- a lost Bronte novel
by /vp/
Masquerain is a friendly and considerate orphan raised by a spiteful and tactless trainer. Eventually she gets a job working as a competitive battler for the well trained Lord Volcarona of Volcarona Temple. The unlikely couple rapidly succumb to a hot and sticky passion.
On the day of their wedding, a mean sister escapes from the attic of Volcarona Temple and starts a fire. Believing that Lord Volcarona is dead, Masquerain flees from the church and wanders the sandstormy moors for days until she is rescued by a special casual player.
However, although Lord Volcarona is blinded by the fire, he still breathes. Without Masquerain he becomes brutal and snotty. He turns to alcohol for comfort. The ghost of the sister from the attic haunts him.
Meanwhile, thinking Lord Volcarona is dead, Masquerain accepts a marriage proposal from her saviour, the casual player. However, one night she believes she can hear Lord Volcarona calling, "Masquerain, where are you? Masquerain come home!" and she returns to Volcarona Temple.
On Masquerain's return, she finds Lord Volcarona drunk and without sight. Mistaking her for the ghost of the mean sister, he attacks her with an entry hazard and Masquerain dies.
As he attends to the body, Lord Volcarona realises what he has done. Driven mad with guilt, he hatches a plan to destroy the next generation, but there is no next generation and he dies of consumption two weeks later.
