My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

-----

Within the dreams of Miriam, something odd she had never seen before was happening, gigantic monsters of all shapes and sizes were speaking to her directly, about something… It was as if something was occurring which put them all in a concerned mood, some were even as desperate as to scream to her wrathfully.

"My lady, please you must help us! The humans have acquired forbidden power! They had resurrected the head of my clan; they want to use his rotten corpse to conquer the Land of the Beasts!" Cried a gigantic, Black-scaled snake with a third red eye in the middle of its forehead, right between its two fiery, purple-colored eyes. The snake was titanic, reaching up to tens of meters above the heavenly palace, which looked as if it were made of clouds, endless as the sky.

"You cannot remain in silence anymore! You're our protector, our Lady! Beast Goddess, please!"

"Please, help the Uroboros Clan!"

"We implore of you, aid us! Please!"

"If you don't do anything… Then the corpses of our ancestors will be desecrated by the humans for their vile purposes, the Land of the Beasts is in danger!"

"Those damned humans… To think that such weak beings that arrived from that enormous gate that once opened connecting to a different plane would bring so much destruction…!"

"I yearn for the days we once devoured them all like the ants they were!"

"Some had fantastical powers, and they began enslaving us afterwards, however…"

"They called this new land as the World of Monsters, but we are not monsters, we are Divine Beasts, we are the inhabitants of this world!"

"Damned humans!"

"Kill them, our lady, please, kill them all!"

"Kill!"

"Kill the humans!"

The woman listening to the pleads of the Beasts gritted her teeth, as she sighed sadly, she couldn't even bring herself to look into the eyes of her beloved Beasts, she was treated as their Lady, their Creator, their Mother, even, she was the one that was at the beginning of this world, the one that brought them all, the creator of all Clans… But now, she had reduced to a woman tormented by guilt, by what she had done…

"I have… already killed millions of humans… I have killed their children… I have killed their elderly… I have killed those that had yet to be born… What more do you want me to kill? I killed so much… I don't… I don't want to stain my hands anymore with Human blood…" She cried, as she covered her face, tears flowing out of her eyes.

The Beasts remained in silence, looking at their holy mother cry so sorrowfully that they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of sympathy for her, they pitied her, and some even extended their legs, tails, and claws to pet her and hug her.

"I… I am sorry…" She Cried. "I have seen so much bloodshed, from both sides… I cannot bring myself to kill anymore… I have sinned so much… Humans… they're living beings, just as much as all of you are… They have families, they fight to survive, and they live to reproduce and take care of their children… They even take care of their elderly, and appreciate their wisdom… Humans are… beautiful creatures… I don't want to kill them anymore… They're also beasts, much like any of you, they have the right to live." ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

<br/>Her words were absolute, as the Beasts heard her, she was not going to aid them in their predicament… Some beasts felt saddened, others felt pity for her, and others… others couldn't understand her.

"But my Lady, killing their children is nothing compared to what they had done to us!"

"They have enslaved our children! They have made them become wild savages… They had forced them to obey them like tools!"

"How can you not see that they're vastly different from us?"

"They're the monsters! Humans are not beasts; I would say they're even like demons!"

"Malicious and vile demons! Children or not, they'll grow up to enslave us, kill the children, or kill them before more of this plague is born!"

"My Lady, reconsider this!"

The Clans that opposed her words were the Uroboros Clan, a clan of giant snakes, the Bahamut Clan, the Clan of Dragons, and the Cerberus Clan, a Clan of Wolves… Giant Wolves, Snakes, and Dragons protested against her decision, their enormous and intimidating bodies could bring fear to anybody, especially the strongest of their clan present here, said to shake heaven and earth with their very footsteps.

"My decision is already taken… I have sinned. I won't… Do more mistakes anymore. I shall become a watcher… For eternity." She cried.

"…"

"…"

"…"

The three conflicting Clans looked at her hatefully, hating their own mother and creator for her cowardly and her sensitiveness. Despite being so powerful, despite being able to actually bring an end to this endless conflict, she decided to not do anything, and remained in silence as she looked into the distance of the skies… The Beasts Clans left, as only some remained. An old black and golden turtle, a beautiful vermillion bird, a white tiger with an icy aura, and an azure dragon, as old as all the Bahamut…

"Our Lady… We shall stay at your side no matter your decision."

"Your words hurt the younger ones, but they must realize their situation."

"I don't see anything different than when clans fight against one another, they had slaughtered each other even more than humans had ever done, countless clans had been extinguished over the wars…"

"Yet… when humans are involved, they're quick to ask for your help, as if it wasn't any different than when they wage war against their siblings and slaughter one another…"

The four beasts spoke words of wisdom, trying to cheer her up, but the lady remained in silence, her eyes seemed sorrowful, as tears flowed slowly through her eyes.

She looked into the distance, as the sun slowly set from the skies below the vas mountains. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

"I wonder… What will the future be like…" She sighed.
