Monsters: these are creatures that have become more than what they were originally created as. A rabbit growing a horn; a horse blazing in fire; and a hamster with a snake as its tail.

A man, more powerful than the next. Incredibly so that the gap between them becomes immeasurable. Clay is such a man. Born in modern Earth, called to be a Hero, but rapidly grows to be a monster in the eyes of fellow men, and other creatures.

One day, when those that he held dear were hurt, monster or not, did not matter anymore. For they had awakened what truly is, The Real Monster.

The fear of countless men, gods, spirits, and demons, gathered of one single being.

"Blame me! Hate me! Fear me and tremble!"

The Real Monster

When they perceived Alkaid to have returned to the palace, the 6 brothers went to greet him only to find that Clay had Alkaid locked in suspended animation-like state. The one who immediately came forward to stop all others from being reckless was Alioth.

"You must be Clay, the mortal turned ascended. I am Alioth, brother to the one you hold captive. Has harm come to him?"

"Hm? Harm, yes. Some slight bruising and a few scratches. Other than that, maybe a hurt pride as well. Nice to meet you, Alioth. So, this is the Big Dipper Heavenly Ascension?"

"That's right. We are at the internal palace halls of our pantheon's blessed land."

"I thought the Big Dipper were stars in the constellation. Maybe I'm wrong."

"We do represent ourselves as the constellation called Big Dipper, and the stars we put up in the mortal skies are our avatars of the sort."
