Its common knowlwedge! The blood red sky signifies the death of a king! That was the common superstition in the village.
I'm not one for superstitions, I just went about my business, having fun exploring nature. I usually just go fishing or hunting, but today, I wanna go hiking.
Told my friends but none of them seemed interested, so I went alone. It was the only mounfsin in the village, its safe since its a dormant volcanic one. On reaching the peak of the mountain, to my surprise...it was just about to erupt, well, I tried running to warn the villagers...
Too bad we wouldn't live to tell the purpose of the blood red sky.
