To Just Exist

Marred of mistakes

In a dark, decrepit place, forsaken and desolate, a pervasive corruption tainted the surroundings. The air hung heavy with a putrid stench, and a murky green organism resembling algae thrived in the grim atmosphere. Bulging green spores, each about four feet in size, clung to surfaces, their texture akin to skin. These spores emitted a deadly toxin capable of neutralizing magic and swiftly ending the life of any ordinary person in a matter of seconds.

Amidst this desolation, a figure stood, his laughter echoing through the dismal space. "Today is the day I finally reunite with my brother," He muttered to himself, his voice carrying a twisted blend of anticipation and madness that echoed through the desolate realm. His deranged laughter pierced the air, drawing the attention of a creature of scorn, an abomination with four twisted limbs. With each step, its razor-sharp claws gouged deep furrows in the decaying earth, its dark and murky green scales melding seamlessly with the rotting environment.

The creature's face was a grotesque void, devoid of any recognizable features, amplifying its sinister nature. Its body moved with an eerie grace, as if it were one with the grim surroundings, its senses attuned to the corrupted realm. With careful precision, it relied on its heightened hearing to trace the sound of the man's maniacal cackling. But suddenly, to its surprise, the creature could no longer hear him. A sinister aura pervaded the air, intensifying The creature halted, its senses attuned to the deafening silence that surrounded it. Before its gaze stood the cackling entity, mere inches away, its wicked smile mocking the creature's blindness. In response, a feral snarl erupted from the creature, its scales unfurling to reveal a grotesque sight. From its torso to its head, a gaping slit tore open, lined with jagged, broken teeth that exuded a repugnant aura. The creature's putrid breath carried the foul effects of its corrupted environment The cackling entity's smile widened as it vanished in an instant, leaving the creature alone in the desolate expanse. A sudden movement in the air caught the creature's attention, causing its head to twitch. A surge of fury coursed through its monstrous form, and with each swipe of its razor-sharp claws, rotten trees were torn asunder, their decaying trunks snapping and splintering,  shattering the eerie silence that engulfed the dead forest. The ground shook under the creature's onslaught, the echoes of destruction amplifying Perched atop a colossal, rotting tree, the cackling entity surveyed the scene with sadistic delight. "How interesting," he sneered, his voice dripping with taunting malice. A sinister grin stretched across his face, exposing rows of sharp, glistening teeth. With a deliberate motion, he raised his palm high above his head, veins pulsating and bulging with unholy power.

In a split second, he brought his hand down with astonishing force, unleashing a thunderous crack that shattered the very fabric of the sky. A sonic boom reverberated through the air, ripping it apart with explosive energy. The impact of his strike brutally ravaged the creature's skull, inflicting agonizing pain upon it. Though not enough to snuff out its life, the creature let out anguished cries, its movements reduced to a painful, limping stagger.

Summoning a last surge of primal strength, the creature summoned the will to stand on unsteady legs. With a desperate leap into the air, it thrashed and flailed its arms wildly, tearing through the decaying branches and shredding the massive, rotten tree in its path. The entity watched with detached amusement, his eyes fixated on the spectacle of the wounded creature drawing closer and closer, its tormented movements a testament to the unforgiving The entity's smile widened, a grotesque expression of sadistic pleasure etched 

upon his face. His yellow eyes gleamed with perverse delight as he observed the suffering of the creature. With a chilling precision, he replicated the motion of his arm once again, bringing it down with cruel force upon the creature's outstretched arms. The impact echoed through the air, accompanied by a sickening sound of breaking bones and tearing flesh. Agonizing pain seared through the creature's body as its bones snapped and its muscles and skin were rent asunder.
