In the 946 AD, there was a brave and
honorable knight named Hendrik. He was fairly young for his title and social
standing. He enlisted himself in military at the age of 18. He's almost 30
years old now. He had never failed his duty as a knight, and he's also
well-known in the kingdom.
One day, there was a rumor in the
kingdom that a sect of cults had appeared within the kingdom. They always said
that cultists were magicians but so far it had not been prevented to be true.
This particular sect had been proven to kidnap some of the villagers and used
them as a sacrifice. Hendrik and some of his men were assigned to eliminate or
capture this cult. Previous attempts to apprehend this sect was made but to no
avail. Some of them end up missing or dead.
The night came. Hendrik and his men
were searching in the outskirts of the kingdom. They stumbled upon a huge cave.
Hendrik didn't recognize this cave. It wasn't here before. Hendrik thought he
had found their lair and went in. After exploring deep into the cave, they
heard a chant below the ground. They found a clearing and a way down below.
But, unfortunately, Hendrik slipped and fell into a large purple rune below.
Hendrik opened his eyes. There were
screams all over the place. There were so many people. Dressed in black, face
painted. Black and white. Some people even had images on their body and round
steel thing on their faces. Oh, Lord. Am I dead? Hendrik thought to himself.
Far in front of him was a stage that seemed to be the center of attention. He
heard a very unfamiliar sound. A sound of something beaten every time. A very
sickening sound of some kind of something he didn't know. And what was this
deep sound that shook his heart every second? The stage was always lit by what
it seemed to be small suns of different colors. Occasionally, the stage would
spray fires into the air. He's very confused. Am I in hell? He passed out.
"Hey, another dude passed out,
" a med team spoke. "Not a rare sight in Metallica concert. Let's
take him somewhere clear," another medic replied.
