Simone asked as she reached out to steady me. “I am fine,” I said, as I rubbed the pain off my ankle. But a cold dread, completely separate from the pain, trickled down my spine. My father’s voice, warm and firm from when I was a little girl, echoed in my memory. ‘A stumble with the left foot, my little Hanni, is the moon goddess whispering a warning. A bad omen.

To prevent any supernatural repercussions, the person who stepped over it would have to step over it again," the woman explained.

‘Is my right foot going to become crippled just like this?!’ Just as she was about to struggle, Brittany said, “Mother, it’d be the best if you don’t struggle, because it would break your leg easily. If it’s broken, then your leg will really be done for.” Brittany’s words frightened Mother Mae immediately. She was the sect master of the Northern Sacred Mountain Sect. If she were to lose her foot and become a crippled sect master, that would be really embarrassing.

Creatures that had not died easy. “Either way, I don’t care to linger.”

Some don’t. There are a lot of specifications that come with it. Roman would be the man to ask about the particulars. Defense is his job, while keeping shit together is mine. Carpathia has always been well known for a wealth of superstition. Modern day or not, the folklore and rather untouched wilderness of the black mountain remains at the very least superstitious. Unlike a lot of other countries humans here are very aware of our existence. Whether they fully accept or admit to the fact that Vampires, Werewolves, and Witches walk among them or not, every single one of them knows that we’re the only ones who are going to save their assess when weird shit goes down.

Hunter raised an eyebrow, probably thinking she had lost her mind. “That’s a… Superstition among tigers.” she said that half-truth with a bitter aftertaste in her mouth “As everything that has been happening lately seems to have no plausible explanation, I thought I could do something to try… Help.” Corinne looked away from him, continuing to speak even though she knew that Hunter wouldn't believe a single word of it “I know it doesn't make sense, but...

The elixir had worked rapidly and cured the ill before they join the departed. Lucian had heard the story from his mother a million times in his fifty Lecanther years, and he still believed it sounded an awful lot like they had something to do with the plague attacking only shifters in the first place, but no one listens to him anyways so he kept shut about his theory.

"O satanic Lord," Nothing. It was too early to give up, but I already did. My feet were cold, and my left index finger itched for whatever reason. "O satanic Lord," I dug in with my nail and began itching. "O satanic - ouch!" Blood. It was gushing like nothing I'd seen before, dripping on the floor like my finger was a man who'd just been decapitated. Luckily for me, I owned a first aid kit. Frown formed on my face as I grew immediately angry. Hail a satanic Lord, they said, not to maim yourself.

With each that departs their human shells, their wolves sprint for the darkened sky to join the moon goddess once more. Seiko calls for me as she kneels next to my mother.

Superstitions, legends and tales are thick in our minds and blood.
