Some hundred miles away from Kiba's current position.

There was a village. The village was just some twenty miles away from the core region of the forest - the meteorite from the foreign world.

The village was small almost like a tribe with the number of families being less than fifty. The houses were made of wood under which the families lived.

Almost everyone was either clad in animal skin or thin linens. The children were playing with young beasts while the women were preparing food.

On the boundaries of the village, titanic trees posed as sentries. Large fungus and mutated furling lichens and mosses decorated the roots. The branches were as thick as barrels from which webby chrysalis hanged.

On one such branch, a woman in early twenties was standing with a bow. She was tall and slim, her skin a healthy shade of wheat.
