《Wolfheim》Chapter 3: An Old Ghost Part 1

- Alamannia, Holy Roman Empire, 870 a.D. -
All conversations have been translated from Alemannic, Old High German and Latin. Just to be sure everyone who reads this chapter understands what the hell the characters are saying!
The day breaks. People gather around to thank the gods for another day of Sun. The Alemanni tribes do not worship the Christian God. For the Holy Emperor, that's not a problem, as long as they bow to him. A group of Imperial Knights approach a small settlement of tribes. Their horses galloping furiously, as if chasing something. As they reached the "village", they stopped. One of the knights begins to speak.
– I bring to you a message from the Holy Emperor himself. "I, Holy Roman Emperor Louis, second of this name, bring you a warning. The tribes of Alamannia shall bow to me, to the Pope and to God. It is time to end the paganism of this land." – the knight folded back the scroll.
– Why does the emperor decide this now? No emperor before him took that stance. – an old man asked.
– The Empire is at war with the Saracens. And the Empire requires more knights. But in a Holy War, we cannot have pagans fighting in the name of a god they don't believe in. – another knight, one with long blond hair and blue eyes, answers the man – I myself am an Alemanni. And it pains me to almost force my own kind to bow to God. I believe in him on my own terms, but it was a decision I had to make some time ago...
– Well, if it is an Alemanni who asks us, we'll do it. Young boy, what is your name? – the old man asks.
– Siegfried. Siegfried von Krone.

Hollow Moon
She doesn't like being told what to do. He knows what’s best for her. She is fiercely independent but he is determined to save her, whether she likes it or not. Del and Nyssa live two very different lives and that’s the way Nyssa likes it. She is beholden to no one so when Del comes knocking on her door, she sends him on his way with a wink and a sarcastic “yeah, right.” When that doesn’t work, she bolts. She just wants to live her normal life; gambling with fairies (the not-so-nice kind), befriending ghouls and painting the future all over the whitewash. No boy is going to get in the way of that. Excerpt: He snagged her wrist gently before she could flounce away, his fingers warm and firm. “You need to come with me, girl,” he said earnestly. “I don't need to do anything.” She was indignant. She knew that sometimes her kind of abilities could be unruly but Nyssa was quite capable of taking care of herself. She’d lived with her abilities since she was thirteen. She’d learned to handle them herself. “It’s dangerous for you to be on your own,” Del said, tightening his grip on her wrist. She pulled her arm from his grip and he let her go. He could force her to go with him, she knew, but he wouldn’t. “I don’t need your help, Superman.” She didn’t look at him. “I’ll be back in a week,” he said, ignoring her protests. “Be ready to leave with me.” He breezed past her, discarding the necklaces he still held on the desk and leaving. Nyssa sighed, watching his back as he disappeared down the street. “Fat chance, Superman.”

My Little Husky Assistant
Tachibana Nobara, a cold and materialistic selfish woman, bought a little Siberian husky from a derelict-looking shop, replacing her late companion and also a pet-friend, a black Doberman pinscher. She named the new puppy Yuu. She found out that her little puppy wasn't really a dog after comparing his extraordinary thinking-skills and habits with a normal dog's cleverness. She agreed to take him as an assistant after he showed his human's form with a condition he must be a dog all the time except when she told him too. In exchange of that, she needed to help him to break his curse as a little puppy which brought calamity to the one who admired him the most. Despite the deal, Nobara seemed to had no intention or initiative to even help Yuu to break his curse. Regardless of being cursed, Yuu also had a superpower for which he could induce electricity and even lightning bolt without the use of magic either in the form of a human or a dog. As one of the chosen hero, the great 7 sentinels, Nobara's only job was to slay vampire or apprehend them if necessary. Her current mission was on investigation of the vampire's third method of conquering humanity after they had achieved twice failures.
