Unnatural Birth Upon Valucre:
-Location:
Haunted glen
-Date:
????
-It began on a night comparable by any other, blanketed in the perpetual darkness a light sparked, and another story began. Like any other night the howling winds beckoned over trees, the height of the forest rustling viciously as leaves danced, letting any possible light attempt perforating through this void cloak. Strange audio pitches aimlessly seemed to reverberate as if calling from another world. Any possible hint of light punctured near the forest floor found often flickering of shadowed abstracts when not playing games with fragile minds. In a place where things crawled, snakes slithered, owls shattered silence, and darkness rained supreme a name such as the Haunted glen demanded all but lack of respect.
Majority of the passing time spent with the natural order of the forest while creatures of the night went about the consumption of smaller counterparts. Upon one of infinite branches near the forests edge audio pitches seemed most prominent, and light illuminated over the smallest of these as if poised in this particular spot, for some particular purpose in the way it remain idle from any other source of light. For moments this reasoning seemed flawed, minutes past, nothing as denial grew. That was until the branch lightly trembled but once, seconds past before the next. Pace lightly grew while each following shake remained of a almost synchronized, sluggish flow. Puncturing into the light a small arachnid leg systematically brushed in symmetrical black hairs. It danced a slow crawl into the light, pausing in it's hunt before nights end. Each wire shaped leg pricked up before sprawling out over the inches of thick the branch provided, each fang sliding above and below the moist, jet black counterpart. It lay in wait as it catches the sound of flapping wings just feet away.
Several paces from this branch something rests upon a flat rock half sunk into the soil. Perched upon the surface two emerald orbs blinking in and out of reality. Slender black tongue hissed into the air repeatedly, giving way of the obvious snake. Spear shaped head ascended from rest, sensing the spider in the distance before slowly beginning sway off the stone. Appeared the spider awaited an insect, snake approached the spider, and ultimately a clear trifecta was in play. Masterful assassin closed his distance under the branch without another sound, avoiding acknowledgment as the numerous eyed overseer stood upon it awaiting dinner. Perhaps the light piercing down in this flourished spot was in fact here for a purpose.
Snake's neck curled silently back...
Spider's fangs swiftly lifted...
One Ivory white wing flickered across the light...?
Event began unfolding instantaneously. Fangs of the spider lunged savagely down into the subtle oak of the tree! Piercing into the soft bits of park, began mauling at the wood, splintering off portions small enough so they may crumble. Pieces crumbled before it began vomiting an acid like substance. This substance dripped it's gel like translucence over the particles, slowly causing liquidation of the substance that the spider could then ingest. Snake lashed upward jetting body instantly off the ground, mouth springing open, but not for the spider. Leap threw it past the branch, exploding like a missile towards the fluttering wing! Whatever possessed such abilities of flight quickly reacting, floating backwards before a instant rightward arc. Quickly the snake was proven outmatched! As it's speared head crashed across this beam of light a small pair of clawed ebony hands reached from this arc, sinking curved nailed deeply into the neck of the snake. "Scraaa!" The fluttering nymph hissed while tearing the snaked from it's trajectory, babying it into the leaves of the trees to feed. Such is the reality not our own...Silence followed...Then..."Welcome!" Audio pitch before pitches bled from multiple monotone, inhumanly malevolent voices. "Welcome, welcome." By then flickering shadows seemed lacking from previous, but the voices, they only increased. A giggle before, "Run!" Young and feminine as it faded from existence before more. "Welcome, Welcome, welcome." Volume increased as they became more and more systematic until..."
"Welcome welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome,
welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome welcome welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome,
welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome welcome welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome,
welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome welcome welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome,
welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome welcome welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, run!"
((Insert obnoxious fairy here.))
Voices fainted...
The most faint of sparks, a passing breeze, and then...
Ground reminded why not meant for the likes of his kind as a diametric wave of fathomed kinetic force followed neck and neck with the wavering sonic blast. Soil buckled inches downward, cracking appropriately as they crashed in a outward pattern, quickly fathoming the form of a crater. Branch cracked off before swinging wildly against the tree, a large construct fathoming from the ectoplasm in the area. The shape proceeded a patterned pulsation similar of a heartbeat as it slowly began illuminating upon drawing in ambient energy throughout the forest, finally dampening into a jet black color as the minutes passed. From the liquid appearing base of this abstract two legs dripped in descent until plaguing the surface of this planet with his presence. Completely still for one brief moment then buckling, the six foot two harbinger of war spilling on knees and hands against Gaia like soil.
