The houses burned everywhere, with thick flames rising out of them. The painful cries mixed with growls constantly reverberated through the night.

"No! Please, spare her!" The boy's desperate pleas sounded amidst them, mingling with the crackling flames that devoured his village. Amidst the chaos, his parents' lifeless bodies lay motionless on the ground, blood seeping from the wounds inflicted upon their backs.

His eyes stared into the darkness, filled with grief, anger, and terror.

The towering figures of bulging green muscles slowly receded into the night's darkness, and his sister's cries echoed through the night. They callously dragged her away as if she was nothing but a sack of meat.

Driven by an unwavering resolve, he rose to pursue them, but his legs betrayed him, weakened by the numerous painful wounds that covered his body, rendering him immobile.
