The Fifth House

In the beginning I misunderstood
but now I've got it, the word is good
spread the word, and you'll be free
spread the word, and be like me
spread the work I'm thinking of
have you heard the word is love?


They say that when the dragons left in their fury and took all magic and knowledge of such with them, when small humanity had at last done something so unimaginably horrific that they no longer wished to associate with us, when the last phoenix was destroyed, when the Goryeo General Choi Jaehyun, Korea's White Horse, was betrayed and murdered by the Mongols at Dongnyeong and the Black Plague swept across the world in karmic retribution for our crimes against the beings who made us... They say that the dragons forgot one egg, and left it behind.

Am I not tender? Am I not mercy? Has this changed? Has the world changed so very much? I do remember you. I remember you. Like the others. Like them. You abandoned me. You left me to Him. He doused my fire and destroyed my body. I am here, now, to remind you of me, to teach you what terror truly is.


It was he who betrayed us. We have never known why. He killed his own pack, these children who followed him with blind faith, and used their blood to tear the earth open. They trusted him until the last, when he tore their throats out with his own teeth. Will you also be that foolish, Children of Wolf? Is the power he offers you really so great?


David, David... if you're watching this, then you've already killed me. I hope it was difficult. I hope it was the fight of your life. You deserve no less from me. But there are things I didn't get to tell you, brother. My reasons, my real reasons. Why we were really there, why six brilliant FOXHOUND agents threw their lives away for a madman's plot. David, my brother, my other half... We weren't what you thought.
