Once upon a time, hidden in the midst of an ancient mountain range, there was a small forgotten village. The village is surrounded by dense forests in which various unknown creatures live. The villagers live a quiet and uneventful life, plowing the fields, hunting, and taking care of their families, day after day, year after year. However, there is one thing that fills this peaceful village with fear and mystery – to the north of the village, there is a deep forest known as the "Glen".
It is said that the Glen is a cursed place. When night falls, terrifying screams and cries can be heard there, making it creepy. What's more, those who dare to step into the valley have disappeared without a trace, never to return. As a result, the villagers avoided the place and did not even dare to mention its name.
However, on a stormy night, a strange young man came to the village. He claimed to be a traveler from afar, heard the legends of the village, and became interested in the valley. He insisted on exploring the valley and finding out its secrets. Despite the villagers' best efforts, he remained unwavering.
Early the next morning, the young man walked into the valley alone with a backpack and courage. The villagers could only pray for his safe return. However, at sunset, he did not return. As night fell, terrifying screams and cries rang out from the valley, and the fear in the hearts of the villagers deepened.
Just when everyone was worried about the fate of this young man, he miraculously returned. His face was as pale as paper, and his whole body trembled, as if something terrible had happened. He told the villagers that he had seen a terrible sight in the valley: a barren land full of dead trees and bones. In the land**, there is a huge stone tablet with a curse inscribed on it: "Anyone who sets foot in this land will be subjected to eternal pain and torment." ”
The young man said that he tried to leave that place, but no matter how far he went, he couldn't leave the cursed land. He heard horrible screams and cries of souls trapped there struggling in pain. He felt endless fear and despair, and it was not until dawn that he found his way home.
After listening to the young man's description, the villagers were even more frightened. They decided to seal off the valley and forbid anyone from approaching the cursed land. However, the young man's experience aroused the curiosity of some. They began to wonder if the young man had really encountered a curse, or if he had made up a terrifying story to terrorize the villagers.
In order to find out the truth, a few brave young men decide to go to the valley to investigate. Armed with torches and **, they set out on the road to the Glen. However, they never returned. Every night, the valley is filled with terrifying screams and cries, making it impossible to sleep. The villagers grew frightened, and they began to pray that the curse would go away.
It was at this time that an old woman came to the village. She looked very old and carried a heavy package on her back. She tells the villagers that she knows how to lift the curse of the valley. The villagers were amazed and eagerly asked her what help she needed.
The old woman told them that to lift the curse, it was necessary to find the moment when the handwriting on the stele disappeared. Only in that moment can the shackles of the curse be broken. However, this requires a person to be willing to sacrifice their own life and wash the handwriting on the stele with their own blood.
Hearing this request, the villagers were horrified. No one wants to sacrifice their lives for a curse that may not exist. However, it was at this moment that the young man who had first walked into the valley stepped forward. He said, "I'm willing to go." ”
He tells the villagers that he knows he is one of the people trapped in the curse. He could hear the screams and cries of those souls every day, and feel their pain. He hopes to put an end to it and stop the villagers from being plagued by fear.
So, the young man, armed with a sharp sword and a bottle of red wine, walked into the valley again. That night, more terrifying sounds came from the valley than ever. The villagers covered their ears tightly and prayed for his safe return.
The next morning, however, he did not return. Instead, there were no more terrifying sounds in the valley. The villagers were astonished, and they rushed to the edge of the valley in the hope of seeing the young man. However, all they saw was the huge stone tablet, and the curse had been inscribed with it.
From that day on, there was no more terrifying sound from the valley. The villagers began to re-enter the land to farm, hunt, and take care of their families. They were glad that the terrible curse was finally gone.
However, the story of the young man has become an eternal legend of the village. They say that he is a true hero who broke the shackles of the curse with his own life. Whenever night came, when the stars illuminated the valley, they could see the figure of the young man, standing in front of the stone monument, guarding their home.
