The City of the Forgotten

Chapter 2

Island of the Forgotten

The woods were empty. No rustling of the leaves. No chirping of the birds.

Not a breath of wind anywhere. The cool forest was the dwelling place of a

major group of Redham. It was home to the “City of the Forgotten,” as the

owners called it. And it was truly forgotten. It was a dark, depressing

place where only dark creatures live. It was a dull place, moss covering

the cobblestone walls and blood mixed with the rough, green, and grey

surface. The only thing to be heard was the grunting and crunching of

teeth, grinding flesh, and bones. The overpowering stench of rotting flesh

was everywhere. And it was filled with terrifying beasts. They were tall,

standing about the height of a bear, covered with knotted black fur. They

had massive muzzles with sharp canines protruding from their cut and

torn lips. Their eyes were a deep blood red and they were a truly

terrifying sight. The beasts of Redham were strong and heavily built. Each

one carried a heavy weapon, whether it was a heavy sword, a club, or an

axe. And in the centre of the dark place, there was a giant building. It was

made of ironstone, unlike its fellows, and was painted black. In the centre,

above the oak door, there was a sign.
