Some village in Baryala forest.
It was a very peaceful day, the child is playing while laughing, the adults drinking some beer, the ladies chattering about their wives.
It was their harvesting day, so the people here somewhat busy and happy in their new gains of crop.
one of the native here patrolling in their village, he's checking the surroundings that somehow he felt something amiss here.
he unsheathe his sword, and slowly approaching the forest, he saw...nothing.
He relaxed his breath and back his sword.
"i think i have a headache, im guarding here for a day. i need now a replacement." he unguardingly turned away, then he walk...
*grrawwrr*

"Jed, How many hours to harvest this crops?"
A young man barely in his 15's helping his friend collecting the crops.
Jed rolled his eyes and sighed.
"I don't know tell to that old man he's now sixty year old in this village, so he might know what time we finished it." he pointed to a oldman wearing a straw hat, he seems observing the soils that somehow dried.
"Young one's didn't our soil last year isn't dry?"
Jed and his friend smack their forehead.
"old man, it's now a summer season. And its our harvest time." the young man tap jed's shoulder and shook his head. "i think he have a screw loose isn't it?" he said lowly, so that old man can't hear them.
"Even if he's not in right mind, i still respect him. you know that the elders here, they have gone through a lot of hardship" The young man nodd to him, and focused on what their doing.

*GRAAAWRRRR*
"Hmm? Jed did you hear something? i think it is a kind of beasts." Jed squinting his eyes, he close his eyes and concentrating if he can hear it too.
The blue thing flow out to his feet and it became bigger it's somewhat a tank of water spilled in a ground.
"Jed?.... what are you doing? are y-" the young man shut his mouth when the old man make a silent gesture.
the old man smiled. "don't disturbed him and let he do what he can." the old man leave and put his two arms on the back.
the blue thing expanding slowly all over the village, jed can feel the old man walking towards in unknown direction, then suddenly the old man presence gone.
jed didn't know how he do that, but he didn't paid heed attention to it. he only keep concentrating, the sensation he feel right now is can't describe by words due to pleasure he got when he keep concentrating.
*grrawr*
jed disturbed when he hear a low growl in their east side of village. "Néo, inform all our elders that there is a beast in east side of village. after you inform them follow their instruction in what might they can order."
Néo only nodd to him and rushed to all the elders.
"Where is that old man?" Jed again concentrate his mind but he failed to feel the presence of that old man.

A beardless old man wearing a straw hat, his hair is whitened due to his age. a simple t-shirt fabric cloth and a leather trouser, and a towel hanging on his shoulder.
"That young man mana isn't originated to him. someone is observing him." the oldman smiled amusingly. "i wonder what is the outcome of this war."
*Grrrrr*
a low growl from ten meter red bear, with scattered crystals on its back. the claws sharpened by unknown item. "The north side of aproni village is still mysterious than i thought."
*GRRAWWRRR*GRRRRAAAAAAA*
the bear growl with saliva spewed out.
"Requesting for other beasts eh?" the old man smiled, then he start focusing the blue thing on his abdomen making a path to his arm.
*SHHREEEEE*BANG*
A two meter fireball came out on his arm and shot to the bear. *GRAAA* the old man dashed backward and make an another move, he whipped his belly. and the mana on his abdomen suddenly gather in one place of his body, and it is in his arm
*FWOOOOOSHHH*
the fire concentrated in a vertical line it thickness are in three meter, and the length barely can reach in twenty meters.
*GGRRAAWWWWRR*
The fire rod penetrated the head of bear. but the crystal on his back somewhat absorbing the heat and exchanging it to a supplement on bear strength.
*GRRAAWWWRRR*
"Oh, It's a new discovery to 'him' isn't it?" the old man eyes lit up and he nodd. "yeah, i know. that but you mean the ground of aproni village become grassy?" the old man laugh again and shook his head while smiling amusingly. "Kukuku, There is so much mystery in this world. Alright, gotta lead them in aproni village." Then he dash out to this battle while leaving behind the gasping bear and its companion approaching.

A man sipping his tea while sitting lonely, seeing the beautiful scenery on his own two black eyes. he's flipping the book his holding and reading the text in it.
"...The night suddenly became silent because of the roar of the mighty beast...the mighty roar reached the sky while bringing a bloody woman on it's back, the woman fall on the mighty beast's back. the night now can see a flying dragon accelerating its fly downward, the dragon flap again its wings. the air become stronger and stronger when it flapping it's wings against the sky. But a mighty Man carrying his greatsword jump in the sky and slashed his sword horizontaly. But the man died by a passing by arrow and penetrate on his head. The end!"
The man throw his book in outside of the window but somehow it comeback to him.
"DAMN!!! WHY THAT STORY IS BRINGING ME SO MUCH FEELING ALL ABOUT MY LIFE." he sarcasmly shouted, by how he feel on what he's reading.
"YOU. SHUT UP YOUR MOUTH!" he heard a patrol guard in the outside of his cell.
the man gritted his teeth, veins popping on his template. "yes, boss. sorry" the man crush the brick in his beside while forcefully calming himself.
the guard leave while clanging the keys on it's belt.
"Damn!, if weren't for that old man.i think right now i can help 'him' on this ongoing war!" He punch the walls on his side. but the walls suddenly emitted a golden light, like a barrier.
"Even this thing they steal it from my boss, i wonder how many inventions they stole to him" The man only gnashed his teeth and keep punching the walls to calm himself.

"Néo, what elders instructed to all the native of our village?" Jed can see a solemn faces of these people. "from now on we will live in the aproni village, they said." But A middle age man responded to him while carrying a basket full of food.
"But, isn't it the infamous village that cornered by four forest?" Jade bewildered by the elders order to them.
"Uhhh, four forest? what is it again?" Néo scratch his templates and confusingly looked to jed.
"IDIOT!, the west forest called beydur forest. if you make out alive in that forest, you can now enter in the Invulnerability Treaty federation. territory." Néo nodd in understandment, and keep listen to his friend.
"The south forest that we lived in. its called a baryala forest, lucky enough. The beasts here is somehow a few than the other forest."
"The north forest, which is called to deep forest. and that forest is the only what that can't make you out alive." Néo somehow heard this rumor too.
"The last is east forest, they called it tecumver forest, but that isn't the land of treaty amity federation." Néo can't understand why their land look like this.
"So you mean our country cornered by a forest?" Jed squint his eyes by what néo said, it also confusingly why their geography look like this, it's like the forest serves as a shield to this two federation.
"yeah, that's why Aproni village is infamous. because that village is in the middle of the four forest. and that is how first living people make a map based on that village. Because our continent surrounded by the forest."
néo squint his eyes it's somehow troubling inside of him. its so very difficult to live in this state, if it look like this.
"Yeah, whatever. oh, do you know the so called otherworlder human?" Néo thinking it too when he's child he also eager to go in the other world too.
"yeah, do you think the otherworlder is just a subject and want to test the capabilities to the beasts living here?" Néo widen his eyes he didn't think about this kind of speculative.
"What do you mean? it isn't cool to be summoned on other world with some kind of power?"
Jed shook his head, its very difficult to explain in the kids. Néo see his gesture, he gnashed his teeth. "But i'm not kid now, I am a Teen y'know?"
Jed smiled amusingly by what his friend said then he continued. "Its not like that. the otherworlder human they summoned have a power no?" Néo still can't understand what jed pointing at.
Jed can see his confused face so he laugh silently, but it only a second when someone interrupted him.
"It's because the kingdoms want to clear all the forest and make a land from it self. The otherworlder they summoned is just a prop. then after that they swimming in the ground and flying to the skies while being naked."
"KAKAKAKAKA"
they saw the old man who isn't in the right mind proding his index finger in his nose.
"Hey old man!, where are you earlier?" Jed bewildered by the old man dissapearance and also suddeny making an re appearance.
"i catch a fish right there. and i swim in the bear full of fire right there, and y'know, it's super cold" Jed smack his forhead and forgot what did this old man said.
"kid, where are we going?" they make a solemn expression when they heard that sentence again.
"They said we are going to aproni village." Jed said it, but he know how hardship they might go through a lot because. they venturing this forest in full month to go in that so called village.
"Don't worry kid there is full candy in that village and it said, it saw a man with white hair there. and it's very peaceful right there." Jed didn't know if he might cry or laugh right now.
"it's good to be a crazy man" he shook his head and focused to walking.

*Huff*Huff*huff*
The girl forcefully wanted to walk when she heard a many steps walking further in aproni village direction.
She gathered all of her remaining strength then. "HEELLP" she shouted on her might. as expected she saw a old man wearing a strawhat. "p-please help me."
The old man scratching his chin and thinking differently. "are you a otherworlder human?" the woman tilt her head and nodd.
the oldman suddenly dashed to her side and sniff her. "e-eh , w-wha-" but before she could finished her sentence the old man chop her neck lightly and she become unconscious.
he pick her up to unknown kind of power and back to his group.
