A Night of Chaos

Night in Full Moon.

*1AM*

Towards the center part of a continent lies a twin peak mountain that was covered with clouds, can be seen through the darkness by the light of the moon.

To the East is where a lush dark forest that covers at least 5 miles is divided by 3 great rivers. The west was a boundless desert and it seems that no living being can survive by staying on it for long.

The northern direction is a great boundless plain. It doesn't seem to have been conquered by anyone yet as there are no signs of cities or light that illuminates during the night, but can be a great location for someone who wants to build a city.

The Southern part is comprised of vast ocean water that only if you travel through it can you see where the end of it lies. Only the 3 Moons that covered this land at night can see this sort of spectacle and everything in its full view.

The continent can only be described as humungous if someone from earth were to see this then they would be in awe, if you try to compare it with Earth's continent like North-South America and Eurasia combined it was a hundred times bigger. However this continent was only a small landmass compared to thousands more reflected by the moons at night if you folllow this world's measure.

In the North-Eastern part of the continent where the boundaries between the Large Forest and the Plains intersected, there was a certain part of a forest on which were constantly quaking.

A countless group of animals were running wildly seemingly going towards north. Thousands upon thousands were on a stampede that those who can't run faster will be turn into meat paste in every second that counts either big or small.

It looks like a great migration is happening but the rushing countless hoofs and shrieks of these animals could tell that they were leaving because of something or to simply put they were escaping.

The landscape of the forest to which these animals were passing by was completely flattened. The big trees were taken down by their unstoppable force. Some of the animals here were ferocious enough to tear someone from limb to limb in just a minute.

But who can make these wild animals cower in fear and made them escape like chickens with broken wings?

These kind of onslaught towards Aries location cannot be describe by any words, unless someone with experience and saw it personally the only words that might fit this kind of situation was the word 'run'.

*3AM*

Aries was long awakened by the great disturbance happening inside the forest where he was camping. As the ground quakes and sounds of animals enshrouded the surrounding areas. He could not help but pray this would end.

He knows that something big happened and could feel that these sound of hoofs were going towards his location.

He wanted to ask Light about it but he knew that the system only provide simple information and recommendation that was saved to it but not to the point where it will generate a list of possible actions when one is endangered. It does not even formulate a plan to escape and just waiting for his command.

He frowned a little and now was trying to solve the present situation. Since the system cannot help him with it, he must do it by himself. Aries just decided to abandoned the camp and take some important belongings including the bow and some stuff.

He does not have much time to prepare as the sound of trees far away was like being cut down forcefully. He took his bow,stone knife,some ropes and his food. He did not bring the portable bamboo bottle as he thought he would be faster to run without it. As the earth's trembled it was now obvious to him that this is a big catastrophe and he does not know if whether he could escape it or not at all.

"I cannot stay here any longer, the camp won't hold out for this kind of waves from endless hoofs and roars. I must go in order to avoid this disaster, i also will try going north."

He knew that he can't stop the waves from coming to his direction so why not just go with the flow. He still have some time to escape.

Aries hurriedly climb down the tree and started sprinting out as soon as possible. At his back, all his equipment were carefully tied by the handmade T-shirt bag. There are some lights from the moon that escapes from those tall leaves and greatly helps him to see and move in the darkness.

*4:30AM*

Aries senses were hightened to its limit. His heart keeps on pounding like crazy, he does not know where he is, as the map within his mind only covers the area that he passes by. He had long left his camp and this area was something he didn't even visited before.

He was running for an hour and he could feel the tiredness from his feet and the exhaustion from his lungs. He could only jog at the moment while recovering his strength to run again later on.

He stopped jogging after finding out that he was on a cliff. His body were covered with many wounds and bruises. It seems like he also encountered his fair share of pain while running for his life. But he didn't mind it and instead look towards the north.

"I can see a river down there! A great chance to escape this hordes coming towards me! There's still some distance but i think i can make it if i climb down on this cliff!"

Aries knew that he does not have much time for a side route and safely go down this cliff. He had already seen many wild animals awhile back that passes by without a care and going the same direction as him so he relaxed a little.

However a great majority of them was still on its way and what if they've number hundreds or thousands? He knew that he will meet his maker afterwards.

Combining all the ropes on his backpack,Aries started slowly climb down off the cliff with ropes tying his body and the other end was tightly secured on a dead tree nearby.

It was now exactly 5AM.
