The short story is
still like the novel's wayward younger brother, we know that it's not
respectable - but I think that can also add to the glory of it.

-Neil Gaiman
Alright so I'm gonna write one of the first short stories for my fantasy world and post it on here. This is gonna be a little bit about the Lycanthropes that live in the Realm. So bear with me on this, cause this is the first time I've done something like this. I'm sure one day I'll do something more with but here it is. Hope you enjoy:
Music to listen to as you read :)
They are afraid of me. I don’t blame them. I am afraid of myself
too.
I never know when I’ll lose control. When I’ll be taken from those I love. When the beast from within, will burst
out.
And it’s not like I choose to be this monster. It was inherited. A power forced upon me.
And tonight is a full moon.
The skies are clear and the stars are shinning. The monster within calls to me. It begs me to let it out.
My parents once taught me that our kind had a purpose. That we were meant to be the protectors of
mankind; to protect man from the undead monsters who feast upon their blood.
Our leaders, the Alpha’s, made a deal with Kyyja, the
Goddess of Lust and Rebellion – a Dark Dragon.
It involved the eternal destruction of our enemies – those who
threatened mankind.
But we were deceived.
All magic comes at a price, and Kyyja never told us what that was. It wasn’t until the deal was struck
that she told us that it was her who had created our enemies in the first place.
Yes, our enemies were defeated. But their evil was embedded inside of our
souls. And we became cursed…
When the full moon rises we lose control of our bodies. What was once our greatest strength, bringing
hope to all, became our greatest weakness.
From this deal, we spread fear to all, including ourselves. We became the very thing that we sought to
destroy.
And now, the crimson moon rises. The beast within calls out. I howl in reply to Lunar’s call. And I fall into darkness…
****
Alright so the point of this is to show that the Werewolves - Lycanthropes - were once made the protectors of man. They were actually created by Silous, God of the Hunt and Nature. Silous created them to protect mankind from the undead monsters called Vampyres - the undead who seek the destruction of Mankind. The Vampyres were planning on blotting out the sun for all time, allowing the two moons - Lunar and Constella - to shine upon the world.
You see, secretly Kyyja worshiped Lunar and wanted him to return. So she created him servants, made from darkness - from the light of the moon that Lunar's essence was trapped inside of. And from it the Vampyres were created. They were made to destroy the one thing that the Creator God Viius loved - Mankind. Kyyja was jealous of mankind, and knew that Lunar was far more powerful than her.
The Vampyres were nearing victory when the leaders of the Lycanthropes - the Alpha's - struck a deal with Kyyja, unaware that she had created the Vampyres. The deal destroyed all the Vampyres from existence, but came at a terrible price. The Lycanthropes were cursed. They could turn into their forms at will for the most part and control it; but when the full moon rose, they were forever cursed to lose control of their bodies. They would kill without mercy those who came across their path. They were known for killing whole villages in the region of Orethas, Bruqon, and Appitope. This curse drove many Lycanthropes into isolation, not wishing to harm any more humans.
Thus, this little short story was created haha
***
Whelp that's pretty much it haha. Hope you enjoyed.
It'll be interesting to see if I ever get the time to create an actual story based on this.
Have an awesome day!!
