"Don't be stupid, steer out of trouble, and whatever happens, stay alive." 

I really don't know why Dad always repeat those words to me everyday. I take heed of his words. Play by his rules, never dared to go against him except if it's extremely necessary.

He's all that I need to get by. Our life was ordinary. Everything was perfectly fine, perfectly normal, just an everyday routine we get used to live. But then this guy calling himself 'The Seeker' came... And he start making a mess out of my life. 

He said I have powers. - Who believe that crap?
He said I have extraordinary abilities. - Cool! I want to be Superman.
He said I was chosen. - Who? The god of newbie bullies? 
The mark of five imprinted deep into my skin proves that I am one of the TWELVE. - You sure it's not a tattoo? I firmly believe it's a tattoo. 

I never believe him. I drove him out. I did not listen. I wish I did. Maybe he could have help me. Maybe he could have save me from the trouble of falling right into their trap. I know nothing. Because of my stubbornness I lost everything. So now I'm all alone. But she stretch her hand to me. She gave me hope. She invited me to come. And I did. 

So our search began. For the remaining TEN.

They called me FIVE

Sam interrupted, "Are you saying the beast always howl at night? What about when it attacks? Did it howl too?"

"Of course it did!" One lady with the flush yellow robe answered. "Whenever it did, we already know there are people who climbed up in the mountain to kill it!"

Sam clarified, "So you're saying… when people attack, the beast will roar and bite off their necks and stomach? And it never once goes silent when it retaliates intruders?"

All five ladies shake their heads. Sam pinch his nose. "Then that's even more strange."

"What about the children? When did the first child disappear?" Sam shifted the topic. The five ladies stared at the ground, pondering on his question.
