Backstory
The hunt begins.
As the sun gave way to the moon, and the villagers retreated to bed, unearthly howls began to sound from the depths of the Black Forest, echoing across the dark meadows into the villagers' cabins.
And in one such cabin sat a little girl named Ruby, swaddled up in her red hooded cloak. Propped against the wall beside her was a dreadful hulk of a scythe, its edge glimmering against the lucent beam of the moon.
Each night, the girl would pray for the return of the hero who saved her and her village years ago—the legendary hunter, Roger. It was he who drove the murderous Wolf King, Whitefang, and his pack out of the Black Forest. He did stay to train the villagers how to fight the wolves, only to leave soon thereafter without any notice and with no trace of his whereabouts.
But Ruby seemed ill-fitted to keep praying and waiting, for the chivalrous knights in fairy tales rarely do come to life in times of need. On one quiet, moonless night, Whitefang and his wolf pack slithered into the unwary village, thirsting to avenge their bloody defeat years ago. And on that same night, just like the thousand nights before it, Roger never came.
Ruby's grandparents tried to chase the wolves away from her, but the beasts butchered them with barely any pause. The girl narrowly escaped the bloodbath, but her little heart could not fathom the sheer savagery she had just witnessed. The only family she knew lay lifeless before her, disfigured and nigh unrecognizable. A tiny flicker swelled in her eyes and soon blazed into a hellfire of hatred… the meek little girl was no more.
Fuelled by a sudden burst of rage, Ruby got back on her feet and picked up the massive scythe leaning on the wall. She launched herself onto the wolves, as if dazed in a trance, slaughtering each one and all but wiping out the entire pack. Only Whitefang was able to withstand the onslaught, but even he could not believe what he saw. The girl's violent rampage betrayed the turbulent storm brewing beneath her timid appearance. Whitefang might have eluded defeat that night, but the cost of that battle proved dire enough to keep him at bay for years to come.
As the Wolf King slinked back into his den, Ruby gradually came back to her old self. With the dawn slowly rising over the horizon, she vowed to make a happy ending for every story that told the lives of good people.
And yet, it seemed like her heart never healed. For every now and then, she would hear wolves howling from afar… and the fires of rage would light her eyes up once again.
