Realistic or Modern Society of Myths-Going Beyond

[Error404RealityFailed]

Children dream of fantasy without notion of truth. They see the creatures the adults ignore, they see those that hide. A child holds the destruction to a nations shaky peace.

Blue Ridge Mountains: Virginia

In 1887, the first settlement of mythical creatures settled in this mountain range. They claimed a remote section of territory to house around 15 creatures indefinitely. Every building was uniquely created to allow most species to enter and comfortably fit, though they had yet to welcome any truly massive dragons. As the village grew, the founders managed to incorporate buildings into the trees as a natural barrier to outsiders. Houses spiraled up through trees and clung to branches to create a whimsical look that complimented the forest.

By 1987 the village had grown far more than originally anticipated. Many were delighted by the success, but having such a large population would take it’s toll in the years to come. By the 21st century many in the village did not have a home of their own. Overpopulation had strained their resources to the brink, forcing many to consider leaving the only sanctuary within 500 miles.

Still in the village, great unrest boils at the surface. News of humans moving in closer has spread panic across their civilization like you may spread butter on toast. Without a real defense system the council was forced to consider a draft. Many younger creatures have been forced to leave the secluded area for a training camp over 15 miles away and across a highway.



Welcome to the Abiete Village.

Forest surrounding Abiete village.
Mythical Freedom force, and mercenaries/MFFM
​

Jan Tracker led her team through the morning lit forest. The group was on their way to a mythical village that was supposed to be around here somewhere. "SHUT UP ALREADY"! Shouted Logan. The werewolf's left eye was twitching slightly showing off his real annoyance. Logan didn't put up with much, and Midas had been ranting about a stupid concept. Jan liked to stay impartial during the arguments her team shared, but she did agree with Logan. Midas the Minotaur however was not disheartened. "I'm telling you guys the earth is flat. Have you ever seen the edge of it. Everybody used to know that. Know they've got new ideas". Logan cut him off.

"Nope. Be quiet we're talking about something else" insisted the werewolf. Jan let out a sigh of relief before realizing the last member of her team, Ghoul the draugr was stuck in a bush, again. "Midas, get Ghoul" commanded Jan. Midas obliged and picked up Ghoul by his helmet. Which was permanently fused to his head. Ghoul grunted in his nonchalant normal manner. The group continued to walk. Logan with his gun out ready to blow any human that tried to follow them full of holes.

That was until they had been walking a good few miles and they finally saw the edge of Abiete village. The group simply walked in as they did Jan gave a few demands. "Alright boys here's the drill, don't cause any trouble. Midas, Logan keep Ghoul out of anything that might cause a ruckus, and Logan don't start any arguments Midas you're allowed to punch him if he does" she said. Going off to find whoever was in charge while the three male MFFM members went to simply explore around.

Rebecca watched her students with dismay. They had been trying to practice basic telekinesis- levitating matches and things like that- but it wasn't going well. Many of the children were struggling, and one poor dryad had somehow managed to turn herself into a china cabinet. The lich was going to have to get someone who could fix that.

"Focus, focus! You need to concentrate to be able to do magic, it isn't something you can accomplish on the spur of the moment!" However, it didn't seem that her message was sinking in, and she breathed a sigh of relief when the bell rang. Another teacher came in to help with the transfigured student, who thanked Rebecca as she left on her own two legs. She was going to need to head somewhere after school and get herself a liquid dinner. And a mop, she mused at a new bit of rot in her stomach. Why me?

Nonnie, Abiete village, Doctor's office
Nonnie Smiled at her patient, a small goat boy who had sprained his leg while playing earlier today. "Now, George." She spoke kindly as she grabbed a bandage and began gently wrapping his leg up. "You're gonna have to be extra careful as this heals. My magic can only do so much." She smiled widely as the boy nodded.

She slowly pulled herself away and looked back at the x-rays on her screen. "See, in the first picture here." She pointed to the first x-ray, one of a very clear fracture in the bone. "This was your leg without my magic, it would have taken a very long time without my help." She then pointed to the second picture. " And here is your leg now. See how there is only a small break here?" The bones in the picture looked almost nothing alike, of course, it was definitely the child's leg, but it was as if she had taken a picture of the wrong leg in the second photo. "You need to be extra careful to make sure that small break will heal correctly." She watched the boy as he nodded.

"Good, then I'll see you in two weeks to see how everything is going." She walked back over to the boy, helping him down from the observation table. "And here, have a candy for being such a good patient." Nonnie smiled brightly as she grabbed the small candy basket she had and held it out for the boy to take a piece. Once he did she placed the basket back and lead the boy out the door to meet back up with his parents.


Ruko, Abiete village
Ruko was busy as always, delivering mail to the many, many different residents of the village. It was also the most dangerous part of her day. She not only had to watch for being stepped on, but she had to be careful not to accidentally stab anyone while she made her rounds.
(I know hers is short, I'll add more to hers next post)

Willock, wandering Forest
Willock wandered the nearby forests outside the village, he had no intent to enter the village today so he bided his time by wandering aimlessly. His thoughts raced through his head, some leaving before he can even process them clearly. His body slouched as he ducked under a tree branch and continued on his way, only pausing when he heard voices off in the distance.

For a moment his curiosity perked and he looked up at the souls who headed in the direction of the village. "Strange..." Was all he barely spoke as he watched the group for some time before looking away and going back to his wandering.

Lucas, Outer gates of Abiete village
Lucas stood guard at the outer gates of the village, his body stiff as he did his best to not become distracted, though his attention did get pulled away as he stared down the occasional bug or imaginary object. Which, if he did get distracted another guard quickly pulled his attention back to the job on hand.

After at least a few hours of hard concentration, Lucas noticed something moving in the distance and let out a low bark. "Hey, Look!" Lucas called to another guard who brought his attention ahead of him and growled some. "Wait here!". The other guard spoke quickly as he ran behind the walls of the village, possibly looking for a list of sorts or the captain to see if they were expecting anyone today. Of course, the more Lucas thought about it, they didn't really have to be on the list, they only had to promise they weren't gonna cause trouble while here.

Seeing the group get closer to the village. Lucas stepped forward and in front of the entrance to the village. He let out a low growl and flicked his tail off the ground as he spoke up to the group. "State your business here travelers!" His ears laid back some as he stared down the group with pupil-less eyes.

Outside of Abiete Village
MFFM
​

Jan stopped. Well they weren't totally useless although their guards weren't as terrifying as they could've been. A guard dog. Logan held his gun and gave a wolffish growl. "Had to be a fucking dog" he said. Jan made him lower the weapon. "No trouble remember boys. We just came to help. So if you'd be so kind" she said. Flicking her tail to the side as a cue to be let past.

Someone else might've felt a tad intimidated by a group of guards but Jan's team had felled a giant before. They were four highly trained mercenaries, well three highly trained mercenaries and Ghoul. The draugr sat down and started to chew on it. Midas put in his two cents. "We were alerted there was a venture in this place that could require our services" he said. Logan rolled his eyes and leaned on a nearby tree.

Nash - Abiete Village
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The skinwalker was hungry. Very hungry. He couldn't hunt last night because of a pixie with a broken wing. I don't think they realized how much time it took for a witchdoctor to heal those things. But he did it nonetheless and fell asleep directly after.
Now Nash wanted to go get a meal before the sun went down; it was already starting to sink. He huffed and when he left his little hut that was near the walls of the village, he hurried to the bushes and transformed into his wolf state.
Now a huge black canine, he trotted towards the gate of the village, only to be dismayed by a group of four blocking his path and stealing the guards' attention. He laid down off to the side, waiting for them to leave so that he could fit through. He took a big sniff of the air and with a skeptical flick of his tail, he realized they weren't from around here.

Morgan- Abiete Village Pond
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moragn had shed her clothes and was floating on her back in the pond. Water was the only thing that made her feel peaceful these days, it seemed, and she felt more free without her clothes. Her eyes were open and she was just staring up at the sky, though you couldn't see it much with the trees surrounding the pond. She took a big breath and dove under water. The pond was much deeper than it seemed, though she was one of the few who could hold their breath long enough to reach the bottom. So she did, and when she reached the bottom, hiding among the water plants and sunken drift wood, she stayed there for a few minutes, watching the fish swim by, finally notice her, and scurry off. She let off a delighted chuckled when she resurfaced.

Lucas, Outer gates of Abiete village ---> Following MFFM
Lucas let out a deep growl when one of the group began to hold up a gun before his mate had him lower it again. Lucas' eyes narrowed on each of the group, scanning them fearlessly. After a moment of silence and Lucas listening closely, he stood up straight and turned his head back toward the gate looking up at the other guards who had gathered around the gate entrance waiting for a command that Lucas was not ready nor wanting to give. Those who knew him knew that he hated letting strangers into the village, especially with how crowded the village was already.

One of the larger guards and his commander, a chimera, nodded his head to let them through. Lucas seemed upset with the command but abided and sharply turned his head back to the group before speaking once again, his voice still letting out a soft growl, but much calmer. "You may enter, but don't cause any trouble or harm."

With those words, he quickly turns and padded his way back to the town gate, walking up to the chimera as the other guards quickly went back to their posts and activities. "You don't trust them?" The chimera spoke softly so Lucas could only hear him. "No, why should I?" Lucas huffed out obviously upset. The chimera stood silent for a second, waiting for the group to pass before speaking again. "Then follow them, make sure they don't cause any harm to anyone."

Lucas seemed surprised by him commanders words but before he could speak up about it the chimera walked away to get back to his duties. Lucas quickly regained his composure and soon made his to the group, following them from the shadows and hiding in the crowds of the village.

Abiete village
Midas, Logan, and Ghoul
​

The group separated as planned once they had left the gate behind. Jan padded off towards the larger buildings while the other three simply wandered around. "Well that guy seemed kind of" said Logan but Midas cut him off. "Quiet, brooding, hostile....slightly depressed" guessed the Minotaur. Logan sighed. He wished Jan would've let him go with her, because with these two there was no chance for any kind of intelligent conversation. "Ghoul" said Logan nonchalantly.

The draugr was walking towards a unicorn curiously. Midas grabbed the left horn of his helmet. Dragging him away from the unicorn and back between them. "There's gotta be some interesting way to pass the time around here" said Logan.

Midas looked around and shook his head. "Doubt it. This doesn't look like a place that condones mortal combat" he said. "What is wrong with you" said Logan. Midas looked reminiscent. "It was a thing we did in Ancient Greece. Oh those were fun" he said. Logan face palmed. Ghoul gave a non intelligible moan. Logan sighed. This was gonna be fun.

Abiete village
Jan
​

Jan left the guys to look around, and let out a sidelong glance. A giant gloomy looking wolf. Creepy. It was as big as she was. Strange. She mostly ignored it and padded into town. Large buildings for large, and hopefully important creatures. Well it'd be a helpful proposition offering to escort the drafted ones through human territory. It would make sure the MFFM did the first half of their title. Helping mythical kind against humans. She just had to find the boss of this town first.

The forest surrounding Abiete Village

Cinéal was conversing with the forest. Making sure the village and the people inside it weren't infringing too much. As plant given power and sentience she felt it was a responsibility of hers to make sure the ones who couldn't speak with the forest at least had an inkling as to the feelings of the area they stayed in. She was comforting an oak that had recently Lost some branches to a few of the young hooligans that lived within the village when a ripple of slight annoyance came through to her. A group of armed creatures were heading to the gates of Abiete. One of them had been continually invading the space and privacy of many bushes. The annoyance was from a few of the more spiteful brambles. Cinéal tried to soothe them but it only went so far. So she went in search for the group of people in order to let them know they were causing a minor disruption to the forest.

She found them where she thought they'd be heading. At the gates of the village but instead of speaking she watched them from the treeline. They were already engaged with Lucas one of a few that guarded the gates entering and exiting Abiete. She hoped they were here for something that wouldn't require them to put to use their weapons.

The darker side of her fae blood drummed in a corner of her mind. She thought if only to herself that if they did require slaying she would be the one to do it.​

Forest surrounding Abiete village
​

Within the forest the sounds of a tree falling over can be heard, It lands with a crunch on the forest floor as leaves rained from the sky gently floating down. The tree ends up being dragged away by a grumpy roughed up looking troll, It's branches snapping off on any rocks or hard surface it bends against. After a while the troll lifts up the tree placing a now cleared off area of it on his shoulder walking like that the rest of the way as he ends up an small damp looking cave overlooking a river passing threw. Placing the tree down he got to work, he grabbed a sharp rock and started to strip the bark off it. After some time has passed he walked over to the the middle of the tree with an Axe made of sharp stone and a sturdy branch, he started to hack away at it trying to chop as cleanly as possible as the sounds would echo off the trees with in ear shot of anyone near by.

Lucas, Abiete village ---> Following MFFM
Staying low and out of sight, Lucas followed the group until they spilt up. "Damn..." He muttered under his breath as he considered who to follow. He huffed, deciding to go after the group of three rather than the one, hoping he made the right choice. He watched the group from the distance, doing his best to stay hidden between the crowds that passed by.

Ruko, Abiete village
Ruko was on her usual rounds, though she was running late on a particular order. "Excuse me! Sorry!" She rushed by a small crowd of people as she rushed ahead, being careful to not knock into anyone or accidentally stab anyone with her horn. "Coming through!" She called as she ran toward a large crowd, jumping over some of them only to land with a bit of a thud and continue forward.

Taking a sharp turn she felt her feet screech into the ground, "Watch o-" She didn't get the words out as she tilted her head away and braced for impact. Her tiny body rammed into the side of a creature much larger than hers. She coughed as she slowly stood and looked up to who she had run into, some of the mail she was meant to deliver fell to the ground after coming out of her bag. He looked like a ghoul of some sort, definitely someone she didn't know.

"Oh, um sorry about that..." She barely muttered out as she tried to make the incident less awkward by picking up the mail that had come out of her small mailbag.

Willock, wandering Forest ---> Forest Cave
Willock wandered for some time before his head rose to the sound of wood being dragged along the forest floor. He found himself turning and slowly making his way over to where the noise was being made. His mind was in a bit of a daze as he walked along the shallow trail the tree had dug into the ground, obviously where it had been dragged some. Soon the trail ended, but the sound of someone or something working on the wood brought Willock to the source of the commotion. Willock stood along the forest line toward the cave, staring at the troll with empty eyes.

It wasn't often he found others out of the protection of the village, but whenever he did they were always up to something interesting. Willock places his arm on the tree beside him, his body leaning some. "Working on something?" Willock's voice was rough and dry as if he hadn't spoken for days and had to force the words out.

The last bell of the day rang, and Rebecca put her things away. She didn't have to grade any assignments tonight, which her students were going to be very thankful for. Heading out of the school, she walked to her house, on the edge of town near the forest.

The dead woman heard a sound as she got home. It sounded like someone... hacking down trees? Walking into the woods, she saw a troll taking an axe to the trees. "Hi there," she said in a friendly voice. "Need a hand with that?"

Ghoul, Midas, and Logan-Abiete village
​

Logan's right eye twitched. It wasn't just because the impact of the rabbit caused Ghoul's loosely attached head to pop off. The sucky job from a few weeks ago was in the werewolfs mind. "Nope, not doing this. I'll get his head". Said Logan. Walking off grumbling angrily. Even though this creature wasn't exactly a jackalope. It was a Horned rabbit and that was close enough. Midas shook his head and looked down. Unintentionally dwarfing Ruko. "Sorry about him. He's.....you know what, that's just how he acts. Don't worry about Ghoul. Happens all the time. He's been dead for about twenty thousand years, he loses his head all the time" said the Minotaur. Midas put the pole of his axe on the ground and offered a handshake. Not quite realizing that Ruko was quadrapedal.

Forest cave​

The axe chops clean thru the log as her turns his attention to willow. He can see his broken teeth and scared up face, 4 sharp horns come from his head but one of them is broken. "what's it to ya. i'm always working on som'thing." he grabs one of the logs as he notice Rebecca coming do towards the cave as he lets out a sigh. "If i expected company i'd toss a party" he says grumpily "but since you both e're how bout one of ya grab me a whetstone will the other picks up that scrap up and make a fire'r" he said his voice sounded raspy and dry. he places the log down against a tree then grabs a smaler tool. "if it any constellation em make en a canoe for the village. i ope it works out" he starts to get to carve the long on the ground "names odric, an yes em a frost troll"
