As far as they could remember, Little Town was a small, uneventful village.
However, this quiet little place sat close to a forest that people didn't like traveling too deep into at night, and tall mountains loomed beyond.
It was a beautiful village… but why was there a warning about going deep into the woods after sundown?
Naturally, it was because of small monsters — goblins and all manner of other creatures. This was the world of Aetherus, after all. Settlements were the safest places… but then why did this village have a reliable protector?
They weren't thinking about Noctis and his wife. No — before them, the village had been kept safe.
However, generations later, their protector was now just a myth… forgotten… now just a tale even they were unsure had ever existed.
Perhaps it was because this method was deemed vile, cruel, dangerous, and unusual by their predecessors…
Still, trying it was the only option left.
