Hum, hum, hum!
Suddenly, the mountain range trembled, and the earth shook violently.
Then, one of the smaller mountains came to life, shaking off soil, plants, and smaller beasts as it began to rise.
The seven-tailed fox watched in awe and reverence as the figure's head was revealed to the world after so long. It was shaped like a snake's head, towering nearly 1.7 kilometers above the fox.
"GO, TELL EVERYONE TO BE PREPARED—TO DIE OR TO KILL. THE FATED PROPHECY IS NEAR. BUT WE WILL NOT GIVE UP, NOT WHILE I AM STILL ALIVE."
The unfathomable creature spoke in a deep, soul-penetrating voice.
"Yes, my lord. Thank you for your guidance!" The fox spoke respectfully, but there are some tears forming under It's eyes. Knowing what the prophecy was about, it was only natural.
Just as Aria's consciousness reached their location, she froze, her heart racing at the sight of the colossal creature piercing through the forest, dwarfing the sky.
