A crypto-horror folk-myth about a ravenous man-wolf thing called Wolfsbane who seems to be a mountain-predator...of human disorientation.
---- ==== A man wanders into the snowy Himalayas as a daring mountain explorer in the winter of 2010. His name's Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow). He's been working as a blood-diamond Interpol-relations infiltrator to cease terrorism-financing highways stretching from Africa to North America. Now, Storm-Shadow (Amlan Satan) has decided to trek the Himalayas and meditate on the possibility of peace. Alongside him is his mountain Nepalese trek-guide and newfound camping buddy Yuri who's been telling Amlan every night of the local folklore, very secret, of a mysterious man-beast named Wolfsbane. ---- YURI: Wolfsbane is a werewolf-thing with claws and red eyes and horns and gorges and pierces human flesh like a scythe. ---- Amlan is intrigued and even frightened by this awesome local Himalayas mountain-lore of this werewolf-thing called Wolfsbane. Amlan had read of such a 'moniker' or 'avatar' regarding werewolf mythology in Marvel Comics in North America, but that 'Wolfsbane' was a he-she cross-gender telekinetic pure werewolf, while this 'Wolfsbane' of the Himalayas, a werewolf-thing described by his Nepalese trek-guide Yuri, seems to be more of a raw fleshy hellraiser. Amlan wonders what this entity intends to create and the nature of his/its dominion in these daunting snowy mountains. ---- YURI: We must be wary of what Wolfsbane wants and what he/it intends to defend while frightening us away from here. ---- After some careful meditations, Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow) decides that he'll encourage/compel his Nepalese mountain-trek guide Yuri to help him find this werewolf-thing Wolfsbane in the Himalayas. Amlan learns that Yuri is quite timid and hesitant to pursue the creature, but Satan (Amlan) flashes the shy guide his Interpol gov't-work card and demands he do this trek-guide task on behalf of a real-life underground work-officer. However, the Nepalese guide continues to be hesitant and even attempts to offer Satan (Amlan) one final omen-warning to avoid such a natural and childish curiosity. ---- YURI: Wolfsbane is a gate-keeper of vanity, and he must be avoided/respected as a thing of evasion...not study. ---- However, Amlan remains undeterred and holds Yuri at gunpoint and demands he take him along on this vital mission to find this dangerous werewolf-thing named Wolfsbane. Yuri weeps for the both of them but has no choice and begins their joint-trek to find this Wolfsbane. After 2.5 weeks of trekking, Yuri brings the overly-curious Amlan to the cave dwelling of where Wolfsbane may reside/hide/lurk. The two venture in the cave with blinding UV-lights. After about 1 hour of exploration, Yuri/Amlan come face-to-face with the dreaded Wolfsbane, who lunges at the horrified Nepalese guide Yuri, gashing his eyes out and then punching a raw hole in his stomach with his clawed-fist, while Amlan flees with great speed and then straps on his skis to slide down the side of the mountain to a safe camping ranger office, vowing never to disclose or study this diagonal secret. ---- ==== "Money is everything" (Ecclesiastes) ![]() © 2021 Abishai100 |
