Ibaeran slowly stepped out of the portal with the first thing greeting her eyes being the bright rays of the sun of an unfamiliar world, temporarily blurring and obscuring her vision. Slowly as her eyes adjusted to the sun’s ray her vision returned and she found herself standing in the middle of massive forest.

Ibaeran then looked at her surrounding, seeing the massive trees that surrounded her, gigantic and tall, they stretched from the ground below to the heavens above and from the place she stood it seemed like they continued on and on until they reached the very edge of the sky. Ibaeran then heard the strange echoes life teaming throughout the forest, from ferocious roars, hisses, savages yells and cries of the wild. Ibaeran then looked around once more with a smile and an astonished look on her face, unable to believe that she had actually made it to Dumo Kiri before, with the steel wings of the Su Baera behind her back took off.

Soaring through the forest, she saw all the wonders this world had to offer with it appearance matching what she read in both the former Su Baera’s journal and the book she was forced to read when she first arrived at the castle. Seeing different form of creature she would have never imagined even in her wildest of dreams to possibly exist, even though she had read about them all in the book she was ordered to read by the king and in even greater detail in the journal of the Su Baera, creature like... the like the Tree Lizards, reptilian creatures that resembled lizards with their scale cover bodies but had a slender and flexible body able of maneuvering through the trees like some kind of like a strange monkey covered with scales, or Serpenede, an abominable creature that resembled the unholy fusion between a snake and a centipede, with the slender scaly body of a snake along with fangs filled with deadly venom and the hundred of legs of a centipede. It was one of my least favorite creatures in Kiri Dumo, and I can still remembering in horrid nightmare they inspired…the hound cats were another fearsome and somewhat adorable creatures who hunted in pack, I gave them the name hound cats, due to uncanny resemblance of both a cat and dog with a fairly medium size body that perfectly blends a mix of both power, flexibly, speed, stealth and grace shared between both the cat and dog, with the with the snout and mouth of a dog, and the eyes and ears of a cat. It was truly a peculiar creature, certainly one I would have never thought to actually exist but I shouldn’t be that surprised after all in my travels across worlds, I have witnessed stranger things like a world with no sun where monstrous creature roam the land in a realm of perpetual night or a world filled who can manipulate and bend the four elements to their will, and my two best friends are woman with green skin that can talk to plants and a man with a bit of temper that can also cause an entire nation to quake when he gets mad, so seeing a fusion between a dog and cat is really least strangest thing in my life.

Anyway, believe or not the tree lizards, serpenedes, and hound cats are actually the tames things you could found in Kiri Dumo. Kiri Dum is a world that host an abundance of life in its purest and most primal of forms, the creatures there, though breath taking as savage, wild, and free, for example…

Ibaeran heard a slight something in the forest, startling and filled her heart with a mix of fear and dread as she wondered what made the sound that sound. It sound thunderous stump that made the green grassy forest floor to quake and shake. Ibaeran wasn’t sure what made the sound and caused the ground to shake and quake but was that whatever it was had to be massive and immensely dangerous to be able to make the entire forest shake and quake just by its mere footsteps.

She then heard once, a massive thunderous stump that shook the entire forest, earth beneath her and the trees above her head. Ibaeran upon hearing the sound once more decided to come down to the forest. She then flew down, planting her feet on the grassy forest floor before bring out the book written by the former Su Baera given to her by Ton’Onama. She then began to flip through it, wanting to refresh her mind on what she read in the book about Kiri Dumo and the creatures that inhabited it, vaguely recalling part of the book of creatures massive and fierce enough to cause an entire nation quake, shake, and even crumble down to bit with just a single step. Ibaeran hoped and prayed with all her heart that sound she heard wasn’t from one of those fierce and colossal beasts, not want face any creature great enough to bring down an entire nation with just a single step of their massive feet. Ibaeran then heard stump again, this time though it was louder than before, almost as though what it was that was causing them was inching, step by step, ever so closely to her.

Ibaeran then finally reached the page of the book that talked about the creatures of Kiri Dumo, before quickly reading through; gathering as much as she could in an attempt to figure out just what on the soil of Kiri Dumo was after her. Then, as she read through the pages of the book, her heart kept a beat as she heard the massive foots once more, and then great shadow appeared out of nowhere, obstructing the light emanating from the sun high up above the forest’s massive trees.

Ibaeran’s then felt her heart begin to race with fear before she slowly turned around and raised her in an attempt to see the monster looming over her but was unable to see the entirety of the monster’s body. Ibaeran then, summoning all the strength she could muster, decided it would be best she flew to the very top of the forest to get a proper view of the creature, to know for certain if it was a danger to her. So she extended her elegant still wing once again and took off, flying high up in the creatures that seemed to extend far beyond the clouds in the sky, that seemed almost never ending. She flew and she flew, reaching heights so great that it was as though she had flown past the top of heaven itself and still continuing to fly even higher and higher. But not matter how high she flew she could never seem to escape the cover of the shadow, making her wonder just what kind of creature could have possibly created such a monstrous shadow.

As she flew a certain passage in the book from the former Su Baera sudden popped up in to her head, describing as certain monstrous beast. Recalling the passage word for word saying;

“…it stood above the massive trees, clouds, and sky, its feet as large as an entire city, covered from head toe in green skin with hair that resembled that of grass…”

Ibaeran then finally flew reached the top of the forest and hovering above the massive trees of the forest at the very edge of the sky itself she was final able to see it, a massive set of three massive eyes staring back at her on the head of colossal beast with green skin and covered from head right down to is massive toes hidden away underneath the forest below by grass like hairs. Ibaeran, now face to face with creature, staring at it with a mix of awe, dread, and fear, recalled the passage from the book once more to know them of the colossus that stood before her.

“…the Green Forest Giant”, the words of the book echoed in Ibaeran’s head as hovered above the forest facing the colossal giant that stood before her, gripped tightly by fear as she looked at the creatures colossal three eyes which stared back at her looking at her as though she was some kind of insect. Ibaeran, witnessing the creature’s colossal size couldn’t help but feel small, tiny, like an insignificant tiny inspect that could be squashed at any given moment but then again, this feeling was nothing new to her. Thinking back to each and every time she was in the presence of king, she could remember feeling the exact same way, and again when she was in the realm of chaos and in the presence of the Queen of chaos herself, she even less than an insect, she felt like a small insignificant tiny speck of dust floating about in the wind, and then when she was in the presence of the Su Ingi as well, feeling the overwhelming weight of her power flowing through she could not even bring herself to speak. Ibaeran then delved deep in to her past back to when she was a slave and under the mercy of her Uha Tamunaran masters like the rest of her people, living like a tool to be used by them and treated as nothing more than beast of burden. Her masters didn’t if bleed, was weak, or even sick, they gave her commanders had to follow and work she do, and she, like the rest of her people had to follow and obey, for they saw their Uha Tamunaran masters the same Ibaeran saw the king, the Queen of chaos, the Su Ingi, along with Green Forest Giant that stood before her, as nothing more than insects, who could be crushed at a moment’s notice by the giants that stood before them. Ibaeran then realized something as those thoughts filled her head, and that was she had always been living the life of an insect fearing the squashed, crushed, and trampled upon, and even now, even with the power of the Su Baera she was nothing more than a fly buzzing around with a pair of steel. And as this painful realization dawned upon her, Ibaeran found herself plummeting down to forest below with the steel wings that lifted her to reach such great heights having vanished.

Ibaeran’s eyes locked on to the giant as she fell, seeing something her fear blinded from seeing and that was the majesty of the colossal creature that was before her. Ibaeran then stretched out towards the giant, wondering why it took her so long to notice its astonishing beauty before plummeting down clouds below, falling through the trees before crashing down hard on the grass covered forest.

Ibaeran, weak and in immense pain due to the impact of her body crashing on the forest floor, could not muster the strength to get back up. And as she laid on the grassy forest floor, she felt her eye lids getting heavier and heavier. She was tired, immensely tired, and in that moment she wanted nothing more and to shut her eyes and so she did, slowly closing them until the late ray of light vanished from her view, fading away in the darkness as her eyes closed.
