Eventually, I had to leave the settlement before they noticed that I wasn’t aging. I moved to a small hut I built not far from the village, where I settled alone. My daughter stayed behind, but she visited me regularly. Most of the time, life was peaceful and quiet.

However, there were nights when strange creatures attacked. These beings, who called themselves Urakneas, were monstrous. Their faces resembled beasts with massive, protruding teeth, and their eyes glowed a menacing yellow in the dark. They made pig-like noises, their skin was rotting, and they had long, clawed hands and feet.

The Urakneas only emerged at night, searching for the settlement to launch their attacks. Fortunately, they very loud beings and they weren’t very clever, so I could easily track and kill them.

I remember my first encounter with the Urakneas. It was late at night, and I was asleep when loud growls jolted me awake. I went outside to investigate and saw them approaching. I quickly retreated inside to grab my spears, which I had kept since the battle with the monster snake. They were already banging on my door when I returned. As soon as I opened it, one of the creatures lunged inside. I impaled it with my spear, and it let out a screech before collapsing. I did the same to the next two that followed. During the fight, the third one managed to wound my arm with its claws, but my rapid healing took care of it quickly.
