A little different from what I normally post but I’ve been on an art shlump.

So I’ve just been playing a lot of Ark (my favourite game) so I drew a Dino and made a dossier for it which I’ll submit for the creature vote in the future

glory to humanity, death to the gods.  this is the final doctrine left by the wolf-father.  despite the eastern hemisphere still reeling from their crusade one thousand years later,  agreyas remains reverent in every nation that adored them.  while the rest of the world damns them as butcher and traitor,  the last of their disciples choose to remember agreyas’ benevolence before their madness.

∗    AGREYAS OF KAZYVA.  THE HARBINGER,  DEATH-BRINGER.  WRITTEN IN AFFILIATION WITH GODLED’S ŠEŘITSE.

inspirations. slavic paganism. the goddess mara. kyivan rus’ folklore. ukrainian folklore. fromsoftware’s dark souls. fromsoftware’s elden ring. personifications of death in europe. sparda of devil may cry. the outsider of dishonored.

II. LIFE AND DEATH.

born in the midst of the iron age,  their birth is similar to that of their compatriots.  one day, there was nothing.  then, there was something,  and that something was an entity with no creator and no ill intention.  and just as it so often goes with gods, the story of their creation depends on the narrative.  according to one version,  agreyas was born in the mountains west of kazyva and when they breathed their first breath,  it snowed for the first time.  confused and alone,  agreyas wandered the land in search of purpose,  and in that time,  they saw the fallout of their birth.  famine, illness, death—  all because they were alive and didn’t know how to control it,  but still,  humanity persevered.  they would only find answers when the monad descended from the skies and instead of killing them for their misdeeds,  gave agreyas their blessing.  now imbued with knowledge from their overlord,  they brought an end to winter and would maintain the seasonal cycles and death as they saw fit. this is only one of many stories.

despite their tedious beginnings,  agreyas became known as a loving god,  and death came as a comfort to all within their cult.

however,  not all good things last.  in the ninth century,  the monad is killed and the deicides erupt,  and no part of the world is sparred.  as death itself,  agreyas was obliged to take a position of neutrality,  and for the next two decades,  they would abide by that logic—  but they were not immune to grief or guilt.  one by one,  their comrades fell,  all of them ranging from gods they knew for centuries and thaumaturges they’ve fostered since youth.  years of war tore their heart apart for the worst,  and after spiraling for long enough,  agreyas abandoned any shred of pacifism for what they believed was right.  instead of choosing between the natural order or new hierarchy,  they chose their own solution:  kill all gods and hand power over to humanity.

for three years,  their crusade was relentless.  hundreds of gods died by their hand in what they believed to be a mercy,  and were it not for their killer,  they would’ve succeeded in killing them all.  eager to bring the war to a close,  the monad’s usurper challenged agreyas themself.  when the dust settled and the sun set,  the usurper barely prevailed,  and agreyas was dead.

but agreyas did not die quietly. no, at the moment of their death,  the fallout of their last breath was so devastating it nearly killed the already weakened usurper and damned their part of the world in a regional ice age that would last decades.  the conditions at their death site were even worse,  so much so that even gods and other entities could not step near their resting place without freezing to death.  as a result,  their corpse remained untouched and unreachable for centuries.

III. POST-MORTEM.

one thousand years after their death,  conditions at agreyas’ death site were letting up,  and it became manageable enough for thaumaturges to traverse the mountains,  albeit still with the risk of incurable stigmata—  but soldiers had no say in their decisions,  and domitsian,  former lord of the ensemble’s tenth legion,  ordered a search and excavation of agreyas’ corpse.  it took one year and too many preventable deaths,  but eventually,  agreyas’ corpse was found beneath the snow and brought to domitsian.  his intentions were to consume agreyas’ blood and derive their abilities,  but these plans never came to pass.  domitsian would be killed by his protégé,  ashina kesar,  and kesar would assume lordship over the legion and all his assets.

for two years, agreyas would remain at rest until kostyantyn akhmetov,  a young operative for the legion,  consumes a portion of their blood.  despite almost dying,  kostyantyn survives the consumption.  agreyas incarnates.

IV. AGREYAN THEOPHAGES.

agreyan theophages refer to theophages who had derived their abilities from agreyas.  due to their long existence and friendliness with their human believers,  agreyas would bestow the blessing of their blood to those they believed were worthy of it.  many of these figures would be hailed as prophets or heroes among their respective cultures.

but unfortunately,  when agreyas turned their fury to the gods,  the world condemned the existence of their theophages in turn.  agreyan theophages would be mass purged for the next century,  and the ones that did survive took refuge in nations far away and died with their faith unspoken.  most of these individuals held little political or social power with exception of kazymyr ii of kazyva,  first grand prince of khoryv.  although he began his life as a good man,  he would be remembered as one of the most notorious thaumaturges of his time for the abandonment of his throne and warmongering;  a corruption that was likely due to his contraction of stigmata and the consumption of various entities.  above all,  he’s immortalized as one of the only humans that successfully killed gods.

kazymyr dies in 982 A.D,  and his death is generally considered the last time the world saw agreyas’ power.  his daughter and agreyan theophage,  the grand princess predslava,  would mark the true end of the agreyan theophages entirely when she dies in 994 A.D.  no agreyan theophage would appear for the next one thousand years until kostyantyn akhmetov.  as of today,  he remains the only one of his kind.

while kostyantyn’s criminal identity has been on the registry for years,  debate on whether or not the black hound should be classified as an agreyan theophage is still ongoing.

V. MISCELLANEOUS.

‧‧‧   agreyas did everything in their power to make sure they died in their human form specifically.  due to their non-human biology and the conditions of their death site,  they would never undergo the stages of decay and is perfectly preserved.

‧‧‧   although agreyas is a prominent god in various different nations,  modern-day kazyva claims them as a cultural figure and hero due to their involvement in national history.  they can be seen in several different monuments and worship of them is still very popular.

‧‧‧   in celebration of the transition from winter to spring,  effigies resembling agreyas would be created and then burned to symbolize the death of winter.

being  a  demi-god  complicates  romance  for  hercules  in  several  ways.  his  dual  nature  —  part  mortal,  part  divine  —  creates  a  disconnect  between  him  and  those  around  him.  while  he  longs  for  a  normal  life,  his  godly  strength  and  destiny  make  it  difficult  to  fully  integrate  into  human  relationships.  his  immortality  (  or  lack  thereof  )  is  another  challenge.  if  he  were  to  regain  his  place  among  the  gods,  he  would  be  separated  from  mortals  forever,  making  any  romantic  connection  fleeting.  this  is  why  his  decision  to  remain  on  earth  instead  of  ascending  to  olympus  is  so  significant  —  it  proves  that  love  means  more  to  him  than  power  or  immortality.

his  status  as  a  hero  also  adds  pressure.  many  see  him  as  a  legendary  figure,  not  just  a  person,  making  genuine  relationships  harder  to  form.  people  either  idolize  him  or  fear  him,  leaving  little  room  for  normal,  heartfelt  connections.

2025年03月15日 location: そうる ✈️ とうきょう excerpt: "do you ever think of him when you look at me?" the answer, as usual, is never direct, never heavy – just a soft, wistful smile over the phone and the gentle words, "you have his nose." as if there is affection that still exists in something as simple as resemblance, as if longing could be held in the shape of a face.

every once in a while, yunaka will ask her mother, reiko, to share stories – how she met yunaka's father, the fleeting years they spent together when they were in university and that last summer when they said goodbye before they parted ways, her to osaka and him to tokyo. in the early morning of dawn, she chooses to ask again. while she watches the skyline from the vehicle's window, the quiet city barely awake, she listens closely. not just to the words, but to the subtle shifts in her mother’s voice and the way nostalgia lingers in the pauses between sentences.

reiko goes on her spiel, despite telling her she's being woken up for the most ridiculous reason. she speaks of late afternoons at the beach, where the ocean breeze carried their laughter, and of darkened cinemas where they whispered to each other between scenes, momentarily lost in a world that belonged only to them. she recalls autumn drives along winding roads painted in gold and crimson, the hum of the engine the only sound between them as they stole moments of normalcy without his guards. when he was with me, he wasn’t royalty – he was just makoto. just a man who loved her, free from the weight of duty and expectation.

"why are you asking so much about your father this morning?" reiko finally asks with a yawn, a hint of suspicion in her tone.

yunaka responds with a chuckle. "i'm seeing him later for dinner. it was white day last night. i don't know, i was just suddenly thinking of talking to you about when you two first met."

there is a reason, indeed – love is something that has flooded her thoughts in the past week, and she knows her mother senses this root of her curiosity. not allowing her to shift the focus, yunaka insists she shares more.

"i think a lot of people forget that love," reiko concludes instead, her voice wistful and low. "is also about absence – the presence of someone who is no longer there but still lingers in the smallest details." this leaves yunaka to wonder. her parents had parted ways before she was even born, a story that unraveled before it had the chance to hold her in its arms. and yet, the version where reiko and makoto loved each other lives in the spaces they both left behind.

she sees it in the way her mother’s eyes soften when autumn leaves begin to fall, as if the season itself carries echoes of the romance she once lived. she hears it in the quiet hum of an old song playing on the radio, the kind that makes her mother pause for just a second longer than usual. it lingers in the scent of sea breeze on their rare trips to the coast, in the way her mother runs her fingers through the sand, lost in a memory yunaka will never fully know.

"love isn’t always something that fades when lost, nana." it simply changes shape, settling into the quiet corners of a person’s heart, waiting to be felt in the simplest of moments.

"do you ever think of him when you look at me?" the answer, as usual, is never direct, never heavy – just a soft, wistful smile over the phone and the gentle words, "you have his nose." as if there is affection that still exists in something as simple as resemblance, as if longing could be held in the shape of a face.

appearance. an archetype of a diabolical devil. raphael would disguise his infernal image appearing to everyone as human. he would often remain in this disguise, rarely exposing his true face. he only lets the devil out when he is at home.

personality. the devil with the silver tongue, elegant by nature and trade, instinctively cunning and controlling. a perfumed trickster. his pleasant demeanor gave him an outward appearance of a noble. sophisticated and charming with wit and self-restraint. a crafted disguise, hiding his true nature under honey tongue and flowery words. despite his courteous manner, he is known as a deceiver due to the fact that he would hide his intentions and goals through woven deception and orchestrate wicked plots behind the scenes. raphael was the devil that tried to convince mortals to sign a pact with him.

like his father mephistopheles, he had a cold surface and a fiery core. driven by ambition, raphael would pursue power and knowledge. his flaw was his hubris, while his anger was a weakness, his most flawed trait was his megalomania and narcissism. raphael had a heightened sense of grandiosity. he was incapable of being content and always compulsively overextended himself. he thirsted for power and sought order and control.

DOSSIER.

NAME: Shadow ALIASES: Ultimate Lifeform, Project Shadow, Shads, etc. etc. SPECIES: Artificially created hedgehog imbued with Black Arms DNA AGE: Partner-headcanon dependent ; default is about 23 GENDER: Nonbinary something or other...he doesn't think about it. PRONOUNS: He/him/his SEXUALITY: Grey-aromantic bisexual ALLIANCES: Team Dark, GUN (sort of but not really anymore -- see under the cut for more info)

MY SHADOW: follows the color palette of his original SA2 incarnation (tanned muzzle, brighter reds, etc.). He wears a RED STAR RING for Zone travel underneath his left glove cuff (mostly utilized in crossover threads). Often keeps the GREEN CHAOS EMERALD on his person.

HIS PERSONALITY: is mostly driven from SA2 with heavy influences from his portrayals in Archie, Battle, and 06. He is closed-off, brusque, serious, overly determined, but is not above taunting people or egging people on and he smiles and smirks pretty often. He is driven by his love for Maria and his desire to uphold her wish, and is fine with being seen as morally grey for it, as he ultimately believes in his ability to choose what is right since regaining his memories and sense of self. He hates those that he sees as flighty or noncommittal and is often over-bearing in his pursuit of duty and doing what he thinks is right.

In short, Shadow is a loner who simply struggles with socializing and puts too much emphasis on his personal sense of justice, and will sometimes make fun of people or outwardly look down on them for not seeing things his way.

My Shadow's GENERAL BACKSTORY AND LORE is a hodge-podge of various Sonic canons but mostly sticks to game-verse with emphasis on his portrayal in SA2.

THINGS WILL BE CHANGED A BIT DEPENDING ON WHO I'M WRITING WITH to make threading more interesting. For example, Finitevus and Cosmo might not be "canon" to my general lore, but if I ever were to write with a Finitevus or Cosmo it'd probably just be easier to assume the muses have interacted in some capacity or are at least somewhat familiar with each other. I, the mun, am pretty familiar with all Sonic lore in at least some capacity so I don't mind just jumping around with what's canon and not canon for my Shadow.

The biggest thing I'm a stickler about and the largest point of divergence is that Shadow the Hedgehog 2005 is NOT CANON for my Shadow.

Shadow does not know Black Doom and has not interacted with him. In place of the plot revolving around the Black Comet and Gerald making a pact with Black Doom, this is what I have come up with.

Shadow, post-Sonic Heroes and leading into and intertwining with the events of Battle, sets about traveling the world to learn more about his past and who he really is. He breaks into various GUN facilities (many of which are seen in ShTH anyway) to uncover this information. Some of his travels lead him into a digital white space a la Shadow Generations and Archie 171 where he can interact directly with data recreations of Maria and Gerald and make peace with their passing.

Instead of Gerald's pact, what happened is this: in his attempt to create the Ultimate Lifeform, he looked to the ancient Echidnas and Babylonians for guidance and traveled to Mobius. This is when he uncovered the Gizoid (Emerl) and also found an interesting set of alien DNA that didn't match what he knew of the echidnas nor the Babylonians' tech. He dubbed the DNA "Black Arms" for its interesting appearance and infused it with his creation and Shadow woke up shortly thereafter.

CURRENTLY: Again, this is sort of dependent on whom I am writing with, as I don't generally treat IDW events as "canon" to my Shadow (but it is easier to have Shadow interact with Whisper like he knows of her from her time in the Resistance). In the case of IDW-centric threads, PLEASE NOTE MY SHADOW WAS NOT ZOMBOTTED. Idk why they did that it was a bad writing choice.

Anyway post-Forces and I guess also post-Frontiers (even though Shadow's not in that game), which is where I generally assume most threads to take place, with Eggman largely dissolving GUN during his reign over Mobius, Shadow is beginning to step into more of a separate vigilante role as the dark protector of the planet and outside of his role as a GUN special operative. In the instance of my Shadow, he was primarily teamed with them as a means to an end in using their vast information networks to help him make personal judgement calls on where to go and what was the biggest threat to Mobius.

But since they no longer have access to that kind of information after Eggman's reign thanks to their once-ubiquitous information networks being destroyed, Shadow no longer views them necessary to his own goals, and is beginning to sever ties.

LIL NOTES: I call the planet Mobius and refer to the anthropomorphic animals as Mobians but I don't consider it to be Archie's Mobius.

I refer to the disease Maria contracted as NIDS (although I guess this is canon to everything now and not just Sonic X anymore).

I have certain issues and concepts from Archie I've adopted into my Shadow's canon, but since Archie!Shadow is such a separate guy from the main storyline of Archie, they don't really feel pertinent to mention. But as an example, I like to imagine the Freedom Fighters still exist in Shadow's lore, they are just more of like a separate side-group that sometimes cross paths with Sonic and co. Namely I envision them helping with Perfect Chaos in Station Square during the events of SA1, things like that. I know most people writing Archie characters stick to Archie canon, so dw, I won't operate under the pretense of my made-up canon with your muses.

I consider the Sonic Universe arc where Shadow got sent to Blaze's dimension to handle Metal Sonic to be canon, and it takes place shortly after the events of Rush Adventure.

During the events of Sonic Unleashed, Shadow spent most of his time on Angel Island helping manage an onslaught of Dark Gaia creatures trying to take the Master Emerald. I like to imagine Tikal (or maybe Tikhaos if you're feeling really spicy) get to be briefly re-personified here to help Shadow manage the threat.

Xu constantly wears layers (jacket, cardigan, etc), because she is always cold. It's gotta be like 85 and sunny out before you see her in something without a layer she can add or remove as necessary.

This also means that partners' shirts and hoodies are never safe, because she will borrow it and then never give it back.

BIOGRAPHY.

( tw: parental death, murder )

It's not often something bright is birthed within the confines of darkness as encompassing as the underworld of Verona, but from the moment he drew his first breath, Aras Demirci appeared to have different plans. Whereas the rest of his family bloodied their hands with ugly business behind closed doors, Aras drew people in with his natural magnetism. Given that he was the third child, he had fewer obligations within the mafia business and thus, had more time to mingle with people. It was no wonder Verona soon found itself enamored by the young prince — his boyish charm, his ability to smile just the right way to make you forget every naughty deed of his, his skill to make anyone feel included in his circle regardless of your background. In return, Aras reciprocated Veroneses' affection with the same kind of adoration. Life was perfect — until it wasn't.

Aras' carefree and beautiful life came to an abrupt end in 2011 when his father was discovered dead in the grim alley, a fate brought forward by his dearest friend. Everything was in sudden uproar; chaos and grief reigned over their family and the city; a need for blood and vengeance took root in the hearts of his relatives. But the young prince himself, he just felt hollow. It was hard to comprehend all of it, especially when his world previously had been as untouched by the ugly side of it as it could have. Furthermore, the pitying looks from people without anyone really asking how he felt about it all soon became unbearable.

To cope with the weight of it all, in addition to placing flowers on his father's grave, Aras buried a part of him that had exuded genuine joy. His mates at school saw little to no change in his demeanor; he was still the same charming boy, laughing and grinning, with a mischievous spark in his eyes. However, the air of genuine sincerity had vanished from his actions. Aras would seek people out and beguile them, only to drop them a moment later with no remorse as soon as his interest in them had waned. It was better this way, wasn't it? No one could crack a hardened heart, after all.

In the following years, he maintained a polite distance from Demirci family's activities and, purposefully, withdrew from his family members as well. And when the chance to brush off the dust of Verona's crimson streets came, Aras seized it without hesitation. London became his new home; and to describe those years as eye-opening and transformative would be an understatement of the century. No one knew him or his baggage here; he could just be and breathe. It was an exhilarating thing to realize, and Aras soon made the most of it. Indulged in lovers, made friends, explored the country and the world, proved to be a surprisingly gifted academic as well. His visits to Italy became less and less frequent, until they ceased entirely at the beginning of his master's degree studies in September '23. It was as if old self had slowly begun to return, for life was perfect. Until it wasn't.

In early autumn of 2024, Aras received unwelcome news from Verona — now would be the time to take the next step in their vendetta against the Moretti family. No doubt things would get messy and, given his experience in the field of communications and his natural charm, his assistance would be required to turn the tide of the war in Demircis' favor. For the briefest moments, he considered ignoring the command or fleeing. But as seeing that would've caused unnecessary meddling from the parts of his family, he decided against it and, reluctantly, returned to Verona's cobble streets. It's not his intention to stay any longer than absolutely necessary; he'll manipulate the masses to gain their support for his family and hopefully see someone pay for his father's murder. But once that's done? He'll drop this damned city like he's dropped anyone fooled by his amiable exterior and honeyed words.

Free my son, he definitely did all the things he was accused of, but also y'all gotta remember teenagers are The Most Fucking Dramatic Assholes, and catastrophism is a very real thing. Why would he bother giving Garden any more of himself, when they clearly took pleasure in crushing his dreams?

Going with Edea, a person he recognized and knew, despite all that magical manipulation, made perfect sense. (Kidnapping and holding Deling hostage on live TV, though, was, maybe, a little overboard.)

Finding out that wasn't the only mother he's ever really known, and was something else entirely wearing her like a goddamned Halloween costume, might have been a shock-- but it wasn't like he could have turned around and left.

All he ever wanted to do was be remembered. And it blew up in his face.

FUN FACTS.

as evidenced by the timeline section, nadia has moved around A Lot and has lived relatively little time in england. this was motivated by constantine's desire for nadia to learn the tricks of the money laundering trade as soon as she displayed an affinity for it. europe's best were spread across the continent and given that there might be some cultural nuances to the trade, it only made sense she actually lived in the regions.

she is an international baccalaureate girlie through and through. all of her education prior to tertiary education was ib; primary years in portugal, middle years in romania, and diploma programme in wales. given the programme's international nature, it enabled nadia to form connections with useful individuals all over the world.

nadia is 190cm / 6'3" tall, making her the tallest liddell by far. the massive height difference, especially compared to her father, has led to some speculation that she's an illegitimate child, but the liddells have always ignored such talk. they know she's a liddell by blood, as much as she detests their relation, and nothing can change that

speaking of height, rarely will you catch nadia without a pair of christian louboutin's in her feet. she particularly favors the kate design — a classic pointy pump with a red sole and a 10cm stiletto heel. this makes her 2 meters / 6'7" tall and very intimidating in the eyes of others. she couldn't care less about the feelings of others, though, she'll gladly crush you under her heel and exploit your insecurity gleefully.

even though she's got a great memory and likely remembers your name, even after a brief encounter, she'll shamelessly pretend she doesn't remember it if she's deemed you too boring / inferior to her. furthermore, she has no issue using a dehumanizing nickname when speaking about you. an example of this is maksim, who nadia sometimes refers to as "expense number (insert number here)" due to what his rehab cost.

capable of physical violence and killing, as all liddell children are, but considers herself above such vulgarities. however, can and will absolutely calculate the most and least efficient ways to commit such acts based on numbers and statistics.

nadia owns two russian blue cats, named mariinsky and bolshoi. they're the closest thing to children she'll ever have, and all of her capacity for warmth and caring is reserved for them only.

Bio:

Gideon Gorelieu was born almost nothing to a pair of indentured servants in French Louisiana: his father repaired the local magnate's fishing fleet, his mother a maid in one of the minor sugar baron's households. he watched his two older brothers die in a hurricane that wreaked horror on their coastal community, and his younger brother never lived past childhood –– dead of sickness and starvation, and his mother died of grief soon after. with a decent knowledge of fishing boats and weather patterns, he took to sea on a merchant vessel as a green hand, but showed promise and eventually made his way up through the ranks. as an officer, he was instrumental in staging a mutiny against their captain, and the ship became a profitable smuggling operation rather than a legal merchant ship. with her dark grey sails and unique capacity for escaping the notice of the law amongst the sandbars and coves, the schooner took a new name: La Petite Revenante.

for a while, Gideon bent his head to the new captain, but in an outburst of his soon to be infamous temper, killed his only competition in a duel of honor. when they put to sea again, he raised the prospect of piracy: any dissenters had their throats slit and were tossed to the sharks, leaving only the most merciless, and callus, among them. after a few minor prizes, cutting their teeth as buccaneers and filling out their ranks, Captain Gorelieu set his sights on a Spanish frigate. the revenante's crew swarmed aboard, and slaughtered almost every single man, leaving only a few to swim ashore and tell the tale of the newly-named CAPTAIN BARTHOLOMEW GORE.

Gore rapidly became a successful pirate with his flagship, La Tuerie, in his command, taking several prizes that he allocated to the command of his officers and building out a sizeable fleet. the Louisiana governor, wishing to keep Gore as an ally rather than an enemy, offered him a commission as a privateer, a plot of land, and some political influence if in exchange he would show mercy to the colony and share his ill-gotten wealth with them instead of elsewhere. Gore could not refuse, and began construction on the place which put fear into the hearts of all those enslaved and indentured who worked on it: Bloodmere Manor. to separate the privateer who now lived in privilege and wealth ( and hard won fear and respect ) in New Orleans from the bloodthirsty pirate captain, Gore occasionally used the name Roberts in other ports like Nassau, Port Royal, and Havana, but the people of Louisiana always attributed the stories of bloodshed to their own captain.

on one of his returns to New Orleans to check on the progress of his new mansion, Gore dined with the governor and a few of the city's socialites and was introduced to Miss Priscilla de Claire, a lovely, innocent nineteen year old heiress who –– kept in the dark about Gore's piratical exploits –– was charmed by the older captain who could be most gentlemanlike when he wanted to be. he began courting her, swaying her with expensive gifts and endless attention, and the two were set to be married as soon as the manor was finished. Gorelieu began integrating himself more completely into landed society and into his role as a plantation owner, befriending the de Claire's and most of the other New Orleans families with a by-and-by more polished exterior. but by night, he drank heavily, and every time he closed his eyes began to be haunted by the faceless masses he had put to the sword.

on the very night they were wed, Gorelieu hosted the de Claire's and other prominent families in the richly-decorated mansion, but while he entertained his in-laws, Priscilla snuck off alone to explore her new home. in the basement, she discovered a chest full of relics of his pirate's life: weapons, and maps, and worst of all, the bones of his enemies, kept like souvenirs and not all of them cleaned. she confronted Gore, horrified, threatening to have their marriage annulled. Gore was incensed. ( alongside the loss of his love, he stood to lose her dowry, too ) in a fit of rage, he dashed his bride's head against the wall, and bricked her body up in it.

while the de Claire's searched the bayou endlessly for their missing daughter, assuming she had balked from married life and fled the obligations of becoming his bride, Priscilla ensured her husband could not enjoy his newfound wealth, or find any peace in the expansive house: her ghost tormented him to madness, until he fled again to sea ( hoping to escape some suspicion, as well ). but he found no respite from his bride, there, either, and the visions followed him until –– his ears filled with endless screams –– he hung himself from the yardarm, a ghostly specter on a ship of death, leaving the mansion empty of everything but ghosts.
