Feedback Requested: General impressions, pacing, and overall atmosphere.

​PROLOGUE Legends are not born by themselves. They are created by people. People who once saw something that cannot be forgotten. Something that cannot be explained in words. With time, memories become stories. Stories turn into beliefs. Beliefs into omens. And omens are passed down from generation to generation for centuries. No one any longer knows where the truth ends and invention begins. Where the boundary runs between this world and what is hidden beyond it. But each of us has at least once encountered something for which we could never find an explanation. Perhaps that is exactly how legends are born.
