A pack of Dire Wolves could be seen chasing a dying Mammoth, and viscerally eating it after they brought it to the ground. The Dire Wolves eat the Mammoth only for a larger predator to take their kill. The Dire Wolves howl and scamper away. A feathered gigantic male bird-like creature with teeth enters their peripheral vision, making loud and deep chirps and coos. The Pygmy Tyrannosaurus Rex, known colloquially as a Rex stood 13 feet tall on its hind legs balanced by its long and feathered tail,, around the size of a Giant Grolar Pizzly. Speaking of the Devil, a Grolar Pizzly which stands on 12 feet tall on its hind legs, growls at the Rex. The Rex chirps and charges toward the Grolar Pizzly and tries biting at its neck, but the Grolar Pizzly claws at Rex. The Rex bites the Grolar Pizzly’s neck and viciously eats it as well, now having two meals.
Where suddenly, the Rex is shot in the head with a single strike, falling to the ground, dead,
Unter walks in with his army of hunters and mercenaries who provide elixirs that would remove the toxins from the jaws of each creature that hunted each other. Unter takes out a machete and cuts off the Rex’s drumstick, bear’s shoulder, and Mammoth’s shoulder, creating a specialized stew he calls “Bear-Rex-Mammoth Stew”, and finally, adding the meat of giant rabbits into the stew.
The Dire Wolves from earlier join Unter’s tribe of Neanderthals, with even their pups lying next to these savage beasts. The savage beasts being Unter’s tribe. Not their race. Not their people nor culture. But their collective grit.
The Dire Wolves howl when a man begins coming from the east, stomping and howling like an animal. He was an Animalized Man, one of the genetically-engineered species made by ACTION Labs, specifically engineered to be similar to the Gigantopethicus.
The gigantic upright Orangutan meets with the tribe of Neanderthals, Habilites, Erectians, Hobbits, and other Animalized Men of different animal species.
These Neanderthals prepare their spears, facing the giant Ape Man.
The Giant Ape Man beats his chest, yelling, “AWOO!!! AWOO!!!”
“Who are you?” asked Unter, as the Dire Wolf Alpha sits next to Unter. “Easy, Oslo.”
“People usually ask, ‘Why’?” he smiled, as the Giant Ape Man began beating his chest while humming.
Unter senses danger from this man. He activates his blaster but the Ape Man leaps up and hammers at Unter.
Unter tries to take control of the Ape Man’s mind, but the Ape Man counters this, electrocuting Unter’s brain, causing Unter to stumble down and genuflect before the Giant Ape Man. “He has Lightning Thoughts!” yelled Unter, struggling to break free.
The Giant Ape Man shows off his chest and growls, howling as he beats his pectorals while pacing around Unter, panting and hooting while each sound upon the time his knuckles meet his pectorals create an almost popping sound. The Giant Ape Man electrocutes Unter’s mind again.
“You’re from the North…” said Unter, seeing a card tattoo branded on his back. His hand was the seven of Spades and thirteen of Hearts. “Casinite…” said Unter.

“FOR THE DAIMYO!!!” roared the Casinite Ape Man, charging and trying to hammer Unter down with a swift strike. Unter rolled on the snow and blasts at the Ape Man. “ALL HAIL… MORNINGSTAR!!!” yelled the Ape Man, electrocuting Unter’s neurons who proceeded to scream in pain and anguish as he fell to his knees with arms widened and his face looking upward. “Your Alpha is weak. Pathetic. A complete bozo who articulates like a fucking monkey. But alas, I offer a solution! One of a civilized manner! One that does exclude you from this brutish aimless way of living. I offer you a better world! One where we rule!
“NO!!! Peace and autonomy must be achieved by every person, including the nations and states they inhabit.”
“Morningstar Prime offers a way for salvation!” preached the Giant Ape Man. “One that doesn’t force you with inequality! With a meaning of near nothingness. Animalized by these… Murricans… JOIN THE NEW MORNINGSTAR!!! DAIMYO DRED!!!”
“His believers are a cult,” Unter stood still and quiet, stretching his muscles.
“We are the Casinites!!! We offer a land of milk and honey! One with reduced suffering.”
“We don’t care!”
“Leave!”
“GET OUTTA HERE!!!”
“RETURN TO YOUR LAND, NORTHERNER!!!”
“LEAVE, SNOWDANCER!!!”
The Akteonites mocked the Casinite Giant Ape Man. They yell at him, vulgarly screaming at him with disgust.
“You dare look down on me!?” growled the Casinite.
“You look down on US!!!” yelled one.
“Rightfully! You are uncivilized barbarians! I merely offer a gift!” The Casinite bowed before them with seeming respect.
“Plagues happened when you came! Now a third of our men died!!!”
“THAT WAS FORTY YEARS AGO!!!” roared the Casinite, shaking his fist and bouncing.
“And yet we still burn. Plagues like the Red Death or the Withering that came from your land still wipe us out every five years and you call it salvation. This… is… slavery. Using our resources to benefit your land. No nations should be built on the backs of slaves,” said Unter, staring at the Ape Man with willful contempt.
Unter takes out his arm blaster and shoots the Ape Man in the face but the Ape Man made his arm flex just enough to make him shoot some of his men and Wolves. Brains explode, blood splatters, as some women and children were torn to bits by the blast.
Unter cries out in horror reaching out for his hand. “NO!!!”
The Dire Wolves and soldiers, angered by this, attack the Gigantopethicus, who waves his hand and makes all of them bow before him.
“Foolish, Members of Neander Valley… Have you no realization of who and what I am? The Casinites have unleashed this ability of Unter’s… One that will wage another war once more…”
Unter growls and charges toward the Ape Man, who simply beats Unter over and over.
Blood leaves his face, splattering all over the snow, but Unter gives an eerie smile. “Hit me again,” he said.
The Ape Man continued to crash his fists into Unter’s face, blood like rose petals fluttering to the snow, but over each punch, less blood left his bloody lips. He wipes the blood off his face with his own hand. He proceeds to point at the Ape Man with his blaster.
“It is uncivilized to kill a messenger in Casin.”
“It is more uncivilized to threaten our peace HERE… IN… AKTEON!!!” he howled, voice echoing in every corner of the mountains as he proceeded to hammer his foot into his enemy’s chest, before shooting him in the head.
“You just waged war.”
Unter smirks. “Then we will tread in battle with honor.” Unter sighed. “To me my Akteonites.” He turned and returned to the castle by walking into the snowy blizzard’s thin horizon.
