The Blood Moon. The name given to the moon in the month of October due to the yearly activity of hunting during this season, right before winter comes. It was also known as the Harvest Moon. However, there were times when the moon truly turned red. The legend says that the Moon Goddess, Selene, who gave light via the moon, and whose tears were the beams of light that fell upon the earth, was embroiled in a battle with the God of the Underworld whenever it turned red [1].
It was for the daughter she had lost, the daughter for whose death she could never forgive him. This lore was further emphasized by the fact that werewolves and hybrids felt a spike in their natural aggression and strength at this time. It was not enough for them to go out of control, but for some, it was a golden opportunity. If used to cultivate, it would significantly increase their speed for those few hours, making it the equivalent of up to a week for a weaker werewolf or three months for a stronger one.
