The Forgotten
By Todd Weaver (olafred@nb.net)
Prelude
Mother-of-the-Lost ran swiftly through the streets of the Penumbra. The fear in her heart was pounding in her brain as she fled, terrified of what lay behind her. She stopped as she rounded a corner and leaned against the wall, certain that she'd lost the monstrousity. It had been hideous! The oozing crawling mass . . . it's wailing voices . . . so many lost . . . and why? Why did they return as . . . as this!? She felt something warm wrap around her leg and looked down to see the fleshy tendril entwined at her knees, an umbilical cord . . . .When the voices slammed into her mind, all she could do was scream.
Description
A recent arrival from Malfeas has been a creature only known as the Forgotten. Thankfully, only a few of these creatures are known to exist. The Forgotten is a crawling mass of aborted Fetuses brought to spiritual life by the pain and suffering caused by the abortion, both physical and mental. What these creatures want is a mystery; all that is known is they wander the Penumbra near the clinics and hospitals that spawned them, seeking to destroy any living them that crosses their paths.The Forgotten has a variety of powers that, until now, were unknown by Theurges. One of these is the ability to strike pity into their targets, reminding them of why they exist and making them too sorry to attack. Of course, the Forgotten has no problem destroying a foe so disarmed. Another is a wailing cry of the hundreds of voices that make up the Forgotten. Named the Cry of the Unborn by Garou Theurges, this power has the ability to inflict madness on anyone hearing it.
