The Battle (1)

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion erupted as a five-beam colored light crashed into the inner depths of the Bestial Forest. The beasts nearby felt it instantly—the tremor of intrusion—and rage surged through them. Some believed it to be a treasure, for those dwelling deep within were already awakening their intelligence.

But in the very next breath, a vast, domineering aura descended upon them. Fragmented memories stirred within their bloodlines, ancient echoes warning them of creatures that once bore such fearsome pressure.

In an instant, panic overcame them. They scattered—fleeing for their lives, unwilling to be caught in the presence of such a being. Even the creatures in the forest's core felt it. The aura. The overwhelming force. And they dared not investigate, sensing clearly that a battle had already begun.
