Perdita: The name of the city. Perdita means lost in Latin
I'm including all of British, Scottish and Irish folklore in it since Perdita it's a lost city in an alternate universe, it's like the "bus stop" of all mythology creature. It's possible to have british, irish, scotish and more folklore because there's only one city or not really one city but I think about Perdita as the center of this alternate universe. Outside of Perdita theres only deserts, forests, swamps that will prob be mentioned on future chapters.
Foreword
Old tales and stories advice to never, never get near the black dog if aforesaid ever wandered by around your house. Old tales and stories all agree on one thing and that it's that the unannounced appearance of the black dog always meant to be the purveyor of death and evil.
Bigger than a regular dog or even a wolf, black as night, eyes red as burning fire, razor sharp fangs it was the nightmare of many around town. Only those who are about to die or are being hunted by a black dog were able to hear them and there are those really few times where one or two has been able to see them.
If you ever dared to mention the aparition of it, you'll be cursed if not by devil by the people who would ban you straight away. Do not cross word with that one who seems to be the next target of the black dog. It was a rule not spoken. A law in low voices.
But Lee Hyukjae has never really believed in those things, none of them. His grandmother used to say before dying that there would become the day in which Hyukjae would understand that there are things no common human is able to see and those are the things that makes them special.
When he was seven he was obliged to read and read about mythology and paranormal stuff as his parents, uncles, grandparents and their parents and so on believed in that kind of alternate world. He was 24 now and long gone his obligation he stepped away from that kind of literature. Still, his holding onto the old books because they're the only thing his family left for him.
They were deemed as the freaks and only now that misconception about them is dissapearing seeing as Hyukjae has been leading a pretty much normal life, he studied as any other and worked as hard as everyone else.
He was already used to this long walks at night. Dark sky and a big round moon shining down above him. The bricks on the road soaked by rain that poured down just a few minutes ago, droplets falling from the leaves on trees that adorned the sidewalk with flowers on spring time and made it look annoyingly unpleasant on fall as there were no more that just a small group of leaves on the branches of these causing a sensation as of things crawling up on your skin even when you knew there was nothing there.
His house is no more than half an hour walking away from his job at the train station. However it always seemed to be much more time as he felt chills creeping up his spine when the fog was more than normal. Not having money to really buy a car nor even a bike there's no other option but to walk as he didn't want to pay for a taxi every night.
Tonight was one of those nights, one were the fog was much more dense, pregnant with silence... light posts blinking more than usual as their dim light was softly reflected in small water puddles on the ground as he walked by. Fastening his step every second a little more.
Hyukjae stopped dry for a second when he heard steps behind him and was tempted to look back just for a while to see who was it but then 'What if grandma was right all along?' So he gulped and took a deep breath before starting to walk again gazing sightly at his watch '1:53' He looks back only once when his in front of his door ready to open it to shelter himself from whatever's chasing him.
-You are not a black dog...-
He mutters when he's already inside yet he sees a dog shaped shadow on his living wall when he turned around to close the door behind him turning on the lights. A black dog would have killed him within a second. In the presence of a black dog he would've felt inevitable fear.
-But then again, who are you?-
Watching astonished as the dog shadow reflected on the wall changed slowly from beastly to a more human one. It even seemed painful the way the shade of bones broke with a loud crack before ripping and going thru skin but never making a sound indicating pain.'If he was only watching a shadow on his wall what would it be like to see the real thing?'
-It's funny how you think I am not a black dog-
When Hyukjae finally spun around mostly out of curiosity he was atonished to see a man standing there, at the far end of his living room his back against the many books shelves he had by the burnt out cold old fireplace.
-First, I am not afraid of you... and secondly you do not seem so beastly nor demonic-
The guy was dressed as black as charcoal, milky white skin, tall slim figure, deep soft voice, eyes empty and dark black straight hair covering some of his face.
-I am a black dog, but you see the thing here is... I am not here to decapitate or slaughter you-
Too perfect to be considered human, too beautiful to be a creature from darkness. Maybe everything he has read till now has been all lies.
-My job here is to be your protector, your guardian... your guide-
-...Why?-
Hyukjae asks, more to himself than to the guy infront of him and he thinks that maybe it wasn't a really good idea to do so as the black dog starts walking slowly step by step towards him as he just backs up against the door the best he can taking a hold of the knob just in case he has to run for it.
-Well... that's because there is probably someone really powerful on the other side who believes you're worth it... or special perhaps. Which make sense since you can actually see me and not many people have the hability to do so... -
-... and who would that be?-
He lets out almost squealing as he felt the other almost cold breath on his face looking at his reflection on the other's death like black eyes.
-I do not have that information... and even if I did I am not to speak a word about it with you-
-You just do your thing and I'll do mine. You just go ahead and live your life and I make sure you are safe-
-What should I call you?-
Hyukjae says closing his eyes trying to remember how to breath again as he thinks that he better start praying because he's sure he'll die tonight.
-Kyuhyun would be it. Your protector.-
A cold breeze made its way through the curtains as he was able to take in a deep breath opening his eyes to see nothing but the dark of night outside and his living room iluminated by the poor dim light of the lamp besides the aged couch.
