Introduction
In the land of Xanthos evil reins and takes over the innocent peoples' souls. Ghouls walk with innocent ghost taken over by their master. The king of undead, Fluffy McFluffersburger III, yes we know Fluffy McFluffersburger III is the king of the undead; the name couldn't have gotten more ridiculous. But it makes us all wonder what really made him evil, because before this he was a scientist working to cure deadly illnesses next thing we know evil guy named Fluffy, the citizens of Xanthos (that know what is going on not the ones that have no clue about the evil lord stuff what so ever) all wonder if it was a lab test gone horribly wrong, or his name.
Your job is to stop the evil lord in any way you possibly can you will live a 'normal' life like nothing is going on around commoners, but secretly fight against the The Evil Lord and The Bane. Yes why didn't I mention this before? I did not mention it because The Bane is almost invincible; it lives trapped under the town by the silver gates. Only the key could open those gates and set the creature free in the town of Xanthos to torture defenseless innocent people. The Bane will literally smash you until you resemble some what of a pancake if you do not give it what it wants which is blood.
The first feeding allows it to get in your head no matter where you are. The second feeding allows it to see and hear what you see and hear. The third feeding and you will start fainting and doing things that you can't remember and by things I mean evil deeds. The fourth feeding and you belong to the bane your body, your soul, everything. But here's the catch it grants you a wish with each feeding. The bane is weak but can shape shift right now do not be deiced by it I will warn you but even when you haven’t given blood it can still get in side your head. The Bane will drive you out of your mind if it wants to, so heed this warning.
The Bane needs to be stabbed through the heart with a pure silver stake to be killed. But The Bane may kill you first because it is known for umm lets just say the word "pancake" comes to mind.
Rules and what not:
Don't god mod, power play (take control of others characters)
The Bane and Evil Lord are controlled by every one
Do not go around yelling "The Bane is going to kills us!" the others will be like okay then there is no such things as a Bane and that guy is psycho.
Do not cuss every other sentence.
This is placed in the middle ages no electronics.
You may have a few animals just don't make the entire thing about them.
No one liners it is much more interesting if you post more than one line and give us something more to reply to even if it is an observation of something insignificant.

Eliza's P.O.V
I looked up from the bar I was cleaning it was nearly dawn closing time no one was here but me. The dark night sky was lightening a bit. I yawned and put the rag down, then turned to used pint and shot glasses. I started washing them until every thing was done and I could leave. By now the sun had to be rising, I let out a long yawn and blew out the candles. I then walked to the door and switched signs to sorry, come back later. Then I closed the door and locked it behind me as I pulled my cloak on. Caesar was still tied to the post where I left him. I tiredly mounted him and rode off home. I took a right off of the main rode and kept riding until I saw my little house, it was two stories with four rooms not counting the attic and cellar. The pastures were waiting for Caesar and he knew it. All I knew at the moment was as soon as I untacked him, gave him water, and oats I would go to sleep. The summer breeze chilled me a bit so I hugged the cloak a bit closer to me. We trotted up to the front gate were I sleepily unmounted him and led him into the pasture, where I untacked him. I put the tack away in the empty stall next to his and grabbed the oats and filled his oat trough with them, then went out to the creek and filled a bucket of water and brought it to him. I locked the pasture gate and stepped in to the large hut I called a house and slunk off to my "bed" which consist of two large quilts for padding and a quilt or light blanket for heat. I had a dream that night a red haired woman with a lot of freckles was singing to me the only thing I recognized of her was her dark green eyes, my eyes. She sang "Hush my child hear the wind blow, mommy is here she will return when the blue song bird sings in the morning, "They bound the queen in her skin flesh and bones", hush my child hear me sing." When I woke up it was time for work. I dressed again, and got Caesar ready to go again. Then rode off for the bar.
Oliver's POV
I saw Eliza's grey horse first through the fog on this early summer night. Her green eyes glowed in the pitch black surrounding her the only light was the full moon and the stary sky above her. She rode closer I could see her out line. Something was different I could see a sparkling tear roll down her face. Her father had died about a month earlier. I decided to go the bar tonight since weird men tended to show up when there was a full moon.
I closed up and went into the bar there she was serving a man his drink. After a while a strange man walked in. I watched him closely, Eliza brought him his drink, he would call her sweets, after a while he grabbed her. Eliza screamed shrilly and I jumped out of my chair and yelled "Keep your filthy hands off a' her!" he man whispered "Now darlin' there's nothing to be afraid of, as for you back up a bit " The man removed his hood it was Nick we both broke out laughing. She said "Nick , you scared the life out of me!"
