As the stone hare collided, a long-weathered, ancient crack in the cliffside trembled slightly and made a light 'crack' sound.
The grey-feathered eagle that had escaped the disaster swiftly flew over the mountains and valleys below, returning to its nest.
Between the valleys, a small group of Black Water Hippos was migrating.
Displeased with the grey-feathered eagle flying above them, they snorted loudly. The Third Rank Black Water Hippo leader raised his head and roared, the power of the Water Element gathering in the sky and forming a torrential downpour.
Washed by the heavy rain, the cliff collapsed amidst thunderous rumbling. The great noise instantly attracted a small nearby Mercenary Group and a Fifth Rank Mountain Bear that resided in the vicinity.
Soon, having discovered each other, the two parties began an intense battle. In the fray, the Mountain Bear, having activated its Talent Magic at full force, shook the earth's strata, causing a localized earthquake.
