Let me explain. The moon where I'm from is often called the Great Calamity, for it will one day destroy our world. I am one of the wizards chosen by the Master Sage to help ward it away every year.
Now, the Great Calamity has been growing in power as the centuries past, to the point that last year, one-half of our comrades had turned to stone. The other half, meanwhile, were given various afflictions that greatly affect us in our day to day lives. The one you saw that night was my affliction that had returned all of a sudden.
