Daoist_Eternal_Sky Soz for the later reply... I was binge-reading from another site.. ehehe?
Those... friends that were mentioned in Sacred Texts, (shudders) they're beings that came from a different dimension. Untouched by Time. Unmoved by Fate.
They are filled with mystery. Throughout our long history, many have helped our ancestors survive in times of need, but just as often they've struck unseen, snuffing countless lives and plundering various kingdoms.
They are also known to drink all the booze even though they didn't pay for it.
It is supposed to be kept under wraps, but some of our ancestors who survived the betrayal of those fiends have, in their madness, butcher those... friends and ATE them. You could say that it was a small consolation, but when they calmed down, they claimed that those beings taste so good, they no longer desired to eat our world's finest meals.
And so, the hunt has begun...
