The tale of Haleth, the boy with a lantern, was one of the oldest ghost stories from the early days of the Church. He was said to have been a young seminarian who guided the lost through the misty forests near Blackpineville, a province six hours away from District 5.
There wasn't much information about Haleth aside from the fact that he had died in a fire.
Even now, local articles claimed that Haleth's spirit had yet to find rest.
Some described getting lost in the forest, only to glimpse a flicker of lantern light in the distance. When they followed it, they somehow found their way back to safety. The details varied, but the theme remained the same.
Hence, the old saying:
"If lost, search for the lantern. It will guide you to the riverbank where you'll find your way out."
"Hmm." Mikel cupped his face in his hands, eyes fixed on the monitor displaying the article. "What do you think, Doom? Is it worth checking out?"
