《Dawn of the Epoch》Chapter XX - Oracle Lake

“How you talked me into this; I do not know.” Mumbled Hongo.
“Cheer up Hongo, after we cross that ridge, and then probably the next one, we’ll most likely be close to being halfway there.” Hunter replied with labored breathing.
“We could have taken the tourist route, you know.” Chimed in Tiyana.
“Where would the fun be in that?” Asked Hunter.
They hiked in silence for a while.
“It’s so beautiful.” Remarked Tiyana.
She gazed out over the valley. They had hiked close to the top of a mountain range. As she took in the surreal panorama before her, she felt both small and grand at the same time. A quarter of a mile below them, a stream gently cut its way through the trees and rock. The sides of the mountains were covered in a blend of tan sand, grey rock, green trees and shrubs, and crested with white snowy tops.
“It’s the Himalayas.” Said Hunter. “They call it the roof of the world.”
The majestic mountain range needed no further explanation. They walked on. They eventually stopped for lunch.
“Gotta love the two-day old sandwiches.” Tiyana sardonically remarked.
“You could always eat one of these delicious two-day old hardboiled eggs.” Hunter retorted.
Tiyana laughed.
“Where are we, Hunter?” Asked Hongo, as he munched away on his ham and cheese.
Hunter took out his new tablet GPS device, tapped the screen in a couple of places, and watched the earth rotate for a split second before the perspective zoomed in to about a quarter of a mile above their heads. With another couple of screen taps, a yellow line appeared. It showed him their plotted route to Oracle Lake.
“Close Hongo; I was kind of pulling your leg earlier. It’s actually just over this ridge. Wait a minute; did you just call me Hunter?”
“Ndiyo bwana.”
“Well, what do you know? You’re finally ready to eschew the formalities. You are a principled man; you know that Hongo?”
“Silewe.”
“Right, well, are the two of you ready to finally see Oracle Lake?”
“Completely.” Said Tiyana.
With that, they packed up and crested the ridge.

The Blight
Ten years ago, the Blight appeared. A beautiful forest, where the leaves and animals glowed brilliantly at night. It became a wonder of the entire world, and people began venturing from across the continent to visit it. No one took it any more seriously than that, not in the beginning. Then the disappearances started. At first, it was just farm animals and pets. Then, hunters and travelers close to dusk. By the time children started disappearing from villages, it was too late to do anything. The Blight was spreading, from tree to tree like a sickness, crawling out in all directions. The animals and beasts inside it changed as well. They grew larger, stronger, and more ferocious than anything seen before. Simple farm animals became horrific monsters, distorted to disgusting proportions and violently spreading chaos out from the forest. When the first reports came in of infected animals dragging people alive off into the forest... then the real panic began. Towns fell to the Blight, then cities. Armies were sent to push it back, and were overrun. Heroes and legends ventured out, to no avail. Soon, it was public knowledge to all: Those who entered the forest, never returned. ...So what happens when a young boy comes out of the forest, carrying nothing but a dagger and remembering nothing but his own name?
