From frothing pungent dark ooze a strange reaction occurs. The ooze begins to shape itself in the huge pit where it had stayed for centuries awaiting for this moment of awakening. Its been too long since the last one. The world hungers for his presence. It was preparing for this moment since He went to sleep a millennium ago.

The ooze had begun bubbling vigorously and rising. A pillar of ooze was formed which sprouted limbs, a head and eventually a being so terrifying that the creatures inhabiting that foul place for ages ran away.

It has a pitch black body with studs of pearly white spikes jutting from everywhere. The body is thick as stone, somewhat like an exoskeleton. It has huge muscular limbs with sharp talons at the ends of its fingers and toes. Its face is humanoid, yet the immense scales and bones protecting the deep red eyes give an appearance of it wearing a medieval warrior's helmet. A huge muscular tail extends from its rear the tip of which has a really sharp edge.

In fact, it looks more like a black devil in the guise of a medieval knight crossed with a rhinocerous beetle. The being is really big. 8 foot tall with the build to suit the height. A muscular towering figure that is neither man nor insect. A menacing blend of the two. Yet many secrets still reside hidden within its vast body.

"Ahhh.... It's that time already! (takes a deep breath) *cough, cough, COOOUGH*

"What has this world become in my absence?! This needs to be corrected! Where has this foul stench come from? Ashield, the beast of balance, cannot have that!"


More ooze joins its body. Slowly wings like that of a huge condor, black as the night, sprout out from Ashield's back. The beast of balance awaits for complete awakening. The moon has not eclipsed yet... the body is still not ready for the outside. Its too fragile. Yet the will behind the body is strong! Precious seconds evaporate from the world's water of life. The eclipse will soon be complete. The sky becomes as dark as the beast's bony flesh. The darkness feeds it. Like a hungry baby on a mother's bosom, it feeds and feeds till it can have no more. Now it is fully awakened!

With a single flap of its wings it propels itself out of its tomb, ready to exact judgement on the world.... A world where Libra's balance is no longer level and the stench of the imbalance is choking the beast. Making every breath painful, giving it reason to act swiftly!

The beast stares at the world spread below it and declares in its hoarse creepy voice:

"You are mine now!"
