A desperate people once made a monstrous bargain with a demon, and monsters they became.

Genre: Fairy Tale

Alert: This episode contains mention of harm to human babies, comparable to what can be found in classic fairy tales such as “Hansel and Gretel.”

Excerpt: Legend says that the draugamunninn were once human. They were a practical but severe people who after suffering one terrible winter too many, and after failing to feed themselves with their own hands and their own labor, began to pray to their old gods for relief. But their prayer was not answered by a god.

It was answered by a demon.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. An illuminated letter “D.” Contained within the letter is a bearded man, facing forward, standing beside the curve, in stylized rays of sunlight, holding a baby in his left arm against his chest, and a dagger in his outstretched right arm. His dagger is plunged through the neck of a humanoid creature lying in right profile along the bottom curve of the letter. The creature is completely white. Its long tongue extends out of the mouth. Its tail curls out of the bounds of the letter, ending in a tip that points up. The right leg is bent up so that the long toes of the foot are seen resting along the edge of the letter. The man’s cloak also extends in front of the letter, its fur hem lying out of bounds. Watermark of the word “Storyfeather” along left edge of the square box containing the main part of the letter.
