Hi guys. Some of you might know the wip: Tan Noz: The shipwreckers. So, I just finished the whole story which is now titled Ankou: The harbringer of death. So here I’m looking for beta testers.
Info about the ankou
The Ankou is a character from Brittany’s myth that no one wants to meet or as late as possible. He is the god of death. Most often he is represented as a man or a skeleton, tall and lean with long, white hair. He is dressed in black, wears a large black felt pen with wide edges under which two deep black holes stare at you instead of eyes. The Ankou never moves without his scythe. He throws it forward to hit his victims, he regularly sharpens it with human humerus.
The worst omen is to hear the squeaking of the axles of his cart that two horses pull. With the reins in one hand, his scythe in the other, he travels the countryside in search of victims, nothing escapes him, his head can rotate as he please. Whoever hears the sound of the fateful convoy must hide if he does not want to be one of its victims.
The Ankou does not only take dying souls, he kills. The simple fact of approaching him and exchanging words with him is enough to cause the person’s death.
The Ankou cannot be challenged, nothing and no one can resist him. The elders tell anyone who wants to hear them “how a young man who was too curious, having heard the famous creaking of the axles of the Ankou cart he decided to observe it hiding in a bushe. The convoy suddenly stopped at his level, one of Ankou’s companions approached the hiding place to cut off enough to replace the broken ankle of one of the axles. The young man was relieved to see the Ankou move away without noticing his presence… the next day he died”
The Ankou was indeed accompanied by two short humanoid beings who helped him in his mission, both of whom followed the convoy. One guides the horse’s bridle from the front, the other opens the gates to facilitate its passage and places the bodies of victims on the cart. Stones encumber the cart to make it squeak and you can hear it coming, when an unfortunate person is broke, some stones are unloaded. For this reason, it is said that during funeral wakes a stone sound is sometimes heard; it is the soul of the deceased who replaces part of the ballast on the Ankou cart.
It is said that the last death of the year becomes the Ankou of the following year. An old Breton tradition says that you should never enter a new house for the first time: the Ankou is installed on the threshold to kill the first person who enters.
