Chapter 42: Black Order
*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.’

New York City
The Year 1809
It was a cold night in New York City. Carriage passing by, the skies having bits of lightning that appeared constantly, the black clouds shifting like it was about to rain, the weather cold, people walking to and fro either walking to their homes or someplace, as they undergo their various activities.
Lucas Carter walks out of a dark alley. He checks his surroundings for any soldiers before walking into the street making sure his hat covers his face from prying eyes, it travels back and forth for any unwanted attention, and he walks the streets until he stops sighting a building a little distance away from him.
