<p>Ten years ago, the Blight appeared.</p> <p>A beautiful forest, where the leaves and animals glowed brilliantly at night. It became a wonder of the entire world, and people began venturing from across the continent to visit it. No one took it any more seriously than that, not in the beginning.</p> <p>Then the disappearances started.</p> <p>At first, it was just farm animals and pets. Then, hunters and travellers close to dusk. By the time children started disappearing from villages, it was too late to do anything. The Blight was spreading, from tree to tree like a sickness, crawling out in all directions. The animals and beasts inside it changed as well. They grew larger, stronger, and more ferocious than anything seen before. Simple farm animals became horrific monsters, distorted to disgusting proportions and violently spreading chaos out from the forest.</p> <p>When the first reports came in of infected animals dragging people alive off into the forest... then the real panic began.</p> <p>Towns fell to the Blight, then cities. Armies were sent to push it back, and were overrun. Heroes and legends ventured out, to no avail. Soon, it was public knowledge to all:</p> <p>Those who entered the forest, never returned.</p> <p>... so what happens when a young boy comes out of the forest, carrying nothing but a dagger, and remembering nothing but his own name?</p> <p>Updates sporadically, mostly on Saturdays, with occasional updates midweek when I have time.</p>
