The Travellers: False beacon of hope

The Travellers Origin story... In 1914, on the French-German border, three orphaned siblings—Polly (3), Judd (8), and Roody (17)—watch their humble, loving family home burn and their brothers die in a deserter raid. Polly, desperate and alone, makes a deal with a black butterfly (Eirath, Dark Eternal of Greed) to bring her brothers back. The price: eternal youth sustained by consciously feeding on infants. What begins as innocent survival twists into numb delusion, childlike violence, and silent rage. Sanity slips. Guilt fades. Greed grows. They become The Travellers—false beacon of hope, luring the lost to a labyrinth of despair. A heartbreaking descent from a warm family night into endless, conscious horror. No escape. Only more.
