Chapter #3Choices, Choices... by: Unknown Okay, for the first character, Ish-Pan, I will give a basic introduction. But Nixie is a wild card for whoever wishes to pick up on her story and I couldn't think of any other way to introduce her, so I gave you the legend of the Mermaid of Redfalls' Lake.
5. Ish-Pan, the child of a succubus and a slime-nymph. Ish-Pan was once a young boy with tan skin and short white-blond hair. Now, he appears to be a young man that has ghastly white skin and straight, messy hair that seems black enough to absorb light and is sealed into a local shrine. He has been asleep for years having dreams of his best friend, first love, and the girl he forced to seal him into this prison. His seal has been broken...
6. Nixie, the mermaid of Redfalls' Lake. "There were once four sister's, all born of the most beautiful woman ever to live in our town of Redoak, as well the founder of this town's only four children. They were so enchanting that men would abandon their loves and wives to attempt to court one of the sisters. Eventually, the women who lost their love's eye grew envious of the sisters and planned to murder them to claim back what they had lost.
So all the women got together and arranged a party for all the women in town, making sure that the four sisters would attend, then after everyone had arrived they lured the sisters to the small stream that poured into the lake from a large cliff. The oldest of the four sister's realized their plan when she saw weapons that were in the hands of their fellow townsfolk. She got in front of her three younger sisters elongating their life by being a shield, she was gutted like a fish for attempting to stop the women. And so, The first of the sister's dropped into the stream spilling her life into the flowing water and over the cliff's edge. The second sister attempted to flee, but was quickly cut down by a woman who thought that it would be funny if the sisters who ran had their legs cleaved off. Her blood filled the stream as well. The third oldest sister pleaded for her life and had her tongue cut out and her lungs pierced with wooden stakes. Her blood flowed into the waterfall and into the lake.
Lastly the woman converged on the youngest of the four daughter's. Her eyes were staring into the crowd of women, they had no fear. For a girl who had not come of age, she stared at all of the women with boiling hatred she spat in the nearest woman's face and screamed at them.
"What good does killing four innocent girl's do? Does it make you happy? Do you think that your former loves and husbands will ever return to the woman that killed the person who stole their heart? And I swear you and your blood will join my sister's crimson blood and me in the lake."
With those harsh, painfully truthful words she jumped off the cliff and onto the rocks below. All of the woman looked over the cliff, seeing the small girl who's name was Nixie crumpled up between the rocks at the base of the cliff. Some of the women realized that what she said was true, flinging themselves over the cliffs edge. Others attempted to return to their husbands and loves, who either rejected their existence or flung themselves over the cliff in the name of love. Those poor women that were left alone joined the sister's they murdered by either jumping off the cliff or drowning themselves in the bloody water.
Finally, after the remaining townspeople gathered and began to bury their dead they realized that the youngest of the four sister's was missing from the dead and that there small handprints and drag marks from where the youngest sister's body fell. The founder of this town, Lord Redoak looked towards the stained red water of the lake and saw a young girl with crimson hair waving at him. It was Nixie and it is said she still lives in the lake, waiting to return to land when the stained water forgets the sins of the town's people."   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
