The Village of Shadows

Mss_Kim
Ten friends. One forgotten oath. A debt of blood that must be paid. In the sweltering summer of 2008, ten kids known as the "Decagon" gathered under an old mango tree in Laguna. To ensure they would never forget each other, they performed a blood oath, pouring their mixed blood into the dry earth. They didn't realize that something beneath the soil—something hungry and ancient—was listening. Eighteen years later, the carefree children have become overworked adults. Hoping to rekindle their bond, Anton and the rest of the Decagon head out for a long-awaited beach trip. But the road to paradise takes a dark turn. Lost on a desolate road where the trees seem to move and the engine refuses to start, they encounter an old woman with sharp teeth and a smile that isn't human. They soon realize they didn't just get lost—they were summoned. The promise to "never leave anyone behind" is about to be tested. In the Village of Shadows, the Aswangs are waiting, and they remember the taste of the blood offered to them nearly two decades ago. Will their friendship survive the night, or will the shadows finally claim what was promised to them?
