There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay.
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.

But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror's magic sights,
For often through the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot;
Or when the Moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed.
"I am half sick of shadows," said
The Lady of Shalott.

His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd;
On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flow'd
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flashed into the crystal mirror,
"Tirra lirra," by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.

She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.


That day was That day the Lady of Shallot cursed her country and family, not only herself. The Lady of Shallot's family had been cursed, and all women were brought to the tower and locked up, for if they were to gaze on the capital, chaos and death would fall over the country. The Lady of Shallot pleaded with her father, and was able to gaze at the city through a mirror, but on one bright day, she dared to look through the window, and so the curse was brought upon the land.
The Lady of Shallot, of course, died. But those of her family still lived. And now they were cursed to transform into an animal reflecting their inner self when their emotions got out of control.
And her land was cursed soon after, and it was a terrible disease which came to be known as the Black Plague.
Her family was immune, but now it was to witness the death of the world.

London, England, 1519, 200 years after the fall of the Lady of Shallot. The family, for hopes of destroying the cursed gene, but to no success. Some of this new generation of Shallots have found each other and hope to find a cure for the curse and the terrible disease. but as they haunt the corners of England, are they the only ones looking for the cure, or are others trying to take them out?

rules:

+ Animals have to be actual animals. There is no using dragons, unicorns, or other sorts of mythological animals

+ When emotions get high, it is possible for people to partically transoform (growing wings, horns, shrinking, poisonous fangs, etc.)

+ The Shallots are about to live for a great deal longer then humans, and can heal quickly. However, if you break a leg really badly, the bone might heal that way and you will have to break the bone again to make sure it heals in the right way.

+ Please remember that the point of this rpg is for the next generation of Shallots to stop the curse and save their land from the Plague.

+Romance is allowed, but keep it pg-13

+keep swearing to a minimum, if at all possible

+Me and Aru_Saki have veto power over everything. If we ban you, the you're banned.

+No godmoding

+ PM me your profile with with title 'the shallot curse'

Ashling was looking down the markets of London, her sword strapped to her back. The men and woman in the streets looked at her questioningly and backed away. "I guess no one likes the idea of a woman with a weapon." she said to herself, slightly laughing. 'If only they knew...' She stopped at a weapons dealer and gazed down at the beautiful craftsmanship, admiring how he skillfully detailed the daggers.

A young girl wearing a black hooded cape ran down the street, bumping into a few people. She looked around and saw Ashling and quickly blended in next to her as four men ran past her. "She couldn't have gotten far. We need to get the princess back safetly." they said as they kept running. Demetri watched them leave and sighed as she took down her hood part way, letting her silver hair fall out a bit. "That was close." she sighed.

"For what? She said, leaning forward wed eyes, the smug smile still on her lips. "From what I see, they'd be more then happy if I told them where you are. What should I say? If you were to arrest me? 'oh! I was only doing my civil duty! What if something happened to her? Be thankful I saw her and alerted you so you could protect her."
And then she leaned back, her eyes going softer. "But don't worry. We're the same, you and I. I wont turn you in."

Demetri looked up at her suprised. "Your the first to actually know that without me telling you." she said. "Yes I do, an animal. Im guessing you have one too." she said as she looked at her.
