Red Spirit

In Europe long ago, a terrifying event took place: a ghost was roaming the continent! In the eyes of most Europeans at the time, it was a monster even more terrifying than a vampire! This ghost looked much like a human, except that whenever it appeared, its whole body glowed a vivid crimson, and it took the form of a plasma-like flame. The Europeans of the day therefore called it the Red Spirit. To unite in a holy crusade against this ghost, every power in Europe at the time, whether they shared common goals, had complicated relationships, or were embroiled in intrigue, miraculously joined forces!
