It was fairly clear that fate did not like his arrival on this landmass as the winds picked up and the temperature dropped even lower. 'velkhana? seriously? i literally just ate though' alex complained as he turned to look at the ice covered blue dragon that had just shown up. she was just as arrogant looking as in the games though it was clear from the look in her eye how cautious she was of alex. the elder couldn't be blamed for this however since alex hadn't bothered to restrict his overwhelming power which surpassed every other elder in every element.
At the same time however velkhana as a species had only ever known frost and ice in it's surroundings so the greenery growing around alex interested the elder greatly. alex had no problem killing this elder normally but he was still digesting the bambaro and couldn't feel any hostility from it so he merely ignored her presence. a loud boom of thunder without any warning was what greeted the velkhana as she began to cautiously approach alex who simply left. 'a clever plan if i was a normal monster but fate clearly doesn't realize that i have the mind of a man so i have no interest in such a thing.' he thought as he sat on a cloud far away.
Indeed fate wanted to try and join alex to velkhana so when freya eventually kills it he would turn on her. this ploy however failed due to the lack of information alex explained about himself and since he was never part of it's plan fate had no other source of information outside what he shared. alex was enraged at this action on fates end and directly went to the location of shara ishvalda which was the origin isle.
The vibrations caused by this elder were what caused the events of most of the iceborn dlc as it destabilized the lands nearby. according to fates plan freya would only find the thing after a fairly long string of investigations before killing it. fate had decided to try and manipulate alex however so he was about to give it a large and loud warning. to be specific high above shara ishvalda in the clouds alex was pumping out huge amounts of water and ice above him in a massive iceberg the size of which dwarfed the origin isle.
Alex's whole plan was to effectively nuke the elder with the two elements it was weakest against killing it and sinking the origin isle at the same time. if anything could be a huge blow to fate then ruining it's entire story by erasing the big bad and the place of such huge importance definitely did so. 'you've been warned!' alex roared startling shara as it finally looked up at the source of the challenge only for its eyes to narrow at the massive iceberg tore through the air blotting out the sky above it.
The rock covered elder tried to save itself and it's home but the sheer volume of alex's attack left no room for salvation and the entire world shook as the attack impacted the origin isle. alex could feel the suppression of the world intensify multifold as the aftershocks of his near apocalyptical attack rumbled throughout the entire planet with tidal waves and earthquakes devastating it everywhere as the plates shifted violently. most of humanity was ironically spared death thanks to their anti elder dragon preparations. the people of the relatively nearby astera merely relocated to alex's nest atop the sturdiest thing nearby , the massive tree.
The sheer death toll of monsters and even the unlucky few people was up in the millions as a direct result of alex's actions but no one knew this except fate itself that understood the warning in this action perfectly. how could this primordial force not understand the message when rather than needing to make small tweaks to it's plans to accommodate alex's actions it now had to redo the entire thing thanks to the catastrophic damage alex did to literally everything. "fuck with me and suffer" was the message and fate could only grit it's teeth and agree lest alex actually kill everything on the planet.

Alex calmed down directly after his attack landed and then he realized what his actions may have done. 'i may have over reacted a little.' he thought sheepishly. ' oh well should probably go check on astera' he thought with a shrug before vanishing as a bolt of lightning. moments later he appeared over the area astera used to be , yes used to be. now however there was merely debris everywhere and some of them heavier or aerodynamic things were still there though shifted. this included the smithy , gathering hub and a ship now firmly imbedded in the spot that once had a small waterfall.
'To be honest i can't say i was expecting much to be left but this is certainly not that bad to rebuild.' alex thought before heading to the battered but still standing giant tree where the people of astera likely holed up. this was proven true when he got up to that height with his wings and his enhanced eyes could see the buzz of activity in and around his nest. 'at least i didn't kill off everyone accidentally.' alex thought with a mental sigh of relief. his approach was noticed by the admiral who was moving crates outside and waved him over.
There were cheers of joy when the people of astera saw alex coming back as they assumed he was here to help. the admiral left behind the crate he was carrying and approached alex who had just landed. "good to see you made it sid , we only barely had a warning about this disaster ourselves. you have any idea what could have done this?" the man said seriously and alex nodded and made "gather the others" signs. five minutes later alex was lying through his teeth and blaming the disaster on the shara he killed.
Alex basically said that the shara was draining the earth veins which destabilized them but when alex killed it it self destructed causing this situation. "yeah the time with kulve made it clear that underground locations mess with your foresight so you can't be blamed." the admiral said after listening to alex explanation. "while this situation is less than ideal it's clear that without your intervention it may have been far worse so you have our gratitude for that." the fleet commander said seriously. " for now though we need to focus our attention on rebuilding , can we count on you?" the man asked alex who nodded.
The society of this world may be primitive but if anyone said they weren't quick builders alex might throttle them to death. a month had passed since the "disaster" and in this time astera had been rebuilt larger and even stronger thanks to alex using his magma powers to make the ash for roman cement. alex had introduced the method of creating the stuff to the people of astera and they fell in love with the cheap and durable material. the entire town had been rebuilt with this cement as a result since they were right next to a huge natural limestone quarry.
Alex had made a few architectural changes however to the town design from the wild "place it where ever" manner that they usually built to a more neat and ordered one. the changes made the efficiency shoot up since people tended to carry things by hand everywhere. alex wasn't ashamed to admit he may have stolen the roman buildings design for the places in the rebuilt town. the port was much wider and alex had even been helping craft a large ship to send overseas to help the other parts of the world.
This ship was far different than the normal clipper style that was made as it was closer to a modern battleship with metal reinforcements and a monster powered paddle wheel system as well as two sails. the monster powered paddle wheel was a well received idea from alex as it gave the people of astera a cheap source of labor and power. the monsters used for this were a pack of jagras who had been attacking the shipments between alex's nest and the new astera that were captured and forced to work for their food.
