Hi, I'm Bulwayen the Makahudhud- a bard or storyteller for you who
do not know. I'm also a hunter. I frequent forests not just for game but for
peace and serenity found there.
You.
Amidst the noise and fast flow of time these days, you find
yourself here. Do you know why you're here? I do not. You may have grown tired
of the concrete pavements that hinder the growth of fragile but beautiful
flowers, or you yearn to see the beautiful blue skies covered by those tall
gray structures, or perhaps you simply want to relax in the fields of grass, I
truly do not know. You probably don't too. However, this does not mean the
reason you're here for is in vain. Who knows what you're here for? Or maybe
you're here to create your own destiny?
You cannot shape a colorful destiny with a bland life. No, you
must pepper it with struggles and challenges- either from natural opponents or
sentient foes. By facing these struggles, or perhaps your fears, your desires
will come to fruition.
Do you desire to be a powerful warrior followed by an army, a
playful wanderer itching to see the world? Or perhaps be someone who challenges
the gods in hopes of attaining divinity, it does not matter, for all of these
is possible.
Your ancestors certainly did not live a mundane life. For almost 500 years invaders suppressed an already rich but still blossoming culture, for the
next century the descendants of the original bad-asses are reduced to
psychological slaves. But you, I hope, not you. You being here means the
generation hasn't degenerated too much.
We have hope.
And you, Hope-bringer, shall go on a journey in your head, with
your imagination as tool, to the far reaches of Janggalan. Prepare for what
awaits you- I assure you, it is epic.
