Numbness, that’s all Zeus felt. Curled up in his cave he felt no need to move from the spot he’d laid in the last few years now.

And yet, as he laid there peacefully, the deafening Impact of an unknown object was the catalyst that caused the slumbering giant to finally move from the spot he’d stayed in for all these years.

“What?”

Daere flinched, even Styx was silent in his old companions visor.

All of the others were silent, terrified of the old wizards power that flowed menacingly around him at the sentence butter had uttered.

“Is this some kind of sick joke? You want me to laugh and say ‘oh what a good one!’?!” Mal sneered, the floor starting to shake, causing all of the others to be on edge.

Right as mal was about to continue his sentence, the deafening crash of an object hitting the surface of Terrah shook the ground.

Mal stiffened, “something isn’t right.” He said, anger quenched briefly and being replaced with concern.

Turning to face them, “we will deal with this later.” He said, eerily calm.

Walking out the door mal froze, there were strange plants growing in his forest. The snarling vegetation was not the normal wild undergrowth the wizard had familiarized himself over the millennia he’d been a botanist And warlock.

Growling lowly, mal summoned his magic and shifted into his dragon form, towering over the trees the wizard opened the massive maw on his belly and allowed his tentacle like tongues to slide out and begin eating the strange snarling plants.

The magic that surrounded them was foreign and alarming to the old wizard, he didn’t know where these things had come from but he certainly didn’t like it.

“Mal!!!!”

Maleficent didn’t acknowledge his friends as he continued to devour the plants, only for them to annoyingly grow right back!

“Stay away!” He boomed, lighting the plants on fire while protecting the rest of the forest.

Slithering down from his cave, Zeus stared out at the expanse of the forest, seeing the snarling plants be devoured by a massive dragon like terra, who was that terra? And why did he seem so familiar?

The ring in his visor pulsed, the ache in his chest was so strong it winded the fossil giant, he didn’t know why this was happening, or who he was, but Zeus wanted to know. He wanted to see him.
