Once upon a time, in a land far away from the hustling and bustling metropolitans.A hermit lived and worked the lands. He worked and earned enough during the days and spent most of his time at night learning and enhancing his knowledge of almost all worldly and spiritually mattered subjects.

Before he lived his life as a hermit.he was once a flamboyant and influential young entrepreneur. He had it all... luxurious house, servants, great chariots pulled by wondrous stallions, and women adored him for his well mannered and charming ways... he was an honorable person.

One day, whilst he was traveling amongst the vast open countryside, he encountered a young country maiden in distress and attacked by the mystical beast called "Fate", he went to her aid. To his amazement, he found himself enamored by the simple beauty of the young maiden, distracted but because of his honorable repertoire he sent the young maiden to her desired destination and politely asked for her permission to meet again under better circumstances.
The young maiden politely smiled at him and said yes. He found himself mismerised... several days past. He found himself utterly distracted of his encounter with the young maiden... thus he decided to send a message to her to politely asked for the opportunity to meet again, to his amaze and delight the young maiden replied yes. unbeknownst to them, they were stalked by the jealous mystical beast "Fate" that was still bitterly raged for losing his young prey. "Fate" is a cruel beast, he has the power and ability to destroy, fortunately for the new lovers, "Fate" only can inflict his powers when there's weakness and insecurity... with the young lovers so much in love with each other, they were both practically indestructible, when they were together.

"Fate", was constantly driven mad since he lost the young maiden... moons passed and the young lovers feelings for each other grew... and "Fate" grew envious. then decided to conspire with three of the Cruelest beast known to man..."Fear", "Envy" and "Greed"... to destroy and weaken the bond that the young lovebirds shared. Every night Fear, Envy and Greed took turns whispering into the ears of the young maiden whilst she is asleep every night. Causing the girl not only to be in distraught but also tired and restless...

her partner on the otherhand who was not exposed to the nightly attacks by the three Beast noticed the change in the health of his dearest... engaged the council of a wise sage for advice on finding the cure to the queen of his hearts, condition. The Sage told the young man:
<"You need to bring her to bask and bathe under the brightest and fullest moon"... "the power of the pure moonlight will negate and cleanse the effects of the attacks". "Meanwhile take this amulet and make sure that the young lady has it on her to protect her from all attacks...remember not to remove it." >

Powered by the knowledge of what is required to save his dearest love. The young man found out that the next fullest and brightest moon was about to rise on the seventh day of the fifth month... which was only a few days away... he did all he could to shower the young maiden with attention, love and support... using all his own life-energy to protect their relationship. Alas... by doing this, the young man was also weakened by Fear, the Fear of losing is beloved queen of his heart. This allowed Fate to swoop in to attack the young man, and left him unconscious.

Lost without her pillar of strength and support...dazed and weakened... she dropped the protective amulet
the young maiden was again the vulnerable to the attacks by Envy,Fear and Greed. Fate quickly swooped in and claimed his victim, victoriously... leaving only the body of the young maiden remaining.
By the time the young man woke up and found the girl's body laying on the bed it was already the night of the full moon rising...(thinking that she was merely asleep )... the young man, lovingly carried the young girl out to absorb the powers of the moon. He laid her under the light of the Full moon...waiting for the effects of the magic and healing, he held her hands only to realize that he was to late... he had lost her. In his Enraged and confused state the young man again weakened was attacked by this time all four of the Beast. But this time because of the time spent bathing under the powers of the bright full moon and fueled by Rage, Frenzy & Pain the young man transformed into a powerful immortal beast... he battled Envy, Fate, Fear and Greed, Bruised and battered the four beast lost the fight.

Even in his transformed state... the young man walked towards where the young maiden laid... held her body up gently towards the moon, for hours just before the moon set... he gave out the most woeful and heart wrenching cry, towards the moon almost like begging for the magic to take effect. Then as the moon made way for the rising sun... and until today the hermit still transforms into the beast during the full moon rising, and howls sorrowfully at the moon in hopes to be able to be with his beloved queen of his heart once again.
