A tiny pebble fell and bounced among the pillars inside of an immense cavern, ancient rocks caked with dust shook slightly.
The pebble may be insignificant but the pillars were now visibly shaking.
The molten ball of magma was situated in the center and the pebble fell, disintegrating before it could actually touch it. However there was the boulders and columns of rocks which were way to big fro the heat to dissolve alone, the magma core was shattered apart as it was disrupted,
An endless amount of rocks kept on falling and falling.
[Surface of the plane]:
"Chief, the Rhinos are getting restless, something is happening nearby, we best move now" one of the men on watch duty called to the chief and the chief got up. "Get ready to move men, these beasts have saved our skins many times over with their behavior so if something dangerous is coming, then it is better not to question"
No sooner had he said this fact when the Dune Rhinos immediately went on a rampage, as if they were fleeing for their lives.
"Not good" the chief exclaimed, the blood draining from his face. "Leave everything run, the rhinos have never acted like this before"
It was true, on the Wind Moon of Aeriola, there was no natural predators for the Dune Rhino, as such the rhinos rarely bred and rarely produced a child, they would only die of natural causes. So for the Dune Rhinos to run as if their life depended on it then something apocalyptic must be happening.
The men tried to get the rhinos to calm down but to no avail did they stop, at best the men could throw their families onto the backs and hope for the best.
The ground began to shake, before shattering into many pieces, the earth was falling, the sand making an eternal slide down into a pool of blazing fire. The glass in the sand cut the skin of many even blinding others. The first scream sounded far away yet it was possibly the man next to you.
The chief ran for his life, no worldly possessions could make up for his life even if he was paid all the water satchels, jewels, ancient teachings, women, or grand cuisine in the entire moon.
A rhino had collapsed and was desperately trying to get up, its cries wailed through the night as it fell into the magma below.
Tents went flying, people scrambled, fell, attempted to correct their center of gravity, Others manage to flee in time, but the hole in the ground kept on expanding. The chief helped up one of his tribe mates but because of this action he lost his footing and he desperately grabbed at what he could to save himself but nonetheless fate was unkind and he plummet to his death.
----------------------------------------
All around Aeriola the world was collapsing, the only safe place was the skies, All the tunnels that were dug into the body of the planet was collapsing on itself, crushing those underground. The underground territories, all the insect hives wailed as their colonies collapsed, refugees from all over the world flooded toward the floating cities and monisteries of the Wind Nymphs, Wind Elves, and Wind Disciples
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
As the land collapses the Wind Disciples were trying to create sky islands to contain all the species that still remain.
Aside from their 3 Monasteries 4 Cities and 9 outposts, they had raised about 22 miscellaneous islands filled with refugees. Though there were some islands that were just wild terrain, may it be just desert to an oasis filled with water and plants.

Julie watched all this happen and more, On Aeriola is was the collapse of the ground. Jugganautilus, the Earth Eating Moss managed to make it to the core, heating the water immensely and making the deeper underworld unlivable. The warm water rose, and the cool water from the water ring collapses, The heated water is conflicting with the ice-attribute aquatic species.
Nekindoar had no notable changes except for the fact the amount of dead now greatly exceeds the amount of people living.
Sof was still recovering from the war with Kylia but the threats of the undead were starting to grow, A small and punitive force has gathered to act as a bodyguard for all the species of Sof though their efforts are unsuccessful as they do not know the nature of their opponents.
Terra-Collant: The war between the natural inhabitants of the moon and the creatures of the void is getting more and more intense as slowly, more and more openings to the void are opened.
The void is a endless region and the residents of the void are taking the planet in a wave of extinction,
The only thing that seems to be able to ward off the void-creatures are the Guardian Obelisks but even they are slowly being hunted to extinction
The species that have fallen to the void creatures include:
Mushroom Men,Ember Sprites, Withered Mushroom Men, Mindless Shadows, Ground Sloths, Wax-O-Lantern, and more species are on the brink of extinction.
The Earth Moon is slowly being converted into the Void Moon, unless the inhabitants can return the other realm invaders to the void their moon will be no more.
Aetherion is advancing smoothly, the current tech level is medieval times with widespread iron armor and knew machinery though a current breakthrough will soon lead into the industrial era.

Julie sighed at all the destruction that was happening before her eyes. Her divine points were rapidly shrinking and beginning to cease existing entirely.
Already some of the lesser gods have disappeared for the lack of divine points going around. The divine points were already in the lower Millions and were going to reach the negatives soon.
