In the quiet village of Elmridge, there is a mysterious legend that haunts its inhabitants. It is said that there is a **moonlit switch endowed with a bloodstained curse** that brings darkness to anyone who dares to touch it. The legend dates back several centuries when an ancient sorcerer named Malachi lived in the village. Malachi was known for his dark magic and his thirst for power. He created a switch that was imbued with the blood of his enemies, believing that it would grant him immortality and unlimited power under the moonlight. However, the switch ended up having unintended consequences.

Baltimore Ravens’ Mascot ‘Poe’ Has Electric Return After Tearing ACL Earlier In The Season

Baltimore Ravens mascot ‘Poe’ wasn’t about to miss the team’s regular season home finale on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers in town. The beloved mascot made a surprising, and electric return to action after suffering a brutal injury during a preseason game earlier this year.

Poe was wheelchaired out of the tunnel on Sunday night with a cast on his left leg. After getting the crowd’s attention, Poe tossed his blanket off and jumped out of the wheelchair sending Baltimore fans into a frenzy.

It was something you’d see during a WWE show, and ‘Poe’ pulled off the stunt perfectly.

It’s nice to see the Ravens’ mascot back in action after his unfortunate injury earlier in the year.

During the preseason win over the Commanders, Poe was playing a game during halftime with some youth football players when he had to be carted off the field. He immediately grabbed his left knee when hitting the turf.

To his credit, the person inside the costume kept his headgear on and everything as he was carted off the field.

Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh delivered the news of the mascot’s torn ACL saying he “sustained a serious injury to his drumstick.”

“We’re gonna find a replacement … we’re gonna go to work on that right away. We’re gonna turn over every stone, scour everywhere and find his replacement,” Harbaugh said.

When it comes to the handling of ACL injuries, the Ravens managed this situation to perfection.

Baltimore Ravens lose Poe the mascot to season-ending 'drumstick' injury

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Ravens are going to have to wing it with their mascot this season.

In a video released by the team, Ravens coach John Harbaugh "announced" Thursday that Poe is out for the season after being injured in a mascot vs. youth football team game.

"Unfortunately, he sustained a serious injury to his drumstick," Harbaugh said in the video, with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.

Poe hurt his left knee during the halftime show of the preseason finale Saturday against the Washington Commanders. In what was supposed to be a friendly game, Poe was flushed out of the pocket and chased down from behind by a teenage player, who pushed the team's longtime mascot to the ground.

However, the switch ended up having unintended consequences. As soon as Malachi touched it under the full moon, a curse was bestowed upon him. His body turned pale and lifeless, and he was forever bound to the darkness.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson tweeted after the game: "Nooo. Them kids playing blitz."

Even though Poe immediately clutched his left leg when he fell to the ground, it took about five minutes before a cart came out for him because many thought it was part of the act. Three people lifted Poe into the cart before he was wheeled off the field at M&T Bank Stadium. To his credit, Poe remained in full costume the entire time.

A video showing how Poe was injured received over 800,000 views.

"We're going to turn over every stone, scour everywhere and find his replacement," Harbaugh said. "We're going to get right into evaluating our options and see where we go next and see if we can find someone to replace Poe."

Sources close to the team's banged-up bird say the Ravens could turn to Edgar and Allan, two mascots let go by the team because of salary-cap reasons years ago.

Ravens Place Poe on Injured Reserve

The Ravens are placing Poe on injured reserve, Head Coach John Harbaugh announced Thursday.

Poe suffered a "serious injury to his drumstick" during the halftime of the Mascot Classic, a game between youth football players and several local mascots, and was carted off the field. After further tests, the Ravens concluded Poe's injury is season-ending.

"He will not be able to perform for the rest of the season," Harbaugh said. "We will find a replacement. We're going to go to work on that right away. We're going to turn over every stone, scour everywhere and find his replacement. We're going to get right into evaluating our options, see where we go next, and see if we can find somebody to replace Poe."

Hatched in 1998, Poe is a 10-time Pro Bowler. In 2016, he published his first book, "Poe’s Road Trip to Gameday" and has been part of two national TV commercials. Poe also joined military tours in Bahrain, Djibouti, Jordan and Niger.

Poe appreciated the outpouring of support after the world saw him being carted off the field on social media. Now the Ravens will move forward without their beloved mascot cheering them on from the sideline.

"Poe's injury definitely leaves some big shoes to fill for the year. It's not easy to replace a 10-time Pro Bowler," Sr. Vice President of Marketing Brad Downs said. "He's in good spirits and already eager to get back out there. We have no doubt he'll bring the same energy to his recovery and rehab that he brings to the sidelines and community every day."

Thanks for all your concerned tweets 💜

From that moment on, anyone who touched the switch during a moonlit night would also fall victim to the curse, becoming a vessel for darkness. Over the years, the villagers tried to destroy the switch, but to no avail. It seemed indestructible, as if protected by some unseen force. Fear spread through the village, and people became reluctant to go out at night, especially during a full moon. Stories of the curse were passed down from generation to generation, and the mysterious switch became a symbol of fear and caution. It was believed that those who were cursed would roam the village at night, seeking to spread darkness and misery. Some claimed to have seen shadowy figures lurking in the moonlit streets, their eyes glowing with an eerie light. To this day, the switch remains hidden away in a secret chamber beneath the village. Only a select few know of its location, but they dare not speak of it. They fear that anyone who becomes aware of its existence may be tempted to find it and unleash its curse upon themselves. The villagers have learned to live with the legend, an ever-present reminder of the consequences of dabbling in dark magic. They have embraced the importance of staying away from the switch, as it represents the allure of power and the dangers that come with it. Despite the fear and superstition surrounding the moonlit switch, Elmridge remains a close-knit community. The villagers support one another, finding comfort in the shared belief that staying away from the cursed switch is the key to preserving their peace and safety. Thus, the moonlit switch endowed with a bloodstained curse continues to be a part of the village's folklore, a cautionary tale that serves as a reminder to resist the temptation of power and to embrace the light rather than succumbing to the darkness..

Reviews for "The Moonlit Switch: A Gateway to Shadows and Bloodshed"

1. Emily - 2/5 stars - "I was really excited to read 'Moonlit Switch Endowed with a Bloodstained Curse' based on all the hype it was getting, but I have to say I was disappointed. The writing felt disjointed and the plot was confusing at times. I also found it difficult to connect with any of the characters, as they lacked depth and development. Overall, it just fell flat for me."

2. Mike - 1/5 stars - "This book was a complete letdown. The premise sounded intriguing, but the execution was terrible. The pacing was all over the place and I couldn't follow the storyline coherently. The dialogue was clunky and forced, and the author relied too heavily on telling rather than showing. I had high hopes for 'Moonlit Switch Endowed with a Bloodstained Curse', but it ended up being a waste of my time."

3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - "I couldn't get into 'Moonlit Switch Endowed with a Bloodstained Curse' no matter how hard I tried. The writing style was pretentious and overly flowery, making it difficult to understand what was happening. The characters were unrelatable and lacked any real personality. The plot was also convoluted and hard to follow, leaving me feeling disappointed and frustrated. I would not recommend this book to anyone seeking a coherent and engaging reading experience."
