The Cursed Grifix

The legend says there was a castle servant during King Umbra’s reign. When she looked at the village and saw the misery the grifix were living in, or at the poor warriors that almost lost their soul in the torture their king got them through, and had no more will, her heart broke and a great rage grew inside her. She soon came to hate the king for what he was doing to the grifix and the forest.

One night, she went to feed the war prisoners, a bunch of deer. When she saw how awful they looked after the tortures the king got them through, how thirsty and hungry they were, she couldn’t take it anymore. The fury inside her became uncontrollable and she lost all senses. She ran to the king’s room unnoticed and entered. While the king was sleeping, she took a sharp knife and stabbed his heart, killing him instantly.
After that, she came back to her senses. But seeing what she has done, an unbelievable terror surrounded her mind. She jumped out the window and filed away as fast as she could, terrorized by her crime.

Dark clouds covered the moon and a sudden wind started blowing her out of the sky. A storm started out of nowhere, one like theree was never seen before. A huge thunder stroke across the sky and hit her right in her gems. She lost consciousness and fell from the sky. The ancestors punished her for her unforgivable crime. A dark curse laid now upon her.
When she woke up, her wings and sphirix were gone. She dragged herself into a cave and laid there barely breathing. She knew that what was worse was next to come.

She was cursed to relive the night when she killed the king every single night in a dream she could not wake up from, and could not avoid falling into, for an eternity. Even now, over 1000 years later, she’s trapped in the same curse, being lucid only during the day, and reliving the worse day of her life during the night.

They say that no filly should adventure in that part of the forest during the night, for The Cursed Grifix, overwhelmed by her nightmare, will mistake them for the king and stab them with her long claws.
