The Wind Bride - die Windsbraut
Today we are entering the realm of mythical creatures and I am sure that you have certainly encountered this lady before. In the north of Europe this creature is known as the Wind Bride. The wind bride is the name for a sudden, very violent, swirling, howling storm wind on the coast or at sea. In her human form, she is a beautiful young bride dancing on the waves of the sea.
Sculpture Windsbraut by Hartmut Wiesner in Wilhelmshaven, Germany
Depending on the region and mythical interpretation, she can move inland. Where exactly she comes from is not entirely clear, but there is an assumption that she comes from Greek mythology. There is the harpy Aello, the daughter of Thaumas and Electra. She was sent by the gods to bring peace - even by force - and to carry out punishments for crimes. They were depicted as winged beauties, in later times also as ugly old women with sharp claws who abducted people into the underworld to torture them there.
However, it is more likely that the wind bride comes from Norse or Germanic mythology. There she is the wife of Njörd, the god of the wind, and if we go by the handbook of German superstition then she also repeatedly accompanies the Wild Hunt (I don't mean the one from The Witcher 3). This is a ghost train or a ghost army. It can chase across the sky or roam the land in the form of a procession of corpses. The sighting is usually a harbinger of catastrophe, illness and death. In their wake are the fallen of battles, the unbaptised, the executed and those who have died prematurely or violently. As a rule, the Wild Hunt or the Wild Army can be heard announcing itself by screaming, howling, wailing or music.
The Wind Bride is a cruel bride who casts a spell over unhappy souls and drags sailors on the high seas to their doom with her stormy, wild behaviour. So it's not a good omen when you see her and especially not when she's using her powers.

@beatingheart-bride
"Emily-!" Randall cried out, but before he could follow after her, bound and determined to stay by her side, his father reached out to stop him, saying gently, "Let her go, lad. Let her go."
"Wil?!" June hissed in bewilderment at her husband's actions, looking from him, to the departing Emily, then back to Wilhelm; as soon as their daughter-in-law-to-be had shut the heavy door behind her, she raised her voice, snapping, "What the hell do you think you're doing? You're really going to let her go out and face that monster by herself?!"
"No, Junie, no," Wilhelm assured her quickly, letting Randall go (at which his son immediately rushed to the window, his heart pounding in his chest as he searched for the two vampires, knowing he couldn't bear not to watch, no matter how agonizing it'd be); pressing a quick kiss to his wife's cheek, he moved to grab the chair he'd been eyeing. With one solid swing against the doorframe, the chair was smashed to pieces, leaving the legs scattered across the ground.
"We're not gonna let Emily face that bloodsucker all by herself," he said, pulling out his pocket knife as he picked up one of the legs, moving quickly to begin carving the end into a point. "But if we're gonna do this, we're gonna play it smart. We're gonna take that vamp by surprise, and with any luck, we'll give Emily a fighting chance to give her attacker a little payback."
Picking up quickly on his meaning, June and Randall moved to pick up the other legs.
#((no kidding! and on the subject of this finale; we are once again on the EXACT same wavelength!))#((i was totally thinking that emily would go to confront constance herself and wind up on the ropes))#((only for the paces to come in clutch at the last second; having crafted some makeshift weapons))#((like wilhelm was imagining just now! and as for the ending; i defidently want to include the wedding))#((i want that sight of these four vampires celebrating randall and emily's union-married at long last!))#((BUT i also really like the idea of ending on a somewhat funnier note with them visiting dorian))#((and finding out that he's married to elizabeth; one of the fae! i just think it'd be really sweet and funny))#((for dorian to immediately recognize/remember randall and invite him and emily in))#((and as they're catching up; randall tells him about how he's a vampire now))#((and dorian happily drops that fairy bombshell in the pair's laps and all randall can eek out is “WHAT?!”))#((i just think it'd be a fun close to the story!))#outofhatboxes#beatingheart-bride#V:Dark Shadows

A Game of Thrones, Daenerys II
The silver-grey filly moved with a smooth and silken gait, and the crowd parted for her, every eye upon them.
Dany found herself moving faster than she had intended, yet somehow it was exciting rather than terrifying.
The horse broke into a trot, and she smiled. Dothraki scrambled to clear a path.
The slightest pressure with her legs, the lightest touch on the reins, and the filly responded.
She sent it into a gallop, and now the Dothraki were hooting and laughing and shouting at her as they jumped out of her way.
As she turned to ride back, a firepit loomed ahead, directly in her path. They were hemmed in on either side, with no room to stop. A daring she had never known filled Daenerys then.
The silver horse leapt the flames as if she had wings.
When she pulled up before Magister Illyrio, she said, “Tell Khal Drogo that he has given me the wind.”
The fat Pentoshi stroked his yellow beard as he repeated her words in Dothraki, and Dany saw her new husband smile for the first time.
