Prologue


     Everything was peaceful. But, the silence snapped when the ground underneath the earth's surface began shaking, and the tremors grew more violent with each passing moment. It was like a massive force was trying to break free from the depths of the earth, and the shaking was a sign of its impending release.


     The earth beneath splits open, revealing a fiery inferno as the ground quakes. Lava spews from the cracks, forming a river of magma that flows into the underground caverns. The earth itself seems to groan in pain from its fissures. And it is blaring like a thousand thunderstorms crashing together.


     The ground trembles even more violently as the growling grows louder. It echoes through the tunnels and caves, bouncing off the stiff walls. Then, footsteps follow after, like the pounding of a thousand hooves.


     Suddenly, a blaring roar echoes through the tunnels. It is as if the gates of hell have opened to allow its demons to escape. Raspy snarls and breathless screeches follow the roar, each growing louder than the last.


     As the beasts emerge from the fiery gates of the underworld, the ground shakes violently, causing every surrounding cavern to collapse. The monsters stand massive, and others range in contrasting sizes and shapes. Their skin is as black as coal, and their eyes glow like wildfire.


     Despite the chaos beneath the earth's surface, the world above remains serene and silent. Asbranne Lake shimmers under the bright sunlight like a crystal. Its gentle waters blend in with the colour of the clear sky, making its horizon indistinguishable. Gently, its calm waves crash on the shores, creating a tranquil lullaby.


     The gentle breeze blows across the vast grasslands, and the grass sways with the wind. The flowers bloom, and their vibrant colours contrast with the lush green grass. The birds soar above the lake, and the gazelles sprint through the plains.


     In the distance, a storm is fading into the horizon as the last of its thunderclaps echo. As the thick, dark clouds dissipate, soft, golden sunlight bathes the world with a warm glow. The trees sway gently, and their leaves rustle as the nesting birds chirp and sing.
