INTRODUCING A DESCENDANTS DASH EVENT
All Hallow’s Eve marks the time when the barrier between worlds is thin, and too many ghosts have walked the earth for anyone to say this story isn’t real. They say the Headless Horseman likes toffee, but he isn’t the problem this year.
They say that spirits who die violent, traumatic deaths have trouble moving on and the invasion took many lives that had yet to be fulfilled. The grief and trauma are still issues being dealt with by the population, spaces are still empties in stores even if the tribute pictures are gone.
Others say that a soul can’t rest until it’s body is at peace, desecrated graves and disturbed corpses being enough to pull someone back from their rest, leaving them disoriented and dangerous as they’re caught in a space between. Are they dead? Are they something else? Confused and hurting, they lash out - or that’s what the stories say.
Fortune tellers have long made a profit from offering their services, but not everyone claims to read the future. There are tarot cards and tea leaves, but there are also ouiji boards and people who claim they can talk to the dead.
Don’t play in a graveyard, they say, but all of Auradon is a graveyard these days.
As the veil grows thinner, the restless souls of those that have died in the past few months stir and tremble, coming to awareness. They were never buried, never burned, and their deaths came too quickly for any peace, some holding onto rage that still burns brightly in the night.
There are strong witches in the world, people like Claudine Frollo, and even if it’s not intentional, their magic reaches out to the dead with questions and regrets. Where is her magic from, why is it doing this? It seems the people with answers are dead, and the dead hear her calls.
The Headless Horseman is dead, yet he bursts into the world through the base of a tree. He causes no harm and is rarely seen, coming across as a myth to most, but others know of his existence. More importantly, the dead know he can escape, and they want their freedom. The tree that will release them from the pit of hell is out there and they will find it.
The mermaids have been returning bodies as they find them, but not all were returned, there are remains of the dead still scattered under water and across land, and some far from where they fell. Valeria is known as the bone girl and she’s gifted skulls to many people, leaving them in many places. They serve as bread crumbs now, beacons of light to their deceased owners who haven’t accepted their fate. The pile of bones that she’s collected in the catacombs serves as a lighthouse for the dead.
Those angry lost souls that had their lives cut down have heard the cries of their loved ones trying to reach out to them, they’ve been awakened by the pull of a witch’s magic. They can feel their bones out there, pulling to them and demanding to be found, serving as a connection to the living.
They’ve found the Horseman’s tree and now they break free to wreak their havoc on the world, Captain James Hook at the lead and Captain Armando Salazar chasing behind.
This event will run from now until November 8th and remember it’s appreciated if all related posts are tagged with #descspirits to make it easier for participating members to find!
