The Hunt Begins

Amidst the dense forest, Derek, Kathrine, and the celestial seraphyx had gathered with countless beasts of the forest, their presence a formidable assembly of power. The discussion at hand was a crucial one, the planning of their imminent invasion of the Akuma tribe fortress, a stronghold guarded by three thousand human soldiers. It was a task that demanded careful strategy and coordination.

As they exchanged ideas, a sudden, blinding white beam of light pierced the heavens, illuminating the entire region with an intensity unlike anything witnessed before. It was a beacon of such magnitude that it could not be ignored, and its brilliance drew the attention of everyone living on the continent.

Kathrine's expression was one of terror as she looked up at the awe-inspiring display of light. "We're too late," she uttered in a voice tinged with despair.
