The old tale of The Puppeteer began in the early centuries, when a plague traveled across the world and took the lives of young children… The myth was that when a child fell ill, The Puppeteer would come to them as they slept, and steal their weakened soul, leaving the child’s empty shell of a body in an eternal sleep. The Puppeteer would then take the child’s soul and place it into doll, where they would be stuck in an existence between life and death.
But who was The Puppeteer? An angel whom guided the souls of children to salvation? A demon who fed on the spirit of a dying child? Or perhaps he was simply an old myth to help console grieving parents during an era when nothing could be explained...
Over time, the tale of The Puppeteer became a scary story, a warning used by parents so their children would eat their vegetables, wash their hands; all the right things to stay healthy, so that The Puppeteer would not come for them in their sleep.
Like all myths: Santa Claus, the Boogie Man, the Easter Bunny, Bloody Mary, The Puppeteer was simply a tall tale that you heard from your senile grandparents, or from an old book of monsters, or a creepy website you happened to come across...
And like all myths, I didn’t believe he was real… until he found me.

So I've been HAUNTED by this story and these characters in my head, so I thought I'd just get what I have settled down.
This is narrated by one of the main characters, I haven't decided which one. So far, I know three of the main characters. Two of them are The Puppeteer's dolls, a Marionette (girl) and a Ventriloquist (boy), and there's also going to be a blind lycan. (Yes, a werewolf who can't see well.) There's going to be gunslinging dolls and other such fun things. I'm in love with The Puppeteer at the moment, so there's going to be a lot of inspiration for this story. I want to turn this story into a series, generally around a high school where a lot of odd characters attend. This one is going to be about The Puppeteer and his flock. I haven't decided firmly on too many details (not even names) so I can't really write a firm introduction. Wish me luck, guys! >< Quickclick over to Marionette - Chapter 1: [link] |
