Monsters Beget Nightmares
A reign of blood
Queen Genevieve was known as a humanitarian, her husband a murderer, and her first-born son a cruel tyrant. The grandchildren were feared, and their cousins' betrayers.
The children's children are as good as their upbringing, so unsurprisingly they fought each other till death for power.
Clubs, swords, guns, poison, bombs… no matter the weapon of choice, war is waged from the greedy little hearts inside rotting blackened vessels.
For the decendants to be the nightmares of humankind, Queen Genevieve must have been entirely horrifying.
Blood runs thick over the countryside as blood runs through this family's veins.

The Spring
The sun was high when Lance pulled off the road and into the dusty lot of the service station. The sign back at the hairpin--the first sign in a long time--said they just rolled into Hatter’s Creek, Population 63. It was small enough it didn’t appear on the handmap in Shelby’s lap, yet here it stood, the first backwater township on the fringes of the National Park. The plan was to gas up, restock the snack bag, and press on into the wilderness.
