"Did you hear about the village a couple miles south of here that was completely wiped out?" Said an Atlas soldier.

"Not sure why you're surprised. Grim attacks are pretty much given at some point for towns and villages outside the kingdoms." Replied his friend.

"That's the thing though, there were no signs of Grim any ware. No Beowolf tracks no Nevermore feathers nothing. Everyone just disappeared over night." Said the first soldier.

"Weird." Said the second soldier.

"What's even weirder is that entire houses and cars were cut in two. On top of that the cuts were just as clean than that of high quality Dust crystals." Replied the first soldier.

"So what did it?" Asked the second soldier.

"Don't know, don't care to find out." Remarked the first soldier. "Anyways we should report back in its getin…." Before he could finish a large figure flew over them.

"What the hell was that?!" Said the first soldier in a panic. Then the figure swooped down on the 2 soldiers, before they could react it landed on them and started to rip the two apart.

"Squad 2 report. Squad 2? Come in." Said a voice from a blood covered scroll mixed in with the unpleasant sound of bones and muscle being ripped and crunched. After the creature was done it left little behind. Only body armor and chunks that could fit inside of a small cooking pot remained.

"SQUAD 2 PICK UO THE DAMN SCRO…...SSSSCCCERAAAAAARRR! OH DUST WHAT IS THAT THING?!" Shouted the same voice over the scroll as the sounds of the creatures and gun shots filled the silence until the transmission cut out.

The sun finally sets as a flock of the unknown creatures, obscured by the darkness, heads towards the Emerald Forest leaving nothing but blood soaked earth behind.
