Deception

She had been betrayed by her people time and time again. The people that she worked tirelessly to create. The people she loved, despite their unconventionality. The people she cared for despite their constant stupidity. They were her children, and she was their mother. 

A mother works tirelessly for her children, giving them everything they need: food, happiness, a hug, anything at all. A child will smile and thank their mother as they feel her warmth protecting them. They'd love each other so much that not even the gods could tear them apart.But as the child ages they become rebellious. They stop listening for a while, but they still appreciate the constant love.

But her children were nothing like that. They did not go through a rebellious stage, they did not love her, they only used her. They waited...then they revolted. It was like a damn bursting after years of build up. One moment there is peace and then suddenly the world was engulfed in flames and chaos. Villages burn, cities fell into the ocean, rocks rose so high above the clouds that you couldn't see the top,  crops began to fail, people began to hate. 

They viciously attacked her, as if she was the cause of this madness. The bit, scratched, stabbed, anything that could cause her harm. She fought back with the help of her friends, but not even together could they come out victorious. 

This chaos continued for decades until she was dead. 

The children stared at the lifeless body. They milky white eyes that used to hold so much warmth were now a murky gray. They looked into those dead eyes and saw nothing.

It was silent for a moment.

She eventually returned, but had no memories of that calamity. Born anew, she lived her life in peace. But once again he children found her. Once again... they killed her.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Until one day.

She absolutely refused to be taken once more. These people had killed her dear brother, the only person she became close to. It seemed that her children could not fathom the thought that a being was stronger than them. They could not and would not allow it. But this time, neither would she.

She looked at the group of pale people surrounding her. There were only four, she could feel the presence of three more hidden amongst the trees. Despite her temporarily impaired vision she could feel their smug faces. She almost laughed, they actually thought they'd win this time. 

She saw mouths moving but no words registered in her mind. The only thing she could feel was a feeling growing inside her. She had never met these people but the need to exact revenge was pooling inside of her.

She would win this time, no questions about it. She trained her whole life for this, she wouldn't waste it. In her haze she grabbed  a pointed stick lying on the ground and swung it at them. She moved toward them, and with avery step she took, the more powerful her swings were. They tried to run, but she would not let them out of her sight. In their desperation they hissed at her revealing pointy fangs. This only angered her even more, she swung harder.

All seven creatures were corner. She gave seven hard jabs. There were seven corpse.

Lights out.
