Excerpt:
Legend says that the draugamunninn were once human.

But their prayer was not answered by a god.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. An illuminated letter \\u201cD.\\u201d Contained within the letter is a bearded man, facing forward, standing beside the curve, in stylized rays of sunlight, holding a baby in his left arm against his chest, and a dagger in his outstretched right arm. His dagger is plunged through the neck of a humanoid creature lying in right profile along the bottom curve of the letter. The creature is completely white. Its long tongue extends out of the mouth. Its tail curls out of the bounds of the letter, ending in a tip that points up. The right leg is bent up so that the long toes of the foot are seen resting along the edge of the letter. The man\\u2019s cloak also extends in front of the letter, its fur hem lying out of bounds. Watermark of the word \\u201cStoryfeather\\u201d along left edge of the square box containing the main part of the letter.
