Fire and molten lava cascaded down from the mountain peak, consuming the forest and painting the sky in an ominous crimson hue. Creatures of the wild fled in terror, unable to distinguish between friend and foe. All of nature seemed to tremble before the emergence of this ancient being.
Perched firmly on a high branch, The Sage Rat's keen eyes observed the devastation unfolding before him. "If we don't stop it, everything will collapse" he murmured.
The Wise Crow responded in a somber tone. "But this is not something we can simply defeat. This is nature's wrath, born from the dawn of time."
At the foot of the mountain, a colossal entity with blazing red eyes rose from the ashes. Its body was a fusion of rock and fire, as if the mountain itself had taken form in the shape of an enraged god. Its breath was a storm of flames, and with every step, the earth cracked beneath it.
From the ocean, The Abyssal Dragon King gazed upon the erupting volcano. "I have heard legends of this being… The forgotten god, the guardian of balance. But if it awakens in fury, nothing will be able to stop it."
The Sage Rat clenched his claws. He had been prepared to fight against humanity, but now, a far greater threat had arisen.
From the sky, hunting birds dove toward the entity but were flung aside by waves of scorching heat. Beneath the ground, burrowing creatures tried to escape, but lava seeped into the deepest cracks, burning away all means of retreat.
The Sage Rat looked up at the colossal deity, his voice unwavering despite the chaos. "If you are a part of nature, then hear me! We are not your enemies!"
But the being did not respond. It only advanced forward, each step an unspoken judgment upon all.
"The Sage Rat!" A voice rang out. From the distance, a massive turtle emerged from the earth, its shell etched with ancient inscriptions. "There is a way to seal it!"
All eyes turned to The Sage Rat. The war against humanity was temporarily set aside. Now, the survival of the entire world depended on how they would confront the god of fire.
