Cursed Tuft of Fur
.. ravenghast encounter: iadys
written by Disillusionist and Viviwren
507 words
She is known as the Soulcatcher: a dragon with the ability to pick souls out of the world of the dead, to bind them to a new vessel. Artificial ones work best, she has found: dolls, mannequins, marionettes....

There are those who are curious about this ability. They wish to study from her, to learn it for themselves. But many of them shudder when they see Iadys' own artificial body, and instead, they turn away.


In the days when Iadys still had her body, she sought out the Ravenghast. Through reality, through dreams...There were many times when she thought to turn back, but her dead lover's image intruded into her mind, and she knew there was nothing worth returning to. Not yet...

She could only go forward. And when she awoke with the feather one day, she knew her journey was almost over.

She called across the worlds to the Ravenghast.

The world began to melt away, and she was stunned at how easy it all was. Soon she would be able to pierce that veil, too. She hesitated only a moment before proffering her pearl, and then she spoke her wish--

"I wish for the ability to bind the souls of the dead."

An arcane circle flickers to life beneath Iadys as the Ravenghast tilts its head back, hungrily swallowing the pearl whole.

As it was for Lucia of Amber so too was it the same for Iadys...

The cathedral hummed and thrummed loudly. The sign of a heavy wish--a powerful burden. Souls that have found themselves trapped in this realm suddenly all howled to life and made themselves known--They protested. Fiercely, vehemently, they spat their bitterness to the winds in a display that railed against the grace of old gods.

The room reeked of hatred. A hatred so thick that it permeated itself as a spotted black mist--still somewhat between this world and the next. Because they dared not touch the Ravenghast, they turned their cowardly attentions unto Iadys instead. It was a sort of desperate, filthy clawing as they tried to spirit her away before her wish was bound.

Ah, but--the Ravenghast will always fulfill its pact.

Was that not how the saying goes?

From the moment they touched but a single thread of her mane, a powerful wave emitted from around Iadys herself. Outward and around from the flickering circle beneath her. It swirled round and round like a vortex of ill intent, cleaving the miserable apparitions some many times and filled the air with screams of their anguish and bitter regrets.

They lasted just long enough to see the ravenbourne magic flow into Iadys--a nightmare among nightmares. Pray that she does not look their way, for now she could bind them to fates worse than death. It was no small mercy for them be extinguished now by the raven thing, but... it would be far too late for those who came after.

There are distortions in these magicks...

But why was Iadys not warned like Lucia?

...and the pact has been sealed.

~ The End
