Lurking in the Woods

Several centuries ago, there lived a ruthless king named Bagsecg. As a Viking, he lived a nomadic life, moving from continent to continent until he and his five earls finally reached England. With his cruel, savage-like tactics and his merciless slaughtering, the king was able to conquer England and turn the natives into slaves abiding by his empire’s will. There was only one brave man, Cervus, who feared no one and fought to bring peace and tranquility to his hometown. Unfortunately, as legend goes, Bagsecg defeated Cervus in a duel using his fraudulent techniques. Although Cervus’s body was buried, to this day, there are some that believe the ghost of Cervus wanders around his hometown, still seeking revenge for what the king did to his town and his people.
