Chapter One: The First Nights

Canon-Divergence/Canon-Complaint/Post-Canon/Non-linear Narrative

Reality is stranger than fiction, they say, and he was inclined to agree. Life was indeed filled with one oddity after another.

He remembers a story from his youth.

A story, that was ancient he was told, passed from the old to young about a Clan Leader of their own who had taken a human as a mate.

They had a child-who they called, the meaning of an end in the old language. Someone who should never have been-

An abomination-

The child was cursed. And because of it, she cursed the land. Cursed her clan that lamented her existence, cursed the humans who condemned her, and cursed her parents who had birthed her into a world that knew only hate and fear.

They called her- Hillevi.

Goliath never took the story seriously; he knew the ploy by then. The line drawn in the sand, humans stayed on one side and they stayed on the other, they were never supposed to cross it.

Well, he had never been one for superstitions.

I can't help but notice all that hair!

vwoosh:

Elisa Maza! The STRONG kick ass female lead in Disney’s Gargoyles, she was Native American and African (based of the ethnicity of her voice actor) and she certainly knew how to pull of a certain yellow dress too :P (submitting because she was and still is one of my fictional heroes, and quite nicely broke out of what was the norm in the 90s)

Storyboarding the opening sequence of Gargoyles for a class assignment! I watched the sequence a couple of times and wrote down the beats before jumping in. I stopped at 40 sec though, but I might come back and do the rest of the sequence if I have time. Alas, back to my grad project/portfolio!

I’ve always liked Angela :>

Enough. I’ve seen what I need to see. Me too. She’s my co-pilot.

I know this cold, as it knows me That clarion silence of winter, where all things must come to end

// Part 2

I don’t know why but for some reason I find the way Elisa says ‘easy for you to say with those wings’ and the little hand gesture she does with it inordinately cute
