The moon is full tonight... I can see the hordes of werewolves in the distance. I recognize one in particular. Alastor Croft, the wealthy young heir to the Croft family fortune, the same one, whose brother mysteriously disappeared on the day Alastor was struck with a terrible sickness...
Their family's history has been one of tragedy. The first Croft, Lord Fenrir, built the family manor upon an old cultist ritual ground, despite the warnings of occult activity. Since then, the family has witnessed woe upon woe. The young heir's parents had been killed by a thug in Gallows Alley, leaving two young children the estate, and the family fortune. However, A terrible fever struck the younger, Alastor, and it infected his brother, killing the latter in the process. Not much is known of Alastor's condition, but one can hear howling on a full moon in the Croft Manor...
At least, that is what the city of Carvina believes, far above all else, I know what has happened to Alastor... I have seen the symptoms beforehand, I knew how to cure it, and in turn, I commited the unforgivable sin; I sold my humanity. All for Alastor! He! who fell victim to the curse of Fenrir... He who exhibited signs of the curse since I found him in an alley, he, whom I gave my soul for in order to exact my revenge upon his attacker, cursed to walk the path of the nosferatu.... My brother, who is forever cursed to walk in the moonlight, a mindless beast of rage and bloodlust... I swear, I will avenge you. I will erase my name from existence if it would mean freeing you from this curse...
As I rose from the lifeless body of my latest victim, a middle aged businessman by the looks of it, I saw him... Beyond the rage filled eyes, I saw something, sadness? Could it be that inside that layer of fur and hate, Alastor still retained his humanity somehow? I stood to meet his gaze... "Brother! if you still share my ancestors blood, come hither!"
In order to receive your prize, you must enter your in-game name at the bottom of your story.
