After following the trail of destruction through the valley, the protagonists are forced to head toward the Thunder Mountains, a mountain range shrouded in perpetual storms that seems like an unbreakable and dangerous natural wall. The sky above them darkens, with black clouds covering the horizon as lightning zigzags across the sky, briefly illuminating the sharp peaks of the mountains. A fierce wind roars through the summits, carrying with it the echo of thunder that reverberates from deep within the range.
As they ascend, the conditions become increasingly difficult. The ground turns rocky and slippery from the constant moisture brought by the storm, and the air seems charged with an electric energy that makes each step more tense. However, they cannot afford to stop. The apex predator, though invisible for now, is close, and the signs of its presence grow more evident with each passing moment. The tracks they followed in the valley led them to this place, and now they must confront what appears to be the beast’s lair.
In the heights of these mountains dwell equally impressive creatures. Giant eagles, whose bodies are designed to ride the storms, soar above the peaks. Their feathers are not mere ornaments: they have a metallic sheen, sharp as blades, and with each beat of their wings, they manipulate air currents, unleashing thunderstorms. The thunder and lightning that tear across the sky are partly the work of these majestic creatures, who dominate the skies with dangerous elegance. Yet, something has changed in their behavior.
As the protagonists traverse the steep terrain, they begin to notice disturbing signs. Sharp feathers, which should be firmly attached to the eagles, are scattered across the rocky ground, as if something had brutally ripped them out during a hunt. Soon after, they find something even more terrifying: the bodies of several eagles, lying motionless on the rocks. These birds, which should be the dominant predators of the sky, have been brought down by an unimaginable force.
The protagonists inspect the bodies of the eagles, examining their wounds. The marks are clear: the creatures were struck down in mid-flight, ripped from their dominion in the heights. It is as if something fast and powerful enough was able to reach them, and the apex predator that has followed them from the savannah is the only creature that fits these signs of destruction.
Suddenly, a deep, guttural roar rumbles in the distance. It is not like the thunder they’ve been hearing, but a roar that comes from something alive, something monstrous. The very ground seems to vibrate beneath their feet. The roar echoes through the mountain, bouncing off the rock walls, and the protagonists feel that each step brings them closer to the beast.

It is then that they begin to understand the true nature of the apex predator. According to the legends they’ve heard, the ancient civilizations that once inhabited these lands were not only advanced in their use of magic but also mastered ancient forces to create beings of immense power. In their attempts to protect their territories, they fused the most fearsome creatures with dark magic, seeking to create an invincible species. The result was the modified Tyrannosaurus Rex, a beast that not only possessed the ferocity and strength of a primitive creature but was also endowed with magical power that defied the laws of nature.
As the protagonists recall the stories of the ancient civilization, they begin to realize that this predator is the product of that fusion between magic and ancestral biotechnology, a monster designed to destroy everything in its path. However, that creation spiraled out of control, disrupting the natural balance of the world and becoming a threat not only to the civilization that created it but to anyone who crosses its path.
The beast’s roars become more frequent, and the storms that batter the mountains seem to respond to its call, growing more violent. The sky thunders as if echoing the creature’s roar, and the wind intensifies, making the protagonists' progress even more difficult. Yet they press on, determined to understand what they are facing and how they might stop it.
In the distance, through the gusts of wind and flashes of lightning, they glimpse a colossal silhouette. The modified Tyrannosaurus Rex moves among the shadows of the storm, its imposing body towering like a living mountain, and with each step, the earth trembles beneath its feet. Its eyes glow with a dark, ethereal light, a reminder of the magic that flows through its body. The ancient forces that created it have imbued it with power beyond the natural, making it an unstoppable force.
The protagonists stop, fully aware that they have found the monster. But what they now understand is that this is not merely a predator: it is the result of centuries of experiments with dark secrets, a being designed for war, for domination and destruction. And now, they stand in its territory.
As the storms roar around them, the protagonists must decide how to face this creature, which seems to combine the worst of both magic and ancient creation. But one thing is clear: confronting the modified Tyrannosaurus Rex will not be just a matter of survival but of finding a way to undo the mistakes of past civilizations before this unstoppable force destroys everything they know.
