Inanna? Ereshkigal? I'm so out of loop here.
Very Brief Recap
For more detailed, scroll back a hundred or maybe 150 by now pages and search.
Vision Girl- This is the mysterious girl you see in your visions while feeding etc. She has been theorized to be many different people/things for a while now. The theory of her being the Ancient Inanna (Sumerian Goddess/Super Vampire possibly) was put forth by yours truly some time ago. This theory is not necessarily the correct fact, but by dropping the name Inanna by the Skald Frode a couple of updates back, this theory was strengthened. Inanna is not Calisto's sire. She would be a legend to Calisto as Calisto is legendary to the current weak vampires of the modern nights. Calisto was created in Ancient Greece, probably by one of the super powerful vampires there who took on the persona of Greek Gods and Goddesses. Based on the various facts and theories surrounding the Heirea and or High Priestess' of the day, it is likely that Calisto served and was created by Hera. (possibly a 3rd generation vampire)
Inanna is much more ancient than that, dating back at least 3,500 years before Ancient Greece's 2,500 BCE. This would make Vision Girl at least 8k years old, if not more.
Inanna was a major goddess for Ancient Sumer (If not THE main goddess which gave birth to legends of Isis and other super powerful female deities) with domains over things from war to love to fertility to crops to a whole lot more. The Sumerians had thousands of gods and goddesses but Inanna was in the top tier of all such deities.
Legend has it that she visited her sister Ereshkigal (goddess of the Underworld, much less revered yet very much known of) and that she had to pass through 7 gates and gate keepers to reach her sister. Each gatekeeper demanded that she remove one of her protective jewels/amulets/articles of clothing such as they were. (they were not shy, so partially nude was the order of the day, even if fully clothed so to speak) Once all of her protective items were removed, she was brought before her sister, who summarily executed her. Being the ruler of the Underworld, she refused to let Inanna leave (return to the realm of the living and unliving -vampires). Some time later, Inanna was rescued.
Frode spoke of Inanna still buried in the earth. Merrick mentioned a Nos named Frank who seemed to share a similar gift or curse with the MC of vision. Frank was obsessed with digging up a girl. (not specified to be Inanna, in fact Merrick only knew it was some girl, not the red beauty we as the MC see in our visions).
Frank- well you will have seen him, and will understand when he touches the earth he is sharing a vision similar to the MC. He is obsessed with shovels and digging.
Water cave of doom and visions of a dark foreboding form. When visiting the hospital the third time with Sharon, the MC has a vision as they approach the back door. This is of a creepy looking dead eyed dangerous looking mask, surrounded by water. (which Vision Girl ((Inanna) warned the MC away from!) Later the MC has visions of watery caves and possibly a threat to Sharon and Laurie. He also has visions of Laurie being rescued by Sharon, but only if your SharonsavesLaurie score is higher than 6. Otherwise Laurie disappears never to be seen again.
The Nos seem to be drawn to Scottstown, but things happen to them there. This is speculated on by Marcus. Their listening post went dark, and it is curious that it seems to be near the cave entrance that was found when Andrew and the MC found while exploring the Nos holding.
Erishkigal is likely the antagonist of all antagonists in this story, if we assume that the MC is on the side of Inanna aka Vision Girl.
The Princeps, the other Elders, and Archons are all punks in this story. Calisto, The MC, Fabian, Virgil, Vision Girl, Dark and Nasty, Possibly Frank, Possibly Marcus are exceptions. Chumpest of all is Marcius, and I predict that the MC will lay the smack down on him in fairly short order.
Ok, never mind, I summed it up here. No need to scroll back. I type mini novels whenever I get on a roll. Must mean when I find an illustrator I should crank out my own AVN in short order...... but that is a story for another day or night.
Peace
