Chapter 8: A Grimm Day
"Alex, are you really this stupid? I've expected more from you."
"Well, I did too, until my partner stabbed me in the back and walked away."
The voice rang with another wave of laughter.
"It seems like humanity has evolved, they no longer fall for my carrier trick."
"You mean when you die I just become a slave."
"Yes child. But that has no matter here, for now my toy has become useless and broken so I shall dispose of it!"
The ground rumbled aggressively as large pitch black tentacles ripped through the soil of the earth. Trees flew around the sky as birds and animals fled from the area of the monster. Each tentacle a tower itself in height as it unburied something in the ground that couldn't get out by itself.
I tried to move once again, but to no avail. I could hear the sounds of breaking stones and feel the vibration underneath me. I kept on trying and trying to unparalyzed myself but every time my body would move a inch and then stop.
My time was running out, a large dark skinned hand ripped from the mud and grime of the forest. Gripping itself, the hand threw down its palm onto the ground and gripped tightly on it. Trying to wiggle my way out, I began shifting my body to meet a similar fate.
Another hand ripped through the the earth and followed the other's movement pattern. soon after the tentacles stopped digging into the ground. A large melted like skull soon rose from the digging site, attached to a long winding neck.
With another barrage of laughter, the creature's long slender body came out from the earth's surface, then its bird like legs before the right talon kicked stone from the ground and landing back down on the ground.
With slight difficulty, the left foot wasn't a foot but a talon that pierced into the mud. The creature now standing above me looked as if it was bigger than mountains.
"Come child 'kill' me like you intended to." It responded cocky and sarcastically.
I tried to move my legs, but they refused to work, my arms gave the same response as my back burned with pain.
"I'm going to enjoy consuming you."
With that it's right hand rose to the sky. When the hand blocked my view of the sun, only then did it strike, throwing its hand straight to the ground. Trying to avoid the attack, I made one more attempt in throwing myself out of the way, only to met the same fate.
Closing my eyes, I awaited the incoming pain that would come. Being squished, is more painful than you think. The hand crushed me; I felt bones snap, ripped, mind fading. The only reason why I wasn't shouting in pain or tearing up was due to the me being face planted in the ground to the point tears couldn't be formed and my jaw was either broken or just perfectly placed in the dirt so I couldn't move it.
The consuming pain ate away at my sanity. The very thought of death and the odds of a immobile jaw prevented any screams from originating.
"Still refuse to move? Or are you just more broken than I thought."
The voice shifted to silence as the brown soil of the earth quickly turned to darkness, and through that darkness, energy.
The pain eased at a stop as a surge of anger and revenge filled my body, but the darkness forming my eyes drifted me to a sleep more overpowering than any before.
I opened my eyes to greet a. A very similar black room from when I arrived here.
"Hello my child."
A voice rang out from the shadows. I tried to move, to only be greeted by a barely working right hand. My legs were refused to move as well as my left hand.
"You have been injured destroyer, but my gifts shall heal you, better you, evolve you."
"Who, are you? Better yet why can't I feel anything!" I barely cried out to remain under the voice's calmness.
"That requires you to have something child of the end times."
"What the hell is that appose to mean?"
"I guess awaking in this state would make some confusion."
"What do you mean? The pitch black I can't even see my own body from here."
"You still don't understand do you?"
"Tell me then!"
A collection of squishy sounds as well as the smell of rot filled the air. The smell gave a gagging effect as I felt something slimy consume over my body.
"You can't see because you do not have eyes."
"What! The last thing I saw was-"
"The decaying dirt of the world as death and darkness consumed you! Your body was frail, slithered and broken and even now is, you shall wait until I'm finish then you shall continue the destruction of your people!"
"What destruction! I can't even fight Grimm without them looking away from me!"
"I know that child, Edo is a rodent that devils my masterpiece. I shall give you my eyes, my old vessel, but...you shall kill Edo for me in return."
The slow oozing feeling began to engulf parts of my body by that point. The warm feeling but a cold touch sent shivers down my neck as the feeling of mobility and functionality returned. Although easier to move my bones and newly reformed tissue, the darkness still loomed.
I struggled and strained parts of my neck by the time the slime met my lower jaw. The feeling of being re-created was slow and numbing as more and more parts began to move on their own.
The slime moved around my mouth but didn't ignore my nose as it seeped inside. The liquid cooled down my body as well as burn the tender hairs of my skin.
"Old vessel?" I gasped out from the liquid that clawed onto my skin.
The sudden feeling of pain jabbed into me, as if molten beams being stuck into me. Mute again my only defense was to take the damage.
"It has been forty years since I used this suit. I've been keeping it for the memories if I ever require younglings to steal from Vale."
I could only give a muffled scream and gargle the venom tasting ooze.
"Silence child, your pain shall be your new voice, your hatred shall become your actions, and your regret, their destruction, much like I promised."
Before anything any more protests, the dreams consumed time and space, awaiting my next awaking.
