The forest's old god
Second post of the day! this is another prompt from the writhers group. Its... not a good work, its like an idea poorly developed and filled with redundant words, sorry for that.
Edited cause i paste the wrong story x.x
The little pond in the grove was silent, not even the insects were around there, because the propriety of a god is a natural barrier for everything and everyone. Soft hoof steps sounded in the forest, announcing the presence of the enormous creature. A ten foot of height, covered with roots, tree bark and moss, crowned by a big elk skull with two huge horns embraced by a rain of dry leaves. The naked body of the god did not show any genitals, being more like a prototype of man, surely the memory of another life that sometimes crossed his mind in dreams, maybe mocking of his tortuous existence.
The beast lowered his body slowly in the water, feeling the wetness filling his cavities, greening the moss and leaves, flexing more his legs, downing in the pond till only the horns were at sight. Bubbles left the bone as the frustrations of the entity blackened the water, filling his awareness with fast imagens of the past.
Two hunters running in the forest, his life were at stake, being followed by four monstrous canines, spectral howls reverberated between the trees, icing the blood of the men. The god got close to the prey of his dogs. His loyal animals had suppressed the men in the dirt, both of them criminals, oh terrible humans who hunt for sport and waste the meat, dropping it like a bad reminder of his fun. He hated those people, want to hurt them with all his wrath. Another flash crossed his mind and remembered a dishonorable act. While the men were begging for mercy, the god dropped his body over one of the hunters and thrust his flat hips against him... something was missing... where was the pleasure, the feel of the flesh, the warm of the body? only cries of suffering and despair, yes... the cries.
The cries and the smoke filled that night, the town was under attack. A slaughter was taking place between two kingdoms and the blood of the innocents happily paint the ground. Inside one of the houses three soldiers forced a family, the father with all his teeth tear down by the metal gauntlets, dropped in four and being penetrated in the ass like a dog, the mother fucked in the bed while the man bit her breast viciously. Distanced where another two souls, a soldier drinking wine from a bottle and a little child crying. The adult grinned, a bit unstable, there was no more wine but he still knows the destiny of the little creature... he could just took him, spoils of war, his right, but not with this one, no... the child was so similar to his son... no, not this one. The man took his sword and with a quick slash cut the throat of the boy.
A pestilent breath hit the face of the man while that enormous horror was still thrusting against his rear, the hunter felt nothing, just an angry but harmless flat tree bark. A single nervous laugh from the hunter made the beast drop a shout of fury that even scared his hounds. The god got up, took one leg of the man and smashed his body against a close tree, crushing all his bones and finishing his life in a single move, quick as a sword cutting a throat. The other wretch stifled a scream and moved back slowly, trying to not call the attention of the creature... till his hand fell over a stick and cracked it, instantly the elk skull turned over him, shouting another booming cry. Two steps was enough for catch the hunter by his hair, the man wetted his pants seconds before the huge beast destroyed his head against another tree.
Wrath, hate, despair, the old god was breathing quick, there was no tranquility in that soul, a broken machine around the years that don't understand his existence and just had a primal proppose of punish the men, no pleasure, no joy, just a deep and far warm every time he killed an enemy of the nature.
The old one got up, dropping all the water from his body, emptying the carcass and showing a strong and green bloom around all his body. The wooden creak as the entity moved out of the pond and walked to the forest. Little animals ran to him, making of his body a home to rest and keep safe. Now a dim yellow light was growing inside the elk skull... quiet, without hate, letting the soft wind cross between his roots and moss. This place of the forest was so lonely and quiet, like if a silent plage inhabit the ground. Ruins of an ancient town surrounded by the trees, rotten bones, rusty swords, it was a place covered by the time, not even the pain of his previous owners can be felt... only the leaves crushed by the feet of the giant creature can be heard.
After a little walk around the ruins, the old god stopped in front of a big tree, embraced by old walls. In the tree was a hole, two skeletons were resting inside. The creature crouched and crawled inside the hole, he crossed his legs and the light in his eyes banished, in that moment many branches ran inside his body, piercing the moss, moving away the roots by the force and even penetrating the skull. Instantly after, a deep conscience state owned him, every step, every sound, every event in the forest can be felt. All was fine and in balance, the whole forest under the vigilance of those empty eyes of the elk skull, a single pure soul turned into a god, a lonely immortal creature for the rest of the eternity.
