174 Hello

Near Hakone, in the middle of a private property owned by the Homuras, there was a raging inferno.

WHOOSH!

The roaring blaze ate away at almost everything it came across. The foliage surrounding the area turned into crisps, only to tumble amongst the ashes on the ground as the wind blew.

AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

An unearthly growl echoed, making each and every warrior in the vicinity cringe. Within their sights was a monster only heard of in myths and legends: a chimera.

 It's a bizarre fire-breathing creature with the body and head of a lion, a goat's head rising from its back, the udders of a goat, and a serpent for a tail. Strange and fearsome.

It had appeared so suddenly without warning. There were not even the usual changes the portal underwent before it brought in anything from the other world. In fact, the portal had been eerily quiet the past few days after the incident with the arachnids.
