Even in the middle of the day, the forest around the Xera Village was nearly swallowed in the shadows. The few beams of sunlight pierce through the canopy towering in the sky of massive green leaves. The various beasts could be as small as a hand or just as towering as the mightiest master of their domain.
Only Sky Realm beasts were nearby as the Fiends had killed or driven out the rest but even so, those beasts' numbers far exceeded what even a Heaven Realm could deal with.
In the shadow of a dark willow tree, a voluptuous demoness hid herself as her glittering eyes took in the life around her. She had been spending the last month getting a feel for all that lived in various wilds past the villages but the current one was odd.
The beasts were very docile and subdued. Nothing was hunting them and she had noticed a few predators skirt around their normal prey of herbivores to fight each other.
