The forest was already in flames, it wasn't a irreversible situation yet, if it wasn't for a single fact.
[Silver Bastard!!! I found you!!!]
The 8 headed Abomination, Yamata-No-Orochi, a humongous snake with 8 heads and 4 tails, a sworn enemy of all mortals of this world, the ultimate predator and one of the 3 original guardians of this world before the ascending gods started to move.
"This bastard..."
Standing on the tallest tree of the forest, i could see that creature approach the village, as humongous as it was, its movement was ridiculously slow, the distance of 10 kilometers wound take at least a day.
"How far is it from us?" (John)
"He will get here in 2 days" (Old man)
I clenched my fist, most if not all living creatures from this world can't even approach that thing, anyone who does, is hit by a instinctive fear so intense that could make they're heart stop beating from fear.
