Epic of Caterpillar

The three largest "nations" within the single continent of the Realm of Ravenfolt were below a terrible threat. The red skies had now turned deep black and purple, as strange miasmic meteors started falling from the skies since the entire world trembled.

From the distance, the strongest mortals that had good eyesight could notice a strange sight! Their entire world having collided with another, a completely alien sea to them, of the strange color of deep blue, was mixing together with their beautiful red blood sea.

Within the Great Tower of Death, where the strongest Undead with intelligence and wisdom gathered, a huge black tower composed of the bones of giant beasts and black stones and jewels, the Ancient Elder Lich, their oldest leader, glanced at the distance with his empty eyes, glowing with deep blue phantasmal flames.

"Our Realm… It has collided with another!" He declared.

The other Undead quickly realized that their end might be near, the skies were "falling" and strange meteors were constantly filling their landscape, the once beautiful and lugubrious Black Withered Forests, the Ponds of Blood, or the Crimson Grasslands were now being infected by Miasma.

And strange monsters, with a power they could not go against, began to appear, roaming around and seeking anything with energy to devour, be it alive or undead.

"Ancient Leader! The barrier will not hold back much longer!"

"The barrier that we took hundreds of years to create, which channels the Divine Treasure Fragments we acquired from our Gods…?!"

"The very same…"

"Impossible! Just how strong are these beasts?! And we cannot even consider escaping into the skies with our Undead Flying Mounts, the skies are constantly swirling with chaotic energies, if we were to ever touch them, we would be completely disintegrated!"

The Undead Union gasped, from zombies, ghouls, skeletons, living armors, and even golems. With all sorts of shapes and sizes, they were indeed the most peculiar alliance that made a small country within these areas.

They were once feared as the evilest and coldest of enemies by the Blood Demon Empire and the Beast-Demon Alliance, however after many wars and stalemate, the three nations came to an understanding with one another, Undead were revealed to be wise beings, that only protected what was precious to them.

Because of this, the Tower, over the last hundreds of years, has become the greatest library of knowledge within the continent. This was the reason most of the Undead here were all scholars, seeking knowledge and to find the truth of the world of Genesis!

However, now, their greatest fear had come, it wasn't their very ends, as they were Undead, they feared not to disappear, but what they feared was all this knowledge they had accumulated and saved for eons to be destroyed…

"The Great Library must NOT be destroyed!" The Ancient and Wise Lich said. "Amplify the barrier's defenses! Keep the altars feed with many monster souls! Our Gods will answer our prayers eventually! A-As they always do!"

Their leader, however, was beginning to doubt their Gods. It had been many hours now, and no god had ever answered his prayers. As someone that received their Divine Protection, this was extremely bizarre, it wasn't a week that passed without him receiving at least some small oracle.

"Are our Gods feigning ignorance? Are they too afraid as well of the horrors that had descended upon us?!" Thought the Lich, without wishing to speak these things out loud, knowing well his family might grow even more scared.

Even if they were all Undead, with different backstories, they all cared for one another as a big family, living for eternity while seeking knowledge, sometimes, even inspired by the spark of inspiration of the living, creating many magical artifact unique of this continent.

Yet there was a unique treasure they had discovered within this Realm, and a small fragment buried beneath the continent's depths.

"Do these monsters desire to learn the greatest knowledge we've learned, something not even the other nations know yet?!" He thought. "The Portal that could lead to the Primordial World of Blood, Abyss!"

Their latest investigations surrounded a large fragment of a "gate" that, according to the ancient scrips they found in an abandoned Blood Temple, would open a gate to another world, somehow connected to Ravenfolt!

They had found out that, somehow, the oldest race of beings of Ravenfolt, now extinct, which was known by all as the "Blood Progenitors" had somehow created a contract with an otherworldly entity known as "Blood God" that had given them the power to open a portal to their world!

The reason why they desired to reach this world so much was still unknown, but many believed that it was because this world was promised to be the "ideal utopia" for all the inhabitants of Ravenfolt…

"We must protect this Portal Fragment at all costs…! I cannot imagine what nefarious purposes would these beings desire it, even less whatever is within the chaotic skies… That huge moon-sized abomination…" The Lich muttered. "Just glancing at it makes our souls hurt…!"

"You're right, but… even the souls are running out, leader!"

"We only have a few hundred more, and they keep attacking the barrier!"

"Ahh, it's gaining more cracks!"

"We'll have to fight… there's no other option!"

"Raise, my Undead Servants!" The Lich roared, hitting the ground with his staff, millions of skeleton monsters appeared, dragons, snakes, lions, wolves, and many other creatures!

"SHAAAH!"

"ROOAAR!"

"GRAAAH!"

However, the Miasmic Aberrations instantly leaped towards them, massacring them in just a couple of seconds! Their strongest necromancer's almighty army of the dead, capable of conquering a whole nation if he desired to, was reduced to dust in less than a minute!

"T-The greatest army of Undead…"

"Reduced to smithereens so quickly?"

"T-This is… hopeless…"

As the Undead lamented, the Lich looked into the distance, suddenly noticing something strange amidst the clouds.

"More beasts?" He thought, however, realizing they had different shapes! "No… What… what are they?!"

It was a group of five gigantic dragons, led by a huge, white, and silver-scaled dragon with golden horns, and a celestial, bright aura!

FLAAAASH!

"So they're really here, as Kireina said!"

With a flash of bright light, the dragon landed on the floor, crushing the Miasmic Aberrations, and swinging his bright golden claws at them!

"BEGONE!"

SLAAASH! SLAAASH! SLAAASH!
