#Wolfsbane saga

[joncronshawauthor]

The Fall of Wolfsbane (Ravenglass Legends, book one) - chapter one (excerpt)

Chill wind bit into Ragnar Wolfsbane’s knuckles as he gripped his shield and spear. He planted his feet into solid earth, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the shield wall with his brother warriors. Frost lay in the shadows, throwing blue ripples towards the patches of harsh sunlight. Ragnar braced himself with gritted teeth as his opponents smashed into him, shields clashing with shields,…

Summary: Stiles rolled his eyes but unraveled the fancy bow and ripped open the paper so he could open the cardboard box. He was met with the sweet and pungent smell of something, his whole body reacting viscerally as he saw a wolf's head. The fur was russet and brown, blue eyes milky, and mouth shoved full of bluish-purple flowers that Stiles knew were wolfsbane. A notecard was placed on top neatly like a card with a single word: Soon. or New Moon but Teen Wolf

NIMBUS TIMBER - The Millennium Saga [Firebreathers ; Echoseers ; Goddess-Touched]

My movement becomes a work of mindless automation, once the halls around are familiar enough for my mental organization of colored glass and unclear distance to guide me. A blessing, in that I don’t need to think-think-overthink to figure out where to go. A curse, in that I’m free to think-think-overthink every way the world could end in the time it takes me to find the neon blue, teal, evergreen, and gray door that hides Beta’s makeshift workshop. On instinct, my hands go to press the panels in a door left behind in the electrical-humming district of Little Wasi. To strike the pattern I wrote into my muscles bathed in morning mist and sleepless sunrises, one I learned so I could let myself in and wake the crone in the rafters in time for his repair shop to open.

Basics:

He/Him - Transgender Man

Bisexual - 21 (~23 on Earth)

First-generation Mae Ehlf - Water Mage

Heavily OCD-coded; chronic insomniac.

Where he begins:

Nimbus is awake when Ember returns home after midnight, but this is nothing strange. It's rare to ever find him sleeping, really, ever since their life took a nosedive and he managed to convince himself that if he never closed his eyes, nothing bad could ever happen again.

It doesn't work. But that doesn't mean he can stop doing it.

Luckily, his apprenticeship under the robotics engineer Beta Altiana has flexible hours. Even if that means working with a man with no regard for physical safety or lawfulness, two of the biggest triggers for Nimbus' paranoia.

But he can cope. There's only one front on which he has to deal with that, after all.

Right?

What he finds himself confronting:

When Ember decides they want to join the rebellion, Nimbus is adamant that they turn the rebels in for a bounty instead. It's safer on all counts, really, and maybe the guilt would eat him up alive, but that wouldn't be anything new, not after he lost track of time once and ended up with a dead sister and mortally wounded brother and years of blaming himself for—

But Ember wins the argument. And, just like he warned them, the consequences they shrugged off come raining down in a horrific mimicry of his deepest fears.

Now they all have to run. To abandon the only city they've ever known. To leave their lives behind.

If he has to leave because of Ember's rash decisions, he's going to make one of his own.

He's bringing Beta with them, regardless of his status as an international fugitive.

Important connections:

Family: Ember (twin), Autumn, Dusk, Ash, and Oak Timber. Formerly Luka, Akari, and Starlight Timber, and Lileya Wolfsbane (all deceased)

Friends: Andy Meywin (best friend) and Beta Altiana (the man he apprentices under)

Compre também um boneco Vaelotar Profissões: lobo !!

Kylo Ren (Star Wars): assim como o terror dos Jedi, Lotar teve origem numa família poderosa e temida, e têm uma linhagem marcada por poder e temor. Vaelotar é filho do Lobo Mau, um vilão cruel e implacável, enquanto Kylo Ren é o neto de Darth Vader, um dos vilões mais icônicos da saga "Star Wars". Ambos foram criados em ambientes hostis e tirânicos, sendo que Lotar teve que aprender a ser cruel e astuto para se destacar. Já Kylo Ren cresceu sob a sombra do Lado Negro da Força, sendo treinado pelo Líder Supremo Snoke e moldado pela influência do lado sombrio. Moralidade questionável: tanto Vaelotar quanto Kylo Ren têm uma moralidade questionável. Eles não hesitam em causar sofrimento e agir de forma violenta para alcançar seus objetivos. Suas ações muitas vezes levantam dúvidas sobre suas verdadeiras intenções e lealdades. Ainda, os dois são movidos por desejo de poder e vingança e enfrentam conflitos internos, tentando encontrar um equilíbrio entre escuridão e luz dentro de si mesmos.

Cassian (Corte de Espinhos e Rosas): habilidade em combate. Vaelotar possui uma natureza selvagem e é treinado para usar suas garras e presas para subjugar seus oponentes. Cassian é um guerreiro Illyriano e possui poderes de Illyria, além de ser um lutador formidável. Ele também é burro e gado que nem o Cassian.

Sandor Clegane, o Cão de Caça (Game of Thrones): além da natureza selvagem e ameaçadora, ambos os personagens precisaram usar de força e astúcia para sobreviver e têm figuras familiares que os afetam emocionalmente, tendo vivido infâncias marcadas pela crueldade e violência.

Com Godbrand (Castlevania), na ambição e desejo por poder, além das piadinhas inconvenientes. Com Billy Hargrove (Stranger Things), no humor instável e no comportamento autodestrutivo, sem falar nos daddy issues. Com Juma (Pantanal), na postura rústica e na dificuldade em confiar. Com Maximus (Tangled), na teimosia e no relacionamento com seu daemon (o Wolfsbane é o Flynn, óbvio). Com Edmund Pevensie (As Crônicas de Nárnia) por ser facilmente manipulável. Com Remus Lupin (Harry Potter) e Hyde (Wednesday) nos poderes. E com Logan Howlett (X-Men) na agressividade e sensação de solidão e isolamento.

Exploring the Tropes in The Fall of Wolfsbane

As readers, many of us find a certain joy in understanding the tropes that make our favorite stories tick. Tropes, after all, are more than just recurring themes or motifs in literature; they offer a shorthand that helps us dive deeper into the world of a book, understand its characters better, and appreciate the narrative’s nuances. They are the threads that weave together the tapestry of a…

Beware the Demon Bear! (New Mutants Review)

Hello, welcome to the House of Milesverse

This year, we saw the release of the satire (but actually based on a REAL story) film Cocaine Bear. Naturally, it led to a variety of memes and jokes about the titular character. Funnily enough, this year I also got to read a book about another evil bear.

That's right, folks!

Today? We will be talking about the Demon Bear Saga!

Who are the New Mutants?

The New Mutants was a graphic novel released in September 1982, created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod. Eventually in 1983, the New Mutants would gain their own book. The group focused on a young team of mutant students assembled by Charles Xavier.

The original roster was composed of Mirage (Dani Moonster), Karma (Manh Cao Xuan), Wolfsbane (Rahne Sinclair), Cannonball (Sam Guthrie), and Sunspot (Roberto Da Costa). Other members would join the team as well. This includes Cypher (Douglas Ramsey), the extraterrestrial Warlock, and Magik (Illyana Rasputin), who was the younger sister of Colossus.

The New Mutants' started out as a lighthearted story for X-Men fans. The inclusion of the Demon Bear saga kickstarts a serious adventure for the team. Luckily, our grizzly friend provides us with an interesting narrative.

The Bear Necessities for a Story

One character central to Demon Bear's mythology is Danielle Moonstar. She is a young Cheyenne girl with psychic powers. In particular, Dani has the ability to create strong illusions.

Dani believes that the Demon Bear is responsible for her parent's deaths. The large ursine creature wants to kill Dani. He spends a good deal of the saga trying to get to her.

In fact, Dani tries to face the demon bear herself but is wounded. She is sent to the hospital, accompanied by her friends. The other members of the New Mutants try their best to deal with the Demon Bear.

Unfortunately, this is not enough, and it drags them to another dimension. In an unfamiliar environment, the bear temporarily gets the upper hand. In the end, Magik uses her soulsword to defeat the demon bear, reverting it to its original form.

The demon bear's 'original' form was actually Dani's parents. Something had twisted the two into this monster. Dani eventually wakes up and is able to reunite with her parents.

Danielle Moonstar: Our Main Protagonist

There is a lot to say about Danielle Moonstar as a character. Throughout the story, she is distressed about the Demon Bear's arrival. The beast stalks her nightmares, and she is clearly afraid of them.

In spite of that? Dani does her best to try and stop it. She faces off against the Demon Bear alone. Even though she loses, she still tries to kill it.

That quality, facing your fear even if it means certain death, makes her a worthy X-Man.

The Demon Bear is a WORTHY enemy.

I think the Demon Bear on its own presents a pretty scary threat. Can you imagine being in Magik's position? She's being hunted by this bear that wants to maim her. Heck, it goes through the troubles of infiltrating a hospital just to finish the job.

I think the Demon Bear's best feature however is its design. The bear feels so familiar and yet so different. The wonky art style really sells the Demon Bear and how otherworldly it is.

Right here, you see the Demon Bear's abilities. The creature has the ability to corrupt the minds, souls, and bodies of its victims. A police officer and a nurse are unfortunately cursed to become his minions.

It's even weirder afterward because the Demon Bear's defeat does not undo it. Both the sheriff and the nurse are permanently transformed into Native Americans.

As I mentioned before, it has the power to transport others into another dimension. It sent the New Mutants to the Badlands where it could do battle. That was also where it utilized it's minions.

Let's face it, Magik's kind of badass.

As I said, Magik is the younger sister of Piotr Rasputin, aka Colossus. She's a member of the New Mutants, one of the primary magic aids of the X-Men, and the occasional Queen of Limbo. Magik strikes fear in the hearts of her enemies with her vicious soulsword, a manifestation of her mystical powers.

Ultimately, Magik comes in handy against the similarly-mystical Demon Bear. She manages to undo the Demon Bear's twisted transformation, stopping the creature's rampage. It's awesome to see how Magik's able to help the team in the story.

Fun fact, but did you know that in an alternate universe, she would succeed Doctor Strange as Sorcerer Supreme? She even gets the cloak. Even now, she works as a teacher for the Strange Academy.

Conclusion: The New Mutants kind of rule?

The Demon Bear Saga actually made an X-fan of me. Of course, long before I read this, I at least liked some of the members. However, now I just want to sink my teeth into other well-written X-Men stories.

Honestly, I love the vibe of stories that mix superheroes and horror. It combines two of my favorite genres. In fact, this saga has the perfect blend between the two. While it may read as a horror movie in certain parts, it still presents the dynamic superhero action we've come to enjoy.

Overall, I hope you enjoyed House of Milesverse! I'll be back again with another X-Ceptional, Astonishing, and Uncanny discussion!

EMBER TIMBER - The Millennium Saga [Firebreathers ; Echoseers ; Goddess-Touched]

I pay my respects to the quiet rebellion by relighting the candles of their vigil. By snapping the leafy mark-pairs of one of the stolen wreaths out of the slotted wooden ring that held them, and leaving the ring among the other symbols of silent support. If I could do more, I would.

Basics:

They/them - Genderfluid

Biromantic Gray-asexual - 21 (~23 on Earth)

First-generation Mae Ehlf - Fire Mage

Where they begin:

We meet Ember on a busy street at the height of the Night Market in their hometown of Aree, picking pockets to make up the difference between the week's pay and rent at the inn their family is calling home for the time being. Orphaned at eleven, and losing their last remaining guardian at seventeen, they and their twin brother are the only ones caring for their five other siblings--a task made all that much harder after Ember quit the corps shortly after that number dropped from six, never making it to the front lines and never seeing a paycheck.

But if there's one thing they did get from the corps, it's an aim unlike anything Aree's ever seen in another archer, even their father.

What they find themself confronting:

When Ember picks from the same pocket twice in as many days, their conscience starts to kick in.

When they go to give some of what they stole back the next time they stumble on the poor soul, they're surprised with an entire wallet being pressed into their hands with an invitation to join the rebellion tucked between enough money to cover their rent for months.

They've been wanting to help. Now they can.

But are they prepared for what comes after?
