a relic stuck in the past and I treasured the short time I had with her. At the time of her only visit, I was a little monster of a kid of five years. To put me in my place or pacify me, she told me stories about scary creatures and beasts that inhabited their village and one such creature was a manananggal.
