Out of all creatures in Equestria, Griffons have the most ambivalent relationship with death. Little care was given to burying the deceased, instead preferring the simplicity of sky burials. But when a child gets trapped inside the forgotten crypts in the ruins of Griffonstone castle, Gilda feels obliged to help.
What Gilda doesn't know, however, is that there was a very good reason the crypts had been abandoned. After all, some things are better left forgotten...

I guess I am a tad impatient ^^'. But I always post horror stories in October because of Nightmare Night!
Something is screwing with gilda.
I always like Griffin stories.
Yo, I did my very first fic reading to this story. I'll be reading the rest on my channel as well. I hope anyone who enjoyed the story can tolerate my voice.
I guess I’m a little confused. I thought Gilda succumbed to the eldritch horror and became the Rot Queen, but her shouting for help at the end kinda throws a wrench into that narrative. Unless that’s a phantom Gilda trying to lure in more victims. Either way, good story, many spooks to be had.
