frozen hands, black fangs, a shiver across the graveyard.

Her name was used in a cautionary tale. A savage creature in Skydancer form stalking the graveyard, taunting and teasing those who ventured in. A dark shadow, slinking between twisted trees and out of control bushes. Always just on the edge of someone’s vision.

But she wasn’t real. Merely a made up being, created to keep hatchlings from wandering into the graveyard. The thing about hatchlings, though, is that they rarely do what they’re told to do. Especially when it comes to doing things they shouldn’t.

Of course, they went into the graveyard. Never on their own - usually in groups of two or three. They’d wander between the rows of gravestones, giggling and wondering what this “Freybug” might look like. Maybe she had black fangs. Or perhaps she was cold…colder than ice. Maybe the temperature dropped whenever she was near. And what of her familiar…what would suit her? Something fierce - a wolf perhaps.

They say, however, that there’s a strange magic in Felhallow’s graveyard. Things that seem to appear out of thin air, whispers on the wind…that sort of thing. And what if that magic somehow got caught up in the whispers and rumours?

Well…who knows? What is certain, and some adult dragons have seen it with their own eyes, is that a dark shadow now stalks through the graveyard, slinking between twisted trees. Taunting and teasing those who enter.
