Shadows Of Twilight

Be prepared for a whole new kind of twilight...

Plot #1;;
Before times of written history, the fierce warriors of the Bruce clan protected the good people of Blackwillow, Scotland. For many years they lived in peace with the surrounding clans. But Roman invaders worried the leader of the Bruce Clan, Duncan. His wife advised him to journey to the mountains to seek an immortal oracle known as Arwydd.

He took her advice and traveled days until he reached the scared oracle. She had a vision that a pestilence would befall the people of Blackwillow if no one stopped the Roman advance. When Duncan threw himself at her doorstep and begged for her intervention she agreed, but the solution would be on her terms and he would not question the outcome. Duncan agreed he would follow her instructions to the letter.

Arwydd asked that on Samhain, a festival, Duncan gather the strongest of his warriors. Once the festival had ended she would perform a ceremony to ensure that the people of Blackwillow would never fear invaders again.

On the night of the ceremony, each warrior was marked by Arwydd with a tattoo. The clan symbol was a wolf with a thistle in it's mouth, so it was only natural that Arwydd chose the spirit of the wolf to guide the warriors in battle. The tattoo that she branded them with was a wolf pawprint. She then gave each warrior a drop of liquid, she claimed would give them the strength and power of the wolf.

After the ceremony the warriors fell asleep around the embers of the Samhain bonfire and dreamed strange dreams. They dreamed they had changed into wolves and crashed into the Roman camps, and utterly demolished the invading army. It was so realistic that they would later claim they could taste the blood of the Roman soldiers.

The warriors woke the next morning covered in blood and their clothing in shreds around them. Reconnaissance showed that indeed the Roman army had been wiped out by an unseen force...ripped to shreds was more appropriate. When Duncan confronted Arwydd about the dream, she simply smiled and stated that she had solved the problem, just as he had asked.

She went on to explain that anytime the people of Blackwillow were threatened, the spirit of the wolf would enter the offspring of the Bruce Warriors.

The Battle of Culloden on April 16, 1746 happened not 15 kilometers from Blackwillow. Even that far away, the smell of death and blood seemed to seep into their village. Unfortunately, the blood attracted something far worse than the invading English. The strange group started to show about 3 days after the battle. They called themselves the Virsolace family. The Virsolace were the only ones who seemed excited by the carnage.

The townsfolk were entranced by their ethereal beauty and pleasing manners. It wasn't until their true nature came out that the pleasure turned to terror. The Virsolace were vampires and once the supply of dying soldiers ran out they turned on the townsfolk.

The Bruce Warriors once again awoke and a savage battle for the souls of Blackwillow commenced. In the end the Warriors drove out the vampires, but the Virsolace swore they would return and claim this land as their own.

It has been over 200 years since the battle the sleepy town of Blackwillow has long since forgotten the brave Warriors that protected the town and its people. Their tales are now town legend only to be told in the town pub. Werewolves and Vampires are nothing more than fairytales...or are they?

A hauntingly beautiful family has moved into Blackwillow, followed by a savage past and terrorizing hunters bent on bloodlust. Will Blackwillow again be a battleground for good and evil? Is good and evil as easy to define as black and white or are there too many shades of grey? Will the sinister Volturi, have to step in and settle the peace or fuel the fire?

Plot #2;;
In ancient times, when the world was still young, there lived a god who sat in the sky and called himself Dia. He was everything that was good, and overlooked his creation with happiness. Underneath this earth world lived Osiris who looked upon the world angrily because he was forced to sit in a throne below the glorious sun.

Osiris, wanting the glory that Dia possessed, challenged Dia. He beckoned him down to the forests of the earth and proposed a challenge for Dia. Osiris said to Dia that if he is as great as he claims to be he will build an army of children of men to compete against Osiris' best. Dia accepted on the terms that the winner would live above the earth, in the light of the sun and the salt of the seas, while the loser would go forever below the earth.

On the day of the battle, the Children of Dia annihilated Osiris' men and, as promised, sent them into the very depths of the earth, down below the mountains and seas. And there why would remain.

Osiris, furious with his defeat, decided that he would fool Dia. He built a guard of three immortal body thieves. He then commended them to sneak above to the sky world and take the blood from the divine children. After being wrung of their blood, the Guard would inhabit their body and fool Dia into giving them the land. But Dia knew better. He had a Front of equal power waiting for the Guard when they emerged from the earth. The Front fought the three warriors across the world until the Guard was exhausted and were left on the sands of Egypt to die.

It is said that when the Front came back three days later to collect the bones of the Guard, the three bodies were gone. With the three warriors hidden in the folds of the world, the Front knew the immortal Guard of Osiris would not sleep till the blood was wrung from the bodies of the Children of Dia. It was then the duty of the Front to protect these sacred children.

The duty was passed through the bloodlines until it stopped on three youths from Arcadia-- Porsche, Casca, and Syracuse. Mysteriously beautiful, and age never changing, these three became "The Arcadian Front" and, in time, they would face their enemy; The Ishtar Guard.

In Egypt, the Ishtar Guard planned their revenge. After years of body hopping, the spirits of the Guard rested upon three Egyptian vampires, Akil, Set, and Sekani with Akil as their leader. And the massacre began.

With three of the Children of Dia living peacefully in Blackwillow, the Isthar Guard make their way for Scotland. They hide themselves on a remote islands off the coast of the mainland. But they won't stay hidden for long. With the Warrior pack, The Virsolace, the Lacroix, the Volturi, and The Arcadian Front all within close proximity of one another, there's nowhere to hide.
