[QUOTE="Ash Mantle, post: 7548327, member: 11010"] [B]THE HAG [/B] [I]"Fiddle-dee-dum and fiddle-dee-dee, the old gray lady is after me."[/I] - children's rhyme, unknown origin [I]"Where are you, where are you, little miss Ann? In the pot, stewing with Seamus and Sam."[/I] - children's rhyme, unknown origin There exists within the bowels of the City a creature of fearsome reputation and hideous countenance. She is said to prey upon the orphans and the street urchins, the beggars and the destitute. Those who won't be missed, who have no one to mourn for them. It is said she consumes their bodies and eats their skin, leaving only rat gnawed bones. Still others deny this and contend that she merely eats the bodies, flaying the skin from their hides and wears it, such that she may blend in with the normal populace. And from there, she may target others to satiate her hunger and slake her thirst for blood. Others say that she does this not out of malice but for revenge, that her children were torn from her and so she robs others of theirs. Although this does not explain why she targets the poor and impoverished. She is the Grey Lady, the Hag of legend. Yet for all this, no one has actually seen her. Oh, there are claims and rumors of sightings but these are unconfirmed. She is alternatively said to be an actual hag, a dragon in disguise or a fiend. Others claim a vampire as the culprit or a ghoul. A minority suggest it is a demigod, cursed to remain upon this mortal coil and cut off from worship or veneration. Furious, she avenges herself by eating innocents, to deny others what is most precious to them. [/QUOTE]
