(This is a fanfiction story based off The Dragon Prince. Specifically, Bloodmoon Huntress.)
Once, long, long ago in the Silvergrove, there lived a group of Moonshadow elves. But these weren’t normal Moonshadow elves, these were the Blood Drinkers, and they practiced forbidden magic. They would drink blood from elves and animals. The blood allowed them to enhance their magic and prolong their lives.
One day, an elf named Leera found out about these atrocities, and reported back to the assassins of Silvergrove. They tracked down the forbidden magic elves and killed them all, except for Kim’dael.
She was very powerful, like most Blood Drinkers, but she was also a very skilled combatant. She escaped with scars on her right cheek and forehead, with her left horn cut off as well. She wore a blood red skirt over a deep purple dress. A cloak of the same red as the skirt covered her back, and she had long mauve gloves with rips in them.
Moonshadow parents would tell children that Kim’dael, now known as the Bloodmoon Huntress, would hunt them down and drink their blood.
One day, Kim’dael found a Moonshadow child who was mad at the rest of the Moonshadow elves. Her mother was an assassin, and she was killed while doing her duty. Kim’dael nurtured the child’s hatred, and taught her to use forbidden magic.
Together, they had their revenge and their blood. They tormented the Moonshadow elves and used forbidden magic to seek more power. One day, an assassin slipped through the forest where the child, named Emina, was last reported seen a year ago. Her father had been searching for her for months.
Kim’dael and Emina worked together to defeat the assassin, using his blood to further enhance their powers. Emina felt satisfaction that possibly another child had suffered with grief like she had. But the next day, another assassin came.
As the assassin’s blade came whirling towards Kim’dael, she somersaulted over Emina. Instead of making contact with Kim’dael, the assassin’s blade connected with Emina. Angry at her betrayal, Emina first scared off the assassin, because now she knew everything she had been told by Kim’dael was a lie. Then, she faced off Kim’dael. Managing to gain the upper hand, Emina drained Kim’dael’s blood, and became known as the Second Bloodmoon Huntress.
