The village was under attack by gardeners.
Because of how fast gardeners could duplicate, the moment the shaky ecosystem's balance was disturbed, their numbers blew out of proportion.
However, like a seesaw, the balance came back to reclaim its hold.
There were no more shadow monkeys for them to eat, meaning they would die in droves.
At the brink of starvation, the gardeners were getting desperate.
Normally, they would stay away from the village. This was because of the massive beacon it had in the middle.
This light produced by the beacon would naturally repel creatures and heavily damage those that refused to leave.
However, the gardeners no longer cared about the threat posed by the beacon.
They were going to die anyway.
And so, a war commenced.
Every villager, strong or weak, young or old, starving or full, picked up their weapons.
The only thing protecting their town were the villagers themselves.
