Several days after Shien's capture....

Upon the ensnarement of the young map maker, Shien Kidame, Pandora and Marek had been working hard to prepare the world for the coming of Lord Oda. Among those tasks had been them and their legion needing to find one of three artifacts. So far, they'd already had one, about to acquire another and well on their way to finding the other once they had the second. However, in Pandora's mind, bringing the realm of that which once was would require more than just gathering a triad of relics together. No, she needed to bring her home world up piece by piece...

The debut of their demonic patriarch had done more than just temporarily pull him out from his sealed imprisonment, the very endeavor had torn a large breach into the thin shroud that segregated the living from the dead and undead, human from demon, predator from prey. As a result, little by little the beings and creatures of her home world had begun crawling their way through rip.



Starting with the more feral of their kind, only a small handful of these vicious, bloodthirty creatures would worm their way into the world of the flesh. Venturing out from the east and working their west toward the forests and tundras surrounding the villages. Then, of course, there were the smaller, faster-moving kinds that have been able to reach out to the villages within a day.



These little winged beauties were no larger than a dragonfly but one of these packed more of a punch than an entire pack of their larger mammalian counterparts. Carnivorous by nature, these insects will hunt and prey upon Earthen insects of any kinds, have a higher reproduction rate from feeding and are poisonous to humans. While not commonly unseen, they are most prominent with hunting insects during the later hours of the morning until dusk both in places that are populated with humans and bugs. With a lifespan that more than triples that of even the most long lived insects, these things can habitate practically anywhere. After one day, people throughout the northern parts of the Fire Country might notice it was rather quiet for a hot summer day and a little light on the flies on mosquitoes. After seven days, one might be hard pressed to find discarded food or even a rotting corpse being ravaged by an insect of any sort.

And while the flies were seeming to take a vacation from plaguing society, another was spreading. Eight days ago, Pandora had discharged her band of little helpers to help "nourish" the Earth for the advent of Oda's second rising. Upon first birthing, these little helpers looked to be little else than sickly fattened worms with teeth.



However, with feasting upon grass, flowers and other plant life, and the regurgitation of a pulpy discolored substance, these creatures would gradually grow and take form, remember these?

Faster in migration than the hellhounds, but slower than the marsh flies, these covered a fair amount of ground and did an even greater, more permanent amount of damage in a short period of time. With Pandora having spread these all throughout the entirety of the Fire Country, most of Earth and some of the Wind, the results had been gradual. After seven days of her workers fertilizing the earth, the farmers would notice it first.



Perhaps any of the shinobi traveling outside the villages would as well, but after a week, one would likely start to notice the sudden stunt in plant growth. From the grass to the trees to even the most fertile fields of crops.....things were not only not growing....they were dying. No amount of water, fertilization or pruning would stimulate any type of growth either. The farmers couldn't even blame it on pests because even those had started to disappear.

Because of all this transpiring outside most villages, the civilians living well within the limits would likely notice nothing out of the ordinary besides a slight decline in seeing bugs around. However, those in the field of food and commerce would. Thankfully just a fortnight prior to this sudden destitution, there had been a few early harvests, but in the coming week, many a food and supply vendor would suffer a shortage in ordering or being delivered new supplies. That being said, to any of those that did their own shopping they would find that the prices on rice, vegetables, cotton products would rise by a few ryo and there was suddenly also a new influx of people migrating from smaller villages.

Curious, n'est pas?
