Part 1
Due to your waste action, the world has become gray.
To waste of you there is no peaceful way to rule.
What have you done man?
Is there no end to your war?
Young men are sent to war dying of ambitious greed and endless lust for power.
There is no end to the ones who lost everything to your waste of war.
What will become of the future that has no sun to illuminate?
Where is your heart war only brings misery and pain.
Why can't your mouth open for peace… Is blood the only solution?
To waste of you the world is in similar tides of water reflection where no man is right and weak is sent off to die.
No one who is an adult is innocent unless they did a good deed.
To waste of you the world can't justify right or wrong because your propaganda of pretense can't be hidden but can't be seen unless with caution look.
What is your right of judgment and who gave you the authority to judge?
Where are your eyes of right and wrong?
When your ears are closed and your mouth speaks of lies.
Have you gone blind, deaf, and mute or are you a waste of insanity?
Women have wept tears of pain.
Children have suffered and for what exactly.
What about the paper you forged yet hidden with false promises?
Truly the ignorant follow blindly.
The women who supported your propaganda are no different than lustful animals who hunger for power even if it's to lick like a dog.
From dawn to dawn the sun can't be seen because of the grayness the world has become, what is it that made you insane?
You spread like a disease and no sign of peace can be seen on the horizon.
When death comes all will test it the same but the pain is different.
You support wars and not peace.
Men of faith say they are right and all are wrong and who is to point fingers and claim truth as theirs?
Are humans believing the world will last forever?
The peace-loving are those who do not taint their hands with blood and are the right ones who stand for the truth with patience.
Your corruption… The infidelity… The injustice… The broken sickness… The false testimony and the fake scales that measures no weight… The hungry… The innocence… The homelessness… The bribery… The slaves that are treated unlawfully whose everything is taken… The ones who died in genocides… You are no man or a human.
Is it true that a leader will sell his people or that there are humans who live to downfall you?
Look in the mirror if you think the reflection is you then seek refuge because
you have gone insane…

Part 2
Within the underground castle, Diane was running while carrying the princess behind her, the lady of red chasing them madly with deadly blood attacks.
For a second Diane thought that she could lose her while running but it was proven to be wrong because at every turn she could sense them in the dark.
They were watching her not doing anything but that alone said this place was not just some den but a true nest for them.
And thanks to her roars the lights of this castle were gone.
Now in this dark place while carrying an unconscious girl she was trying her best to not get hit by the attacks launched by her which seemed as time went by it was just getting worse.
The question is who else in this place is a threat? Aside from her, the rest seem ordinary but there could be abnormalities like the serpents that were guarding the door to the auction hall.
They were strong, but not close to as strong as blue-leveled monsters.
She started to think to herself while dodging the blood slashes.
Maybe I should have waited for back up but then again those two would speak about for months to come.
No, what I need is a big stage to fight even while carrying her. I can make sure no harm would come to her.
Okay, think… no good plan then let's just destroy whatever I come across and sink this place.
Wait wait a second if she was here then that means others like her are also here, oh this is why I need to concentrate more on things like this.
"Predator Senses"
Woash here aura enveloped the whole castle searching for weak lifeforms.
Ting Ting Ting
No other lifeforms were found that's weird well let's do what's needs to be done.
"Aura of Sisterhood"
Aura leaped from her chest becoming a shell like that of a tortoise protecting the princess.
Behind her the red lady noticed this sending a wave of blood serpents her way.
She didn't even look or dodge the attack as all her focus was on the tortoise shell.
She held it up and threw it while directing her leg which was imbued with aura.
"Kicks Star"
She kicked so hard that it went throw all the ceilings going to the above surface.
Before celebrating she was hit from the back by the wave attack and more slashes came slicing her back that was sturdier than metal.
She splurted blood but stood her ground so as not to fall.
Huff Huff Huff
Gasping, her warm blood was dripping to the ground, and far away from her was the red lady with a smile on her face. "Go…"
She said only one word and seconds later hundreds of serpents popped out from the dark pouncing on her from all angles.
Hidden within the many snakes were two small ones the size of a few centimeters what was more deadly about them than the rest was their color and body because they were entirely made of blood.
Bite Bite Bite
They all bit her but none of them succeeded except some that went for her back and the two small ones were among those.
She was still standing but it was obvious to the red lady that it was over already.
"And here I thought you were though but using that amount of aura to protect her killed you, what a disappointment." She said losing all interest in her.
Before she was just gasping for air but after some snakes got into her body she felt dizzy and the dizziness turned into something else because all strength left her.
Damn, all it took was a second to let my guard down but I'm already done for… I truly am a failer mama… forgive me I… I… I.
She fell on her face. "Thud"
"Huh well again what did I expect all she accomplished was killing some men"

After saying that she left not wanting to stay in the place longer so did the rest.
The sunlight came through the hole she made but it was only a small amount and not to mention it was close to sunset.
What that showed though was another thing because in the shadows something was rising, opening its big mouth to devour the man crusher who was losing consciousness.
This beast of freedom who splits man with her bare hands and crushes boulders like they are nothing has one thing for her strength and that is aura.
She is not a star warrior who breaks through the human limit and can also enhance her body with Ki.
She was born with a strong physical body but it's only comparable to a 4 star-warrior because of that when she uses aura she competes with strong fighters like a 6-star warrior.
By no mistake, she could have tanked the attack from the red lady but when she used (Aura of Sisterhood) she lost half of the aura in her body making the blood attack cut her.
Another reason is because of the attacker, the red lady is no ordinary person.
When the creature was halfway done swallowing the man crusher someone came to the vicinity.
A few minutes ago.
The Viking princess was going through the castle looking for people but after she decided to just head for the tower side then she heard the sound of battle bringing her here.
The happy expression on her face vanished after witnessing the serpent that was in the middle of eating the half-conscious woman.
It was black in color and the scales on its body shone brightly in the dark its length was the terrifying part because there seem to be no end to it.
If it was not for the width it would be mistaken for the dark hall and its mouth could fit three of her but for it to eat the 10 feet tall woman it was taking its time as if not even trying.
Similarly a few minutes ago somewhere outside of the county in a forest, a creature resembling a panther was in the process of eating a prey it caught.
This being was the same size as a zebra its fur was entirely black and its eyes were yellow and brown unlike its species it had hair like that of a horse that was long.
This being radiated a calm aura and from its aura alone the whole forest was quieted down as no lifeform made movements hiding waiting for it to leave.
It looked like an evolved monster but was not because, unlike evolved creatures who gain power from their core, this being had no such thing only relying on its aura just like the man crusher.
In fact, there was a feeling of similarities between them because they shared a connection.
While munching down on the meat its aura changed from calm to ferocious making the fur of every creature small or big stand in fear.
It jumped running for the place its master is though it was told to wait in the forest the master's life was in danger and had to protect her no matter what.
Its speed was abnormal because within seconds it left a path of flash getting out of the forest and nearing the county.
Its appearance caused a commotion in the county as people ran for their lives but no one was after them and the guards who chased after her couldn't keep up.
Because the thing was like the wind and as it ran to where the master was it jumped over an old lady who was protecting little children as she thought the beast was coming for them.
The old lady was the director of an orphanage in this county.
After arriving at a huge building it started sniffing around and where it stood trying to dig a hole and get to the master something came out of the ground.
It jumped from the place readying for battle ut it sensed the master's aura.
Boom
A tortoiseshell popped out of the ground and it was its master's aura at first it thought it was the master but someone else was inside.
Getting closer to the tortoise aura the panther sniffed thinking of what to do with it to protect this person the master's protecting or go for the master.
As it didn't have the time it thought back to the person it saw protecting the children, understanding what to do it held the aura tortoise throwing back to that place and dealing with the aftermath later.
The panther roared just like its master but this one was an echo and if a human heard the echo they could understand what the beast was conveying.
This being lived with humans and knows that when the old lady receives the tortoise aura she will know what to do because of the echo because it encrypted a message with the echo.
Then it became smaller going into the hole to get to its master.
When it came to where the master was, its fur stood as the master was being devoured in front of its eyes.
It flashed like thunder arriving in the creature's mouth where the master was and when both the creature and the Viking princess noticed the man crusher was out of the creature's mouth and in the back of a huge black panther with long hair.
Name: Aura Panthera
Species: Aura Panthera
Height and Length: 2.8 Meters & 3.4 Meters
Diet: Carnivore
Threat Level: Blue
A hunter that can change sizes, being a normal panther in the past it became an aura beast thanks to the love it shared with a human.
Growl
The majestic cat came to save its master giving its despised enemy an angry look.
"Wow, that was amazing I was about to save her but you beat me to it." The Viking princess spoke making the panther jump putting some distance between them.
"Hey, easy I'm a friend at least I'm that thing's enemy so no need to be like that besides there is no way I'll let some snake eat a person in front of me..."
Hiss
The serpent's hiss brought her back to reality as they were about to face off for real because she has been itching for a fight.

Part 3
In the beginning, she thought the man crusher was someone who would go toe to toe with her and make her surpass the limits of her ability.
Because as the 8th seat of Revenant Serpents, her goal is to be close to the one she considers her mother.
But as it turned out, the rumored savage couldn't even hold her ground; even worse, she overestimated herself.
Nothing went her way as so she choose to continue with the plan.
This was something they planned for a long time, all the pieces are where they're needed as the target is approaching all will fall into place when the moon shines bright.
A plan that would shock the world in fear.
She knows what role she is to play although she's disapproved of it, she cannot refuse, and that's why another plan only for her alone came into mind.
The lady in red walked along the hallway that was going down and not away from her was the second tower that functions as both entrance and exit.
In the inner part of the underground castle, there are several rooms and an auction hall, but it's not a very complex castle since two towers stand on each side acting as doors to the outside world.
But since everything is coming down her time has come to move up into her hotel.
The famous hotel in this county that all visitors flock to because, it is run by a beauty like her, but to her, it is just another base.
The comfort of that place is something she enjoys much more than being outside doing long missions like this. Truly to some home is unlike any other place.
Despite her elegant walk in the dark, she wasn't in a hurry to leave because the guard she was left with by her so-called mother seemed to be playing with some survivors.
Every high-ranking member of the organization has a guard accompanying them.
Once upon a time, these guards were king-level monsters, but now they are servants.
Her guard, the serpent that is one with the shadows, has no length in this place as it crawls in every corner watching the action of all that walk in the castle.
On the other side where the Viking princess and the black panther were facing off against the dark creature, things did not seem as expected.
Bloodied and bruised on the ground was the Viking princess not able to be in her new form any longer and next to her was Diane both of them were out of the fight.
Protecting them was the black panther.
This panther that was proud of its speed was destroyed inside completely because the creature they faced was only playing with them at first but as time went on they couldn't take hits or run leaving them to last as long as they could because the creature demonstrated to them that it was much greater than them.
Their resistance was admirable, but all of that was over now because everything crumbled and the creature slithered in a circle the entire time they fought without their notice.
Now the creature was going for the meal.
"There is no way I'll die here you hear me." The Viking princess rose again with difficulties transforming to her hybrid beast form.
She stood 11.3 feet inches with a deer-like appearance on her back the spine had bone trees growing out of it and on her head were horns this is her hybrid form.
Using the core of the mountain spine deer, she awakened a rare zoan-type ability.
Awaken abilities are divided into three types, one is the zoan type where the awaken turns into an identical monster of the core they used to awaken or a beast that has traits with them.
They are further divided into three ranks due to the uniqueness of their abilities common has no ability only can transform into a beast, and uncommon can transform and take a hybrid form. And rare has base transformation and the hybrid form while retaining the abilities the monster had when it was alive.
As the creature circled the space around them was shrinking but thanks to the princess, bones rose and shot at the creature aiming for its head only resulting in its failure to do any damage at all.
She grabbed one of the spine bones on her back, breaking it in half, and as another took its place the one on her hand became a large battle axe.
She swung hard going at the creature with all she's got.
"Hey, cat take your partner this is my battle now and I won't lose." She said to the panther while running at the creature.
Bam
Suddenly she was sent back hitting against the serpent's scales as the serpent launched its head hitting her abdomen.
The appearance of this thing was horrifying before it was only in the shadows not showing itself fully the reason being it's bigger than this whole place and so it's restricted in movement and power.
Hiss Hiss
Its hisses sent chills down the spine of the panther that was trying to find an escape path, but since they had been surrendered, all it could see were dark scales slithering in every direction.
To no end, they failed at every attempt at escaping from the serpent the bones couldn't do any damage and the panther couldn't leave a scratch on it.
Finally, the serpent was going for the finishing move as it was done playing.
Their surrounding which was the body of the serpent turned into black particles like that of smoke but it looked like a giant mouth.
Woash
In one moment, there were three individuals, but in the next, there were none, even their last cries were unheard as the only thing visible was the shadow of a serpent retreating into the darkness.
This was a creature that displayed horror and destruction where ever it appeared.
Name: Dread Serpent
Species: Black Mamba
Overall Size: Unknown
Diet: Humans
Threat Level: Red
One of the earliest monsters to evolve, it hunted nonstop until it met a true predator making it a slave for life.
***
91 years ago this kingdom was on the brink of civil war as nobles fought for power while the bystanders in between suffered.
The crown which is the uniting force of the land was powerless to do anything about resulting in the faction they belong to within the alliance kicking them out.
That year was the shame of this land as the neighboring nations mocked it and even some tried invading it.
When the people migrated and the world watched in pleasure waiting to consume their land the king made a deal with their enemy, the same people behind their predicament.
The deal was in resolving the problem the kingdom faced they'll give land and a title making them part of the kingdom.
If the allied Sun continent knew about this they would have burned them to the ground.
After the deal was made everything went back to how it was but the new kingdom had someone new by the name of Red.
As the years went by many noticed the snakes in the kingdom but nothing could have changed politically and they had their own snake problems at home.
Slavery which was banned resurfaced slowly becoming a bigger issue for the kingdom's people and as the king of that time didn't know the deal his father made decided to join the Scared Order but in order to be part of them he had to abolish slavery.
The kingdom was peaceful on the surface because there was no fear in the people but in the underworld, the snakes were the rulers so nobles still did slavery only behind public eyes to this day.
As for the king of this time because of his inferiority complex when they reached out to him and told him how his grandfather made a deal with them he was offered the same deal granting power in return for everything, he didn't even think for a moment as he grabbed their hand.
He served his kingdom on a plate for a new experiment that's unlikely to succeed.
A shocking show awaits the world and an uncertain fate awaits the people.
Truly man has gone insane…
