Avian dips the feathered tip into the glass bottle and carefully lowers it onto the page where she had left, just beneath the grotesque sketch of an original Lycanthrope she had attempted whilst still in the throes of energy. “… Average of ten feet tall, five hundred pounds of muscle and fur that is impervious to the war instruments of man.” The high priest stands at the front left, his cheeks like emptied udders that tremble with each breath, “tapetum lucidum…” highly sensitised night v

They started running towards her and Zoya started bouncing up and down like a bunny. "Bhago," she said, turning around. I was still confused as the guys started gaining on us. (Run) "What?" I said as I saw her ready to run as if her tail was on fire. "Jaani aise mauqon pe mun nahi per chalate Hain. BHAGOO!!" she said running. I was still standing confused.

Some described them as men eating demons. In some languages, they were referred to as 'those cursed by the moon'. Their origin could be traced back to Greek mythology with Lycaon who was believed to have been cursed by Zeus himself. Then there was some nordic folklore also. There were those who swore to have encountered these creatures in real life. Yet it all seemed so... unreal. Tales and nothing more. I recalled that night at Esme's party again.

I winced, my heart almost jumping out if its cage in fright. "What the hell-" "It’s a Minotaur," Ally replied walking towards me, “A mythological creature that's most famous for its feature in most Greek maze mythology stories,” she informed straightening the poster with a satisfied sigh. I glanced at her calm face before turning around to inspect the other odd pictures, taped to her wall.

Now it seems not to be the case. Thinking through her, she begins to tell her good friends about what Olympian gods might have. “Well… According to the legend. I know that they should have many monsters and beasts in control. Also… they should have a lot of goodies such as The Golden Fleece, Golden Apple, Aegis, Achilles Armor Etc.” Aurelia tries to list the artifact from the Greek Myth then she notices that it’s quite a long list so she brings out a tablet from her storage ring and starts to type all the lists as much as she could think of along with their abilities.

I drop to my knees before him and bow my head. “And so it was that Lycaon roasted the flesh of his child, Nyctimus, and served it unto Zeus, in a test of God's omniscience.” The Hierophant turns to an acolyte, who hands him a bowl.
