Synopsis: Modren's Folly
A huge Beast is running around causing Death adn Destruction. Too bad it seems unstoppable.
Excerpt: Modren's Folly
The beast walked back to the mainland across the ocean floor, pausing occasionally to drink from some small Wells of Power it passsed. It could feel another Well calling, one that had the feeling of being surrounded my much Lesser Food. As it got closer the Beast began to get a taste of the energy, this would indeed be a glorious feast! The energy was one of the stronger ones, it would aid in recovering from the poison in the last well.
Eventually the water grew shallow and the Beast's head rose above the waves, Something hit the Beast in the side of the head, it stung a bit so the Beast swiped at the source, a boat which now went sailing through the air. The Beast didn't bother to pay attention to where it landed. All that mattered was sustenance, anything that got in the way would be destroyed!
Several more attacks were launched at the Beast, most nothing more than mere annoyances. There were also those who were kind enough to offer the Beast food, but the Beast didn't consider them imprtant. All that mattered was getting to the Well, getting to the food and drawing in as much energy as possible. Then it would move on. The hunger was insatiable, but the Beast would keep trying to sate it. That was the purpose of its existence: To feed.
The attacks came faster as the Beast approached land, There were many of the creatures that tended to surround the Wells here. Each one the Beast killed let out a small burst of energy, it was food but not enough to even classify as an appetiser. The Beast wanted more, needed more, and continued forwards. Anything in it's way was smashed aside. Had the last Food not somehow been poisoned the Beast would have flown to the food instead of wasting time and energy like this.
It did not matter, the food was ahead, the large green tower pulsated with the energy. It began to grow brighter for a moment, and a bolt of energy was sent out from it and hit the beast square in the chest. The Beast was knocked back by the force of the hit, destroying several houses in the process. But it was good, the energy strengthened the beast who surged forward with renewed strength.
It unfurled its wings and leaped into the air towards the tower. Another bolt hit the Beast, this time the Beast was prepared and managed to absorb it without losing much of its forward momentum.
Crashing into the Tower the Beast let out a roar of triumph! This tower, this beautiful green tower was chanelling the energy, meaking it stronger and more tasty. The Beast began to drain it, occasionally swiping at things trying to stop the feeding.
Once the tower was fully drained the beast threw it aside and began to dig towards the source of the energy. As soon as it reached the Heart of the Well the Beast began to drain it. Once it was drained the beast took to the air, flying off towards where it sensed another meal.
