"Yeah...no."
The Minotaur exhaled steam, every circuit in its armor and weapon glowing. Was it wise to continue without a clear way to hit the one atop the beast...?
If they stayed much longer, they were about to find out.
"Let's wrap this up, yeah? I'd much rather get back to my game."

--flying a few yalms, while the Minotaur whipped its massive weapon around, the sheer force knocking the Warrior away similarly.
The people had gotten a safe distance by now, the boy glaring down at Alisaie.
"Well, there goes my lesson in obedience! I suppose you'll have to learn instead."

"Easy. Anyone who doesn't want to die."
He didn't even look up from his device. He tapped it with his thumb one last time, and what seemed to be a laser shot down, sure to have pierced through and obliterated them...if it hit.
Instead, it simply blew away the ground near Alisaie, sending her--

"Hah? 'Murder'? 'Picking on'? This is just my right and responsibility as emperor!"
He was drunk on his own power, speaking with glee.
"Anyone who rejects my rule should die, obviously. I suppose that incudes you!"
He pulled out a tomestone-like device, tapping away at it while the Minotaur--

In the smoke, it was difficult to see, but nothing here possessed that distinct Allagan glow except the beast's armor and weaponry, as well as the boy's face.
Most of the townsfolk had fled by now...would this terrible duo pursue? The beast didn't look fast...

--worse so far, the beast preparing for another strike to the ground.
"You want to strike at your emperor? With something that flimsy?! Don't make me laugh!! Dodge this, you little worm!"
Again, it struck the ground, lifting a large, displaced slab of rock, preparing to throw it...

Again, the shield activated. Both the green tyrant and the beast were unharmed. It seemed whatever technology was protecting them would need to be dealt with first...but could he do so in the middle of this chaos? Did he know where to start?
The battle was only making the villagers' situation--

--taunt seemed to work, the Minotaur raising its massive metal sickle-like staff...and slamming it down on the ground, the earth splitting violently in a straight line towards the warrior.
Homes and structures collapsed all in its path.

It ricocheted off of some sort of shield that was only visible for a moment, and at the point of impact.
The boy's green eyes shifted to fix on the offender, his sneer only growing.

A green-haired boy sat upon a massive Allagan armor-clad Minotaur, cackling at the scene and pointing.
"That's what you get for disobeying your emperor, ooooobviously! I don't need such idiotic subjects! Ahahahaha!!"
He sneered in delight at the carnage.

It's a scene from hell.
Only some of those fleeing make it, others set upon by beasts drawn by the chaos. At the very least, those doomed to such a fate kept the chimera busy long enough for some to reach the scions.
Laughter could be heard from the direction of the voice. It seemed to be--

Fire indeed. The closer he came, the more the smell of smoke became impossible to ignore, until it was overpowering entirely.
A small settlement was burning, people fleeing, tripping over the bodies of those who failed to. It was utter chaos.

The continent was vast, but for all they could tell, this part at least was utterly overrun with the things.
A light was visible, though faint in the distance. It carried the hue of fire.

For now, all that came were beasts.
Thinner in number, at least for now, but even through the night, snapping and howling interrupted the slumber of those not on watch.
Whoever it was causing trouble on the continent, he didn't seem to consider them a threat yet. No coordinated attacks came.--

Only after hours had passed had they cleared the area against the ruins of a stone structure.
It would do as a temporary base, though its protective qualities were severely lacking.

The beasts were vicious, however, and even the experienced scions were unable to get through unscathed.
It was here that the beasts were most feral, after all, and the cries of those being put down drew more.
A bitten leg, a scratch against the torso...his friends would suffer on his behalf.--

NORTHWEST
Small settlements persisted, but a sense of unease permeated the very air. The people kept their heads down, going about their days amid the pressure that threatened to crush their spirits.
A man in a military uniform that was distinctly out of place stood in the nearby plaza, observing.

NORTH
The north most border of Meracydia was oddly silent. Even the larger wildlife common to the region had been displaced.
In their place, medium-to-large chimera roamed, defiling the land, leaving it barren as they fed to the last speck of green.
These unnatural animals still looked hungry.
