To my dearest Thom, you are my freedom and destiny

P R E F A C E

In the time of the Dark Days, the One Who Will Prevail will rise up and take her proper place. Without proper upbringing, she will destroy the Mischief Maker and lead the Prophesized One to her rightful throne. The One Who Will Prevail will lead a great victory with the assistance of her General, the Gifted, and the Elements and restore the balance to the Sides.

 

Our world is not one that you recognize. In our world, legends and myths exist in everyday life with the human’s full knowledge. While we are feared, we live in peaceful cooperation. Our enemy, the Mischief Maker, tries to tread on this cooperation and had succeeded many times in the past but this time, he has done so in a more permanent way. 

We Bounty Hunters and Special Gifted Ones are now outcasts to the world. When we were once only feared, we are now hunted and pursued for slaughter and extinction. We must now fight for our lives while the lives of many humans are taken by those we hunt: monsters of the night. We track down the beasts and exterminate them but the humans refuse to make it easy.

This prophecy is one that is sacred to our people. It has been alive for centuries and millennia and even though it has not yet been fulfilled, we know it will be one day. And for that, we live.

 

“Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can because of source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.”

-Henry Miller
