Fiction Activity Overview

Frozen in Winter
The Ancient ones watching all
Icy and bitter

The gods will arise
their followers are marching
across all the lands

An old frozen glacier
Northern lights fall on twilight
And coldness descends.

There the beast stood tall.
Yet but a shadow was it.
Ever changing form.

DO NOT FEAR THE DARK - A Selinian children's poem regarding the Caxqette.

...

Do not fear the dark,

for it’s the light they lurk within. They hide in plain sight, through smiles and a grin.

Do not fear the dark,

lest they smell all your fears. Potent and sour, the taste of your tears.

Do not fear the dark,

Selen grows hungry. The wilds thrash and drool, all violence portrayed bluntly.

Do not fear the dark,

A caxqette won't discriminate. Rich or poor, all kinds they will terminate.

Do not fear the dark,

It won’t make a difference. Brave or a coward, you pray it spares you this instance.

Look not to her den
the broodmother of life
She desires its warmth
and bathe in its strife

Speak not of birth
for the children not her own
The bringer of life
creates form from what is sown

Listen not to the call
that siren song she foments
It invites the unwitting
to her progeny's torments

- A brief canticle of Tunca Selenian origin
