Chapter 1: Prologue
*Heart Beats Slowly*
’In the year 1514 in England. April 25th, the first sightings of ghouls were discovered. An expedition to a lost nation was all it took for a dark history to resurface.’
’They live amongst us in hiding, they look like us but they are different from us. Beings said to possess supernatural abilities and worst of all... their taste for human flesh.’
’Meeting one will most likely be unfortunate for any of us, but am afraid that won’t be the only thing we will be worried about, for an even greater power amongst the ghouls will come to light, I pray what I have discovered will not come to pass, for we will be facing an era of extinction if war emerges from both sides.’
’What I have discovered may be the words of a delusional man, but I tell you, the things we think that are not seen are what is closer to us, the discovery of this lost species is only the beginning of a world of ghouls and humans.’

The Year 1807
The ships onshore, the raging cold wind around the country of Great Britain, in a small community, bells banged loudly, scaring the birds away from rooftops. The weather is dim and moody, the carriages passing by, a splash of muddy wet sand everywhere.
"ATTENTION!" an armed scout soldier shouted, the others responded by hitting their boots fiercely on the sandy wet ground, they placed their long shotgun behind and stood straight.
