The sound of calamity

Thousands of people scrambled at their first moment and carried their necessities as they marched towards the western gate. All businesses were left unattended and not even a single person had a deathwish thought of pillaging.

"It's an army of savage beast!"

Savage beast was a half-human half-beast, twice the size of a normal human. They lack the wisdom and intellect of an able-person, but compensate themselves with robust physical stature and ferociousness. They are carnivorous, who often feast on humans and even capture them as livestock. Savage beast resides on the southern desolate forest, which was only seperated by a thin wall from Gelang Town.

Random cries were heard from the hopeless mob, and the civilians struggled as they try to flee away from the impending catastrophe.

Abe immediately panicked and is again reminded by uncle's warning. He made a quick jump from rooftop to rooftop, avoiding the mob who is heading the other way round. Little Xiao and Fat cat followed closely behind him, proving how nimble they are as a ghost.

"There will be an enourmous aura of death" Abe kept his pace unceasingly, and he knew that majority of these mortals will perished. Aura of death simply means that the god of death had arrived, and fate is not something these trivial mortal will understand.

"little Xiao, do not lose sight of me! Once these people died miserably, this place will be swarmed with vengeful ghost. These ghost aren't entities that we can negotiate with. Lets folllow the uncle's plan and made our way deeper into the graveyard!"

The moment Abe stepped his bare foot on the graveyard, he noticed a female silhouette running towards his thatched hut. There was another male next to her, who looks younger than he is.

"Yaya, why are you here?" Abe shouted through the his lungs.

"To save you. Follow us. We don't have much time" Yaya ran towards him and made a forceful motion of grabbing his wrist.

Abe stood there unmoving, trying to resist every movement Yaya forced into him. He was hesitant of what to do.

Abe's eye suddenly went all white as blood dripping from both his eyes.

"No, follow me. You will both died tragically if you dont"

Yaya was terrified the moment she witnessed Abe, as much as she was terrified with the savage beast herself. She slowly let loose of her arms and hug the other young male while striding a few steps back away from Abe.

Yaya had witnessed her own future tragic death in a split second and she was trying her best to calm her state of mind. She was hacked into pieces and eaten alive, before her conciousness faded. Mountains of corpses were piled up while the younger ones were shackled and paraded as little lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"We dont have much time and you cant die just yet. You still owe me a copper coin" Abe said with a mischievous smile.

Yaya regain her senses as he followed Abe into the deeper part of graveyard. The other young kid was still motionless and Yaya carried him on her back like it was a rag doll. He was her junior brother, Momo, which they shared the same master.

"The power to change fate.." An enormous figure opened his eyes for a split second and continued his eternal slimber.
