White Bone Lady began, "A thousand years ago, I was a princess. My country was right here, and back then, our people lived in peace and prosperity.
"My father had no great ambitions. He only wanted to build a good country. We had three neighboring kingdoms, and their rulers had long been dissatisfied with being confined to their small territories.
"Then, one year, they decided to join forces and destroy our country first. But my father was no ordinary man. He chose the finest warriors in the kingdom to fight.
"But the enemy kingdoms had joined forces, and my father suffered one defeat after another. At that moment, a young general named Shi Yan petitioned my father, asking to lead elite troops into battle. He promised victory.
"My father thought he was being reckless and refused to approve the plan. But the boy kept making his case, and in the end, my father agreed. He gave Shi Yan elite troops and sent him off.
"After Shi Yan took command of the elite troops, he shouted at the enemy lines, 'You rats from neighboring kingdoms, come and meet your deaths!'
"The enemy saw that our general was just a boy and laughed at him. But they were wrong. They had come face-to-face with the God of Slaughter.
"One of the enemy generals wanted to claim the credit, so he sent his son forward to challenge Shi Yan. Shi Yan knocked him from his horse with a single slash, killing him on the spot.
"The enemy general flew into a rage, and four men surrounded Shi Yan. But even against four enemy generals, Shi Yan was more than a match.
"In no time, all four generals had fallen beneath Shi Yan's blade. No one from the enemy kingdoms dared take their place.
