The Eternal Hunt

The world is dying, my friends, but this is not the first time. It has ended before, and it will end again. The cycle of life and death, creation and destruction, is an eternal dance that has been going on since the beginning of time.

As Monster Slayers, we have long been aware of this. Thus, we are not startled by the resurgence of magic, nor the emergence of otherworldly demons and monsters that now plague our world. In truth, we have been waiting to face this darkness. We are honored by it. Did not Sholegar say "The Shadow frightens you, only that you may see your reflection."

It is during these dark times that the greatest battles unfold. When the spiritual realm has been forgotten, and the sacred becomes profane, the warrior finds their purpose. The warrior, who moves in alignment with the higher planes, expresses that which is beyond through his spiritual courage.

Now is the time to concentrate on the hunt, pursuing ever-greater challenges that will test your mettle and elevate your spirit. To do otherwise would be to cling to this fragile, fleeting world, constantly teetering on the brink of collapse.

Do not flee. Do not cling. Do not beg for mercy. Do not concern yourself with the plight of the weak and helpless, for they are but insignificant pawns in the grand scheme of things. Instead, draw your blade and charge into the darkness with all the courage and ferocity you can muster. It is there, in the moment when you have given everything, that you will realize you are not alone. You are a Monster Slayer, standing apart from this world alongside the warriors of the ages.
