Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was one of the most well renowned classical composers of the romantic era. With many of his works being transcribed into other genres and crossing over into modern music. Of particular note are the ballets Tchaikovsky wrote. The Nutcracker being a Christmas favorite. Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty being performed throughout the year. These three were thought to have been the only ballets written. Then in 2079 a lost score and libretto of the stage work were discovered for a missing fourth ballet. The Vampyre, allegedly written shortly before Tchaikovsky's death and based on The Vampyre (An extract from the Giaour) by Lord Byron.

But first, on earth as vampire sent,

Thy corse shall from its tomb be rent,

Then ghastly haunt thy native place,

And suck the blood of all thy race.

There from thy daughter, sister, wife,

At midnight drain the stream of life,

Yet loathe the banquet which perforce

Must feed thy livid living corse.

Thy victims ere they yet expire

Shall know the demon for their sire,

As cursing thee, thou cursing them,

Thy flowers are withered on the stem.

Wet with thine own best blood shall drip

Thy gnashing tooth and haggard lip;

Then stalking to thy sullen grave,

Go—and with Gouls and Afrits rave;

Till these in horror shrink away

From Spectre more accursed than they!

The ballet was in truth not discovered but instead had been held since Tchaikovsky's death by one Stribor Volkov. A nasty blood sucking scumbag. He had been waiting for years for mana to return and restart mojo in the world. Also he needed a very special person to dance the role in the ballet. A ballerina both skilled for the part yet also magically active and able to perform the conjuring ritual the dancing would release.
Stribor chose none other than our very special Gigi, a prima ballerina and wizbanging mojo slinging shaman. She's also a little hottie.

>>>The Boy Dubois<<< Yo Stumpy you promised to keep that under wraps... but anyway...
Gigi determined by studying the ballet and figured out what the ritual would do. She never really explained the mojo part, only saying that it would be bad. She somehow kept her knowledge secret from Stribor the scumbag and after negotiating for the ballet to be produced she rehearsed and practiced her arts.
As the ballet progressed Gigi opened a magic portal gate rift thing on stage and this allowed a huge blood spirit that would have as rumored since Gigi is so tight lipped would have made blood sucking vampires an order of magnitude stronger. The spirit sniffed for lack of better word at Gigi grumbled something in magic lingo and looked pissed. Gigi smirked back and with a snap called her huntsman and hounds spirits to take on the blood spirits minions while she engaged in astral combat with the spirit to totally and permanently destroy it. Weird thing about the gate is that it allowed all of us poor mundane people to watch and see.

Needless to say Gigi won, otherwise your humble narrator, that is me would not be here to tell the tale so far told. Don't worry though Stumpy, Jacen and I got Stribor, granted Stribor had some she vampire kick my ass across the floor and back again, but Stribor got diced in half and died. The vamp girl did take off with a face full of silver dust and a mixture of wooden slivers. We haven't found that slitch yet, but we will. Oops time to go...
