Synopsis:
Deep within the earth's core, lye's a race that has existed for thousands of years. A race forbidden to walk the
surface of the earth due to a curse cast upon them. This race known, as the NOCTURNALS must never leave
their confines for (as per the curse) they will perish.
The Nocturnal's are Human, although have been around since the age of Dinosaur's. They were born as
Hunters. And were consistently at war with a race of savages known as the creepers. The Nocturnals were
nomadic and observed the earth as their land. They would roam freely and live off the land. A hunting group
(made up of four hunters) was searching for their next meal when they came across a forest, which had trees
with no leaves. The forest was engulfed in darkness while the day was still new. The Hunters were curious and
decided to enter.
The moment they entered evil made its presence felt. They began seeing images and hearing voices. The
Hunters tried turning back but were confused and could not find a way out of the forest. Suddenly, they were
attacked by a group of twelve Creepers'. They fought valiantly although three of the Hunters were slaughtered.
One, barely escaped with his life, ran furiously until he was miles clear of the Black Forest.
The Hunter told the events to the elders and immediately the people took to arms. Preparing for the worst
they sent out three of their best scouts to summon all of the remaining hunters that had left at sunrise.
The night fell upon the earth and the Nocturnals became weary. Then suddenly, a figure appeared in the
distance. A cloaked messenger with a scroll. The scroll was left at the foot of one of the Hunters. The scroll
read; Give us the Hunter who has fled and violated our sacred land and no harm will come to your people. If
you refuse, you will suffer the wrath of Nocron.
The Nocturnals refused and by morning a hunter came running into one of the elders huts shouting HELP
ME. Instantly, the hunter's body began bursting out in boils and soars. The elder ran out of the hut only to
suffer the same fate. The sun was somehow destroying the hunter's. They tried running towards the caverns
but only fifty made it. They were a proud people of 10,000.
The Nocturnal's traveled far into the caverns and as deep within the earth as possible. They were never to
be seen again. for more visit www.icreatestories.com (Licensing Available)
