THE THESIS MYTHOS
REDWITCH HUNT
Prologue-The Common Legend of the Redwitch

"Once upon a time, there lived a woman. Crimson red her hair was, a zombie she was, a vampire she was. She was not called the Redwitch because of her red hair, not because she was a zombie, not because she was a vampire. A Redwitch she was called because of her blood. It was not blue like zombie's, nor green like a vampire's, but red like a human's.

We all believe that the zombies, with their interchangeable bodies and the vampires, consuming lives, are more powerful than mankind could ever be. It was the Redwitch who proved this wrong.

Once upon another time, she was caught in the crossfire between a zombie and a vampire, with only a sword in her hand. She managed to slay both of them before their battle even started, and she did it beautifully so, a goddess in the wind. However, her victory came at the expense of her own life, and though her body was dead, her blood flowed into the waters, drifting away and alive.

Crimson red her hair was, a zombie she was, a vampire she was. But it was indisputable that she possessed human's blood, and shed human's blood at her triumph against the zombie and the vampire, both at the same time. This alone was enough to convince mankind that they could rise above, to be superior, to be proud.

As some now say, it is the Redwitch's blood coursing through their veins."
