2 Beginning Years - 2

One day I convinced my mother to let me go hunting, of course with her supervision. We talked as we always did about how the birds were pretty or how the deer I just caught had some of the most beautiful horns she'd ever seen. While we were minding our own business, those booming footsteps I would never forget began shaking the earth. My mother reacted much faster than me immediately hiding us in a tree nearby, however for some reason she pushed me down further in the tree closer to the roots. Before I could even process anything they were there towering above us as if they were meant to look down on others. Immediately the one that seemed to be in charge opened his third eye as if he knew that something wasn't right, as if his senses told him there was prey close by. My mother flinched, at first I didn't realize why but then he stared right at her, as if he could see through the tree. The disdain flowing through his words "Pretty lady, why don't you come out so we can have a little fun, eh?"

My mother bolted to the left, immediately running in the opposite direction of where I was and where the argents stood. "You can't run forever, but damn you're even more cute than I thought. Boys after her!" The chase didn't last long, when they grabbed hold of her, I saw the terror on her face from where I was. Frozen in place, unable to do anything but watch as the disgusting creatures started to undress my mother. As I couldn't look anymore I just curled in a ball, not even able to cry as I heard my mother, no Rosea got tortured and raped until she didn't even have the energy to sob or scream anymore. The fat lard then spat distastefully "Ahhh, no fun she cracked. What do you say, kill her now so we can get the life force before she cracks anymore? Or just take her home for a bit more fun?"

"Eh, she seems like she's already leaking her life force into the forest, let's just kill her now. Ooh but don't tell the others she's dead, hehe can't wait to see their faces when they fucked a dead chick!" an even more distasteful pale giant said. Then it all ended with the laughter of all 5 giants cracking my mothers neck, then twisting it back into place. They all left quite quickly after that, not even hunting for the prey they came for, their simple minds already switching gears.

Now here I am, stuck in this hell of a forest with no parents, or anyone to help me. Once I was sure they'd all left, I screamed with all my might, all the curses my young brain knew. Until finally it clicked, Rosea tried to get them away from me, she sacrificed herself for me. Feeling a little better I realized it was night already making the area far more dangerous as Nightmare Spiders, with their disgusting faces and large bodies, began making their daily howl. Then a thought struck me If I can't handle a simple Nightmare Spider, how am I supposed to get my revenge on those disgusting pieces of meat that have a sliver of intelligence? So I began my plan, first I found my dagger from my old tree. Then I created little craters in the ground just big enough for my small body to get in and out. As I waited patiently for a spider to come out from its den perched in a nearby tree. I began breaking down how I was going to live in this hellish landscape, sometimes crying when remembering her. Ah, if only my dad was here to save her, what if I could get his attention? Then I realized something, my dad was never planning on coming back here in the first place. Thinking about how to get his attention, my prey finally appeared. It was truly a gruesome sight, I've only seen one of these before and that was from hundreds of feet away. The large black arachnid had a scorpion-like tail that had hair all over it, including the face, which might I add looked like one of the Argents' assholes. However this time there was drool appearing on that rectum waiting for something to appear to eat. When it began climbing the tree next to mine I decided to make my move, jumping from inside the safety of my tree to the tree the spider was climbing up. My dagger was met with a pleasant crunch as it sank into the arachnids abdomen carving a slice as I fell. The spider immediately reacted going up the tree as fast it could as my dagger was pulled out and I fell in the air, I saw its 8 eyes staring straight at me. It seemed to smile as it realized I was a mere child, it made its move falling towards me as fast as its legs could run. I smiled then, seeing as it fell straight for my trap. I fell into the hole with grace as the spider tried to get inside the hole, head first. All I had to do was simply thrust the large dagger through the head of the filthy head. As I did the spider tried to back off, but then the branch that I cut on the way down finally fell, trapping the disgusting creature just feet away from me. I let out all my rage and sorrow from the day as I stabbed the spider repeatedly until it finally lay limp. Cheering and basking in my victory, I then realized I was basked in something other than victory, spider guts. "Ugh" I said out loud not to anyone in particular.

I proceeded to push the spider and branch up taking advantage of my divine blood as I did so, when the adrenaline finally wore off I began to vomit all over the disgusting sight. Realizing my dinner is disgusting and spoiled I went to the nearest pond. As I washed myself I heard the vibrations of footsteps, taking advantage of my dryad senses and focusing on it I realized it was just a simple Rainbow-Tailed Deer. Getting out of the pond still naked, I drew close to my prey. Moving as quietly as possible, I moved in for the kill, striding 20 feet in less than a second and slit the deer's throat. After, I decided to say a prayer "May your life force be returned to the world, thank you for you sacrifice"

She taught me that, saying that it leads the world toward a more pleasant path. I then cleared a smaller tree for a temporary home, singing as I skinned the deer "Just me, myself, and I, couldn't have a better time. Maybe you'll be my friend, oh wait you died. I guess it's just me, myself, and I." Thinking the depressing tune might get my mind off the tedious work and help me relax a bit more. Finally when I was done, the campfire I set up a while ago was put to good use as the deer was roasted almost perfectly. Splendid work if I do say so myself. Mmmmm, it's so good! I thought as I dug in. It really was one of the best meals I had in a while, she usually made me some crappy leaf salad, or maybe bark chips as a snack. Cringing as I thought back on it, Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought.

I lived my life like that for a while, pretending that everything was ok and that nothing terrible happened. About a year passed like that, until I began to feel more power surging through my veins, it felt as though I had the power to change the way the world worked with my own two hands. Wondering what was happening with my body, I decided to stay secluded in a tree for a few weeks to figure out what was going on. Thinking back on what this could be I heard her talking about how my dad had the power to be able to make fire with his hands or how he was able to float in mid air. So I decided to start with those abilities, I focused on lighting a spark above my palm but no matter how hard I focused I couldn't do it. It began raining outside, however as this happened quite a lot I didn't think anything of it, thinking about how she had more control of nature I thought of things that were everywhere outside. Such as water, the trees, or maybe even lightning, picturing myself as some badass up in sky saying stupid things like "Are you prepared to be smitten by the hand of god?" Even chuckling for the first time since that happened. As I was meditating picturing lightning up in the sky coming down to my call, the entire tree I was in was struck by lightning eventually encasing me in it as well. When I opened my eyes, I realized I was floating above the ground above a broken tree, and that the raindrops around me seemed to be falling quite slowly. I screamed in excitement, and decided to test out my new found abilities. Looking at my arm there was lightning coiled around it, so I did what any child would do, make a finger gun and sound out "Pew, pew pew, pew" Every time I said the word lightning would shoot out of my finger, decimating the area I was pointing at. Feeling extremely powerful, thinking that maybe I could even take on my own father. Then quickly dismissed the thought realizing how powerful he must be if this is only half of his power.

Taking a different approach I focused on the water droplets falling from the sky, imagining them forming a bubble around me. When I opened my eyes I was back on the floor and realized hours had passed by as the sun was coming up. However there was one difference, the storm was gone and I was in an electric bubble. Thinking how it was possible for me to breathe I realized that both my parents were partially celestial beings, meaning that I didn't have the same organs that most creatures relied on. However I began cursing at my foolishness for not thinking of this before, as I seriously could've drowned myself. Finally letting go of all the power boiling inside of me, I saw the world return back to normal speed, and I noticed my leaf covering was nowhere to be found. Shit, I don't know how to make one of those. She used to make those for me and now that I was on my own, how was I supposed to do that. Then a thought occurred to me: Why do I care, anybody that sees me like this is dead anyways. Thus began my life of being truly one with nature.
