STORY
Noose, Knife, Spats, and Spades,
With a city clamoring unknowingly just outside the gates,
A heartwrenching tragedy befalls the manor of the Weiss family.
The bygone Mother and father, deemed merely suicidal.
And at the age of only 11, their dearest Edelmira is left with a heavy new world on her shoulders.
-----
Only three years since the day, in a world that hasnt felt quite right to me since, worrisome events are stirring our bleak days.
The local rumor is werewolves did it.
And that creatures of the night are finally here to take humanity.
My servants say otherwise, but, the papers are filled with reports of murders and kidnappings. so visceral- my mind can't help but raise questions.
The town is in great unrest, and for no merciful god would allow this to happen to us-
A peculiar idea starts stewing among the populace.
"For our god is found unfit, we can succeed him and take destiny into our own hands."
A curious line of torches reflected in a blazing river, a mob marching out of town.
Myself, a young mistress of the manor, left with a great fortune and many questions.
A coup d'etat for godhood and a gamble with the devil.
Two loyal maids,
A man proclaiming to be a hunter of "other" sorts,
A con man,
And a mysterious force we feel suffocating us all.

This is my first time taking on a project and writing anything major like this! I'm mostly doing this by the seat of my pants, with little experience and some knowledge of what I want to with this, so i'm excited to see how this evolves through the month! All critique/feedback/questions are very welcome!
Good luck with NaNo 2017 everyone!
