Stories of the Week
Village of Shadows
from Resident Evil VII
Long ago, a young girl went with her mother to pick berries for her father who was hard at work. But the forest greeted them with a dark, cold silence, the bushes empty. Yet, determined to find the berries, the rascal broke free from her mother’s grasp and vanished into the trees. Her mother’s worried cries faded fast as the girl ran on; over vine, and under branch and into the forest deep. Feeling strange eyes upon her, the girl recalled her mother’s scary bedtime tales and her throat became bone dry.
Then, the Bat Lord appeared! He greeted her warmly and bit his own wing.
“Come, child. Quench your thirst,” he said. So, she drank the thick, dark blood and smiled with joy.
Passing through the graveyard, menacing storm clouds loomed and the air turned bitingly cold. The girl was shivering in her thin clothes.
Then, a Dark Weaver appeared, and with a click of his fingers, crafted mist into a beautiful dress.
“Come, child. Warm yourself,” he coaxed. So, she clothed herself and smiled with joy.
Across waters deep and ominous she went, hoping a boat she found would carry her home. But hunger’s grip tightened and her heart grew heavy.
Then, the Fish King appeared and offered one of his many fins.
“Come, child. Eat your fill.” So, the girl ate and smiled with joy once more.
Continuing on, she soon entered the forest’s dark heart.
Then, an Iron Steed appeared, bearing a beautiful, golden gear. The creature said nothing as the girl approached and snatched what she thought was another gift.
The horse grew angry and summoned the other monsters. Terror filled the girl’s heart as a wild wind rose around the beasts. Suddenly, a witch appeared – dark, yet regal.
“Gifts we gave, but more you took,” she snarled. “So more, in turn, is due.” In a blink, the girl was trapped inside a mirror.
Her parents, though, had searched all day and at last, arrived. With rampant rage, her father fought the Witch while her mother’s loving touch shattered the dark enchantment. But the Witch was strong and the father yelled, “Save our daughter!” so, the mother bore their child to safety as the forest was consumed.
Even now, the burnt forest is a grim reminder of the father’s sacrifice. To this day, any child who stares too long into the charred wasteland will be haunted by nightmares of getting lost while picking berries.
