{From the perspective of Markus the hunter}

Date: 12th May 1984 {Morning}

Some people said they have been hearing strange sounds and water splashing hard against the rocks near the shore at night. They know it was not the weather for some of them have adventured outside to see what was making the racket. They say it was as calm as a night can be when they come near the shore. This has become more and more popular in the gossip the housewives chat about in the day. People don't talk as much as they used to anymore, I'm worried people will start to go in hiding. I am writing this from my cabin in the woods. I am planning on slaying this horrid beast people say exist. I am about to head out to the village nearby the shore to ask questions about its whereabouts. I will write my findings and information.

{Late afternoon}

I have asked almost everybody that lives in the small village. They all say they haven't seen this beast but have heard it at night, splashing against the rocks, making these moaning beastly noises EVERY night. Some seemed like they could fall on the ground and sleep as quiet and calmly as a cat. People looked scared. I must rid the world of this beast as soon as possible. I was about to travel back to my cabin when a man told me Old Jadis might know this haunting creature's appearance.

She lives on top of a mountain a walk's away from the village. I went to pay her a visit and she gave me a brief description. Snake like body with scales on its head, a green-turquoise color and a snake tongue with fangs. I plan on slaying this beast next week, for now I will train in the forest.

15th May 1984 {Afternoon}

I have upgraded my bow to its best. I hope it will stand against the fight.

17th May 1984

I am becoming stronger each day. The people are starting to hide in their houses. I must kill this nightmare.

19th May 1984

I travel tomorrow to the sea.

20th May 1984

I am about to leave to the village. I would say my last words, but I am certain I will slay this beast.

This journal was found 10 years later (1994) in the cabin in the woods. We never saw Markus again. These were his last words.

"I would say my last words, but I am certain I will slay this beast."

A/N I was going to write the fight between Markus and the beast from the perspective of the villagers near by the shore, but I didn't have time. I might continue this story later. Who knows?
