Times had been strange for Jerry growing up.  He had been kept very much inside the house by his mother and the older man that was a frequent visitor.  He had never really understood why they had kept him indoors until recently.  A few weeks ago Eleutherio, the elderly man, had explained to him that their land was under a... Curse, that many monsters, as it were, in the form of women populated the land, they were once truly women, but were now creatures stewed in lust, stewed in the desire to seduce men, and once they had claimed them, some they drove mad with pleasure, others they robbed of their morals, or their goods, it varied, but they were greatly a... Scourge upon the land, though they could be cured if a man could overcome their wiles, defeat them at their own game.  Still, he was becoming an adult, and he would have to go out into the world, and so they would have to prepare him for it.  He had been told a number of things over the intervening weeks.  Things about women, about romance, about sex...  And about himself, for the woman he had known as his mother apparently was not, she had adopted him, neither she nor Eleutherio knew who his real mother was.  Still, Jane had done her best to raise the boy, and wanted the best for him.  Today was, apparently, supposed to be the last day of his 'preperation' and his mother had woken him earlier than usual, he had been allowed to sleep late, be well rested for the other classes.<br/><br/>"I fear something big is supposed to happen today..."<br/><br/>She said as she awoke him, her brown eyes concerned as she looked down at him.<br/><br/>"There's a tension in the air, some trouble... We should compelete your lessons soon."<br/><br/>Jane seemed nervous, a hand pushing back her flaxen hair time and time again, though she did not really need to do so.  Jerry could tell she was... Quiet worried.
