The explosion enhanced for the Nightmare's plan and subsequent successful 'crash' were not only heard throughout the entirety of the Lost Forest, but also felt.

Indeed, this might be well known by now, along with something else...

That something is that everyone in the area became aware of it.

It was impossible not to do so, after all.

Yes, impossible.

It was impossible for the monsters wishing to feed on the carcass of whatever was that fell to not run with all their might towards that area. But mere hunger was not everything that made this horde of monsters stampede over to the location of the crash. Of course not, they were monsters. Beings made for the express reason to bring despair, terror, suffering, wrath and more to this world. Some were born out of the blood, spit and flesh of the Evil One and nothing more. Others were born from the Words of their Emissaries. And many more were born from the corruption of this very world's flora and fauna. No matter how powerful or mystical they were, all could fall prey to the Evil One's perversion of their being. Even lesser nature spirits, once exposed to it, could be twisted into the brutal beings known as Savage Spriggans, driven mad by the desire to destroy and kill. Thus, the very small chance that the one who fell was still alive and struggling to survive, made going there such an irresistible thing for them.

Why?

Because that meant they could make such being suffer as they teared their flesh apart while they were still alive.

And so, they ran and ran some more.

Like moths to a flame.

But they were not the only ones that were attracted to that place which was still releasing a black smoke making it even easier to locate as the storm dwindled.

Not at all.

Something...no...someone had also seen it.

That someone decided to go there too.

Although for an opposite reason than the monsters'.

There was worry and a sense of duty in their hearts.

As for the reasons for those feelings...

That is something that being only knows...

...hm...... Blam!"

"ROAR—!"

*CLANG*

*CRACK*

*thud*

The storm is gone, and the sun is out again.

"Hm......hm......hm...... Poof!"

"GYAOR—!"

*CLANG*

*CRACK*

*thud*

The fresh wind blows softly and the leaves dance on top of the trees.

"Hmmmm...♪♪!! Boom!"

"BOURRRR—!!"

*CLANG*

*KERCHUNK*

*thud*

The birds sing and the flowers show us a colorful path as we walk...or that is what I would say if there weren't monsters attacking us from all sides and Maevis wasn't happily humming the Magical Girl Sophie Quartz opening song while turning some of the monsters into mush with her shield and impaling others with her spear.
