A half forgotten song
Closed RP with Myvalentina and @StoneWolf18
If you look to the skies over the mountains of Northern California, sometimes the dark clouds of incoming storms look like something else. It's near enough to the city of Sonoma, that generations of locals have written about the dark bird that hunts across the snowy mountains. The oldest piece of evidence that this myth has any truth to it is an old newspaper that dates back to the turn of the century, found in an old Spanish mission. Translated it speaks of a giant black bird that terrorized native and colonizers alike. It says the bird was judging them.
The towns that litter the valley speak of the old bird still, telling children and tourist alike, that if they act badly Jueza will come for them. What most of the tourists don't realize is that among that mountain range lies an old mansion and the stories are real. It sits among snow for most of the year, and it's upkeep is handled by the family that built that mansion more than one hundred years ago. But no one from the Alcalde family ever visit; there is no one left alive that remembers why the family left it to sit empty for so many years. Nearly forgotten.
If the clouds and trees would allow, you could possibly catch a glimpse of a giant, black form return to the Alcalde mansion every night. Jueza comes home every night.
