Alexander was hunting monsters in the heavens as his thoughts drifted to past experiences from a life he wished he could forget.
Flashes of battles that claimed the lives of dear friends and loved ones, monsters and people who caused pain just for the fun of it, emotions that made him hate himself for feeling them at the time.
Thinking about one specific event that could be close to occurring set his teeth on edge even more than the battles with monsters that could break the mind.
He would never forget the day that he learned about the Cosmic beasts.

The armies clashing slowly stopped as the cackling of a madman boomed over the sky, the pope had just finished a spell that was meant to grant him instant victory and as far as he was concerned, he had won.
The armies only knew that a flash of light had blinded them all and suddenly a battle of continental scale was instantly over.
Under the silence of the battlefield and the laughing pope they began to feel it.
