Kinktober #2
Cirque des Rêves Oubliés a mysterious travelling circus has come to the small town of Eldersfield in October. When the town and the circus both hold their own mystical secrets, each day of the month promises to be memorable in more ways than one
The ‘first families’ of Eldersfield have always had their strange traditions from ‘the old country’ even if no one ever says what country that is. Every year in October they celebrate the Wild Hunt. A member of the town’s community is chosen for their innocence and purity to play the role of ‘The Hart’. Dressed in antlers and sent running through the dark woods around the town, chased by ‘The Wolf’. It’s an open secret that the ritual usually ends with the wolf catching the deer and the primal they have in the woods is a fertility rite that blesses the whole town.
This year Deryn has been chosen to play the Hart. Quiet, artistic and often bullied he’s always sought to find his place in the town. Especially since he was raised by his cousins after his parents’ mysterious disappearance and presumed death. He originally wanted to refuse the role until he learned that his mother had once been the deer and his father had been her wolf.
You were good childhood friends with Deryn, even though you grew apart in recent years. None the less, you’re the one he chose to play the role of the Wolf for him. What will happen when you chase him down?
