Mesmerizing Past /2/

Frente was mesmerizing in the past;

(FLASHBACK...)

-----------------------------------------

fourteen years ago,

{ Belain Village , Solstice Mountain}

In the middle of the night, they stood on the ground, watching as the fire burn brightly at the center of the village during a day and a night without ceasing to burn out.

[Frente/head chief, fifteen years old]

[Elder] "Frente do you see that Bonfire at the center of our village? He pointed out."

"Uhmmm, yes." Nod his head

"That fire is just an ordinary fire that you see everyday from day to day use, what makes the bonfire unique is not the fire itself, but the wood that is utilize for combustion."

Frente question the elder,

"What is that wood called anyway? And why does the fire doesn't burn out, despite the cold weather"

"You see Frente, the wood is extracted and gathered from Hades forest. It was given to us by a raggy old man, who was grateful to the villagers, which is us to be exact, for being hospitable."

On our first encounter, he walk alone toward our village with a smile, he was friendly. So we didn't find him suspicious as a bad guy.

He told his story about his adventure and tell a few things about himself, that he was a traveler, and therefore he needs a shelter just for a day.

Aside from that, he is a heavenly master, which only I knew, the moment I first took a sight at him.I could feel just by taking a glance in his face and the surge of spiritual qi in his body."

"Elder are you somehow a cultivator like him?"

[pause] "hmmm, that was in the past, right now I'm no different from any mortal, after all, I got a grevious wound from a mortal enemy of mine"

Frown, and return to tell the story,

" We had a campfire using the woods that he just extracted from Hades forest. And told us his story."

"Claim that he travelled from mountains, seas, islands lakes, rivers, ranges, hills, forest and etc."

"By then he share his recently odd encounter, he encountered a strange weird looking forest, it was gloomy, eerie, creepy and can't find any signs of life. He try to approach the forest, to make an observation, wrote and draw it in his almanac book about these strange woods. Upon touching the tree and extracting some few branches, the forest did'nt make a fuss about it."

"Somehow, a glare stare upon him few kilometers deeper in the forest, and he glares back with a stronger killing intent. What's suprising was the forest didn't budge and didn't bother assaulting him as he proceed to cross the forest going Pascue Valley and straightly proceed in Solstice Mountain where he encounter Belain village.

On the next day the old man was gone, the bon fire still remain burning despite the cold weather.

Many years has pass, the answer why the old man left unscratch, remain a mystery. The story that he told to the village remain skeptical to the villagers that they find the old man as a hoax, yet it's undeniable that he has a branch coming from Hades forest.

A year has pass by since the raggy old man's departure and the fire extinguish,

The fire will only last for a year, fortunately the're were still some reservoir that were given to us by the raggy old man.

Before the old man leaves,

He made a name to his discovery and made names to *minions and the *core of the forest.

(undead treants and the Elder treant which Xiang Monji believes it was)

The name of the minions are walking wither, and the guardian of the forest which stares at him across the forest is called Black Wither Ballete.

Since then, a single twig of a walking wither is a very valueble object in Belain Village, which caught the eyes by the bandit in the future.
