Surf's Up and We Got Pics!

Good evening, vampire hunters.

I'm on vacation for a week and I took my evening walk to the nearest Wawa like I do every day that week to cool off with a refresher. I haven't forgotten about you guys so I wanted to take some time to share a bit of what we've been up to.

Frederick and Eforie appear districted in this scene. Poor guy tries to get her to notice he picked the bright, red tulip for her, but a blue hedgehog and his foxy mount had beaten him to her heart. Who could blame her? The hedgehog's eyes are so adorable and KawaiiPixelArts nailed his design. It brings me back to how Sonic made me want to keep a pet hedgehog as a little kid, but for time being, this little guy will do. If there's time after saving Esther from the dryads' wrath, you might see them around in the hub room. Photo by Dewang Gupta on Unsplash.

Now for the less-than-heartwarming news*. Alongside Florentin's concern for his older brother, Passion of Rancor's first level will also introduce cambions as soldiers in Dracula's armed forces. Born to one human parent and one succubus/incubus parent, cambions are naturally gifted with black magic. In their youth, they appear human save for the pale gray or slightly redder skin, but as they go through puberty, their demonic side begins to manifest little by little. Cambions that are well-aware of that side of them and who's parents are accepting of who they are (and still alive) can cast a spell on themselves to mask their appearance. Their magic, while deadly, is controlled and is a reflection of its caster's balanced emotional state. Cambions that grew up alone and feel ostracized because of their strange appearances and unexplained disasters caused by their magic are distant, angrier, and resentful toward people, allowing them to be easily taken in by Vlad the Impaler's promises to provide them with a better life. In a century tainted by war and paranoia, he adopted plenty in exchange for the promise to deliver him substance. A cambion can be your best friend for life or your everlasting bully if you make them that way, but for those recruited by the Dark Lord may be too late to be reasoned with and being armed with a stake isn't exactly helping. All that matters to Florentin is that his brother is in peril and if he doesn't get him back, he will be an unwilling participant in the ritual to return Dracula to his prime.

Thank you for supporting the series as always and I'll see you next week. :)

Sincerely,

WN

*unless you count Anthony and Chubbo working hard on the town's and castle's architecture behind the scenes, in which case, the progress is heart-warming, but not Florentin's plight.

Wisptober Day 15: Path

“The changing colours of the leaves were a perfect excuse to take the longer, more meandering path through the woods on their way to the village market.”
