There are many legends about the red lion who was famous about
his thirst for blood. His story goes all away back in the 16th century,
in England. There were too many stories , just too dark and terrifying
that people hardly dared to speak of it. The legend says that the
red lion lived in a forest between Wolverhampton and Walsall,
where he would take lives one after another. Woodmans would disappear,
and never again seen. There were many caves and hiding places
in the forests, but the red lion lived in a castle. Drotch was the name
of it. Everybody knew about this place, but the folks thought that
some noble family lived there. Which was true, till the red lion came
and took over the castle. He did not kill the family, he kept them in
the basement. For 400 hundred years.
The red lion does not die.
The red lion can keep people live for as long as he pleases.
The red lion drinks blood to be red and well.
There is more to the red lion's story.
I shall speak of it again.
