Southward Travels

Something that should never be seen, heard, nor recorded, ever again. Bakdal Year 3951, 28th day of the Shield's Moon... The Black Death... A blight on our lands that rotted flesh black. As I stepped upon the black sands of this new land, I felt the presence of someone - or something - following me. Who or what this apparition was, I could not say. All I knew was that it was able to mask its presence from me, a maehwa and commander of Hwasun Valley... This is no ordinary stalker, for has ever there been a creature whose eyes glow red in the pitch black of darkness? I sense a thirst for blood in those red eyes. Whatever this creature is, it is not friendly. - From Yeonhwa's Southward Travels -
