(This isn't technically a part of the prompts, just a little drabble before the premise of the entire thing. Btw the entire series is canonically happening around Halloween or Halloweenish time. I'll also be including a picture of what kind of creature everyone is in case you dunno what they are.)



Beware the monsters who lurk and live amongst the world.


Beware of those who seek courtship from maidens.


For once a year the veil between worlds open and ghosts and monsters alike seeking blood under the moon. Red like the maiden blood monsters seek out. Widows never remarry. Young women accept no courtship. Young brides check your husband's identities before your marriage ceremony. For monsters will drag you away. For monsters will trick you. For monsters will impersonate your true love just to make off with a beautiful bride. So lock your doors up tight when the night of All Hallows Eve appears. Barricade all your windows. Block up any chimneys. Hide away in your deepest closest. Arm yourself with your finest weapons. Speak not a word and be silent. Sleep not a wink and keep alert for they were all spirit you away.


Mischievous far. Blood thirsty vampires. Carnivorous werewolves. Fire breathing dragons. Scheming demons. And so many more.


Those who refuse to heed the warnings are fated to die to be spirited away never to be seen again. So hide away and don't make a sound. Never answer the door no matter what. And above all else be weary.


Beware.


For those who don't believe in such things shall be forced to withstand the terrors of the moon born night and learn that there are truths in legends.
