(A/N: The story was inspired by "Yellowness" on fanfiction.net by MidasMan. While the first 6 chapters are pretty much copy/paste and not something I'm not proud of, it does get better and the plot begins to change once you get past it. With that in...
(A/N: This is going to be quite the divergence from the original source material, huh? I'm quite excited to create future chapters as I've been building up to this for quite some time. However, as of writing this note, school is beginning and I'm entering grade 11. So, I might not be able to post weekly or keep this regular schedule due to schoolwork/life. I hope you understand!)
[Timeskip - 44 Days]
[Narrator's POV]
The plague doctor moved a potion in his hands in small, circular motions, watching its contents slosh around while sat down. 'To think the Massacre at Katze Plains only happened 23 days ago. That, and the establishment of the Sorcerer Kingdom only 9 days ago. How quickly time flies...' Citrinitas thought to himself, reminiscing about all that has happened since those significant events.
Even though Citrinitas wasn't there personally as he used a Mirror of Remote Viewing, the Massacre at Katze Plains, in other words, was pure nightmare fuel that nobody could forget. And no, not because of bad CGI monsters. The anime didn't do the event enough justice.
Simply put, the Massacre at Katze Plains could only be described as hell. Even before the battle, the clouds in the sky oozed an aura of gloom. The feeling of dread was only amplified once horrors from beyond reality were spawned on the battlefield.
The amount of fear and distress on everyone's faces was something that could never be replicated. At least for a long time. Soldiers ran in all directions, running over fellow comrades to save themselves from the Dark Young that chased after them.
Speaking of, they were entirely different from what the anime presented and more akin to so-bin's illustrations. Their tentacles reached for the sky as their sharp fangs opened and closed, begging to be fed the flesh of Re-Estize soldiers. Despite their enormous size, the Dark Young weren't sluggish. And their screams... their screams could make the most stone-cold person on the planet shiver in fear.

(A/N: Imagine that glorious battle without CGI. What I'd do to see that dream become true...)
Sadly, Citrinitas couldn't reminisce about the bloody battle all day. After all, he's quite the busy alchemist. 'Today is also the day when plans for the Dragon Kingdom should start. Though, there are still a few hours to spare. I guess I could spend some time with the twins or Esdeath and Shalltear?'
