Smaw

How Smaw came to be
1 of 4. Suffering:

The being languidly opened it's eyes to the harsh terrain infront of it.. "How am I still breathing? Why am I still here!?" It was furious, an emotion it had never experienced before. Suffering was all it knew.

After roaming the land for what seemed like an eternity, the entity had given up on "life"... if you could call it such a thing. It bellowed: something never done before, "...not even a SCRATCH!?" Immediately after, a reply filled the expanse of lava, an ear shattering scream could be heard behind a nearby mountain.

The creature shot up, never had it before heard or seen another living thing. Eager for more, it darted up towards the mountain, screaming in desperation, "Who's there!? What are you!? Where are we!?" the beings words brittle and ardent. Another howl departed from the creatures mouth, and with it a bolt of fire. It flew over the lost soul and collided into the mountain behind, creating a deadly explosion of fire.

The being turned it's attention back to the floating menace, confused. "What are you doing!?" Sudden realisation swept through its mind, the screaming creature was trying to kill it. The bellowing creatures face was plagued with desperation and dysphoria, the lost soul could relate. "Is it trying to relieve me of this hell?" "...no... if this exists then others must. I have been given a second chance..." the beings heart stopped...cold, it's eyes narrowed.. "I will no-" Another scream left the creature and with it, a second ball of fire.

As the flame approached, the being noticed the fire was attached to something, and with a swift punch, knocked it, hurtling the object back towards the creature...pounding into it's pale physique.

Screams of anguish left the monster as it fell, but with it, a sense of relief...

Malice:

The being made a vow after what remained of the creature had been burnt up in the lava... "I will kill anything that attempts to ruin life for me.. something gave me a second chance, I will use it."

The being had to find out why it was given a second chance, and so continued moving in the general direction the creature had came from, exploring once again the barren wasteland before it. Time had past and the being grew tired once more, so acknowledging the fact other creatures existed, decided to dig a hole to rest in, away from prying eyes..

The entity was suddenly awoken to a familiar scream. "Perhaps this one won't be so destructive..." The being was apprehensive, and so crawled out of the hole cautiously, making sure the creature wouldn't spot it.

A faint grunt was heard. The being eye's locked onto the source of such a grotesque noise. There it stood! A creature, bipedal much like the being. It had mixed flesh, and a shining object, much like the strange glowing rock of the area. "Another living thing!? I must get to it!" The flying creature bellowed again, shooting a fire ball straight towards the other creature, whom took direct impact and exploded, leaving nothing but a lump of it's flesh. "Merciless creatures! Are they all this way!?" The being went back into the cave to rest, the screams blanketing it's ears.

... A new noise awoke the being this time, clopping of strange feet. Shimmers of light directed at it's eyes, the being opened them, clueless as to what was going on. "You!", "Him!", "Oiink!" The being was surrounded by the same mixed flesh creatures he saw earlier, weildeing more of those strange objects. A sudden thought crossed the beings mind, "More of them? Finally, a chance to converse with new life.." The group yelled. "You let him die!", "He let Asol die!", "Return the favour!" The being questioned what they meant. "You let Ghast kill Asol!" The being questioned them, once again. "Ghast?" "Screamer", "Fire", a few others let out grotesque grunts.

"Kill him!" Another horrible grunt left one of the creatures, who lunged towards the being" The being grasped the arms of the creature, "What are you!?, What are you doing!?" "Pigmen!", "Revenge!", More hideous grunts escaped the foul mouths of the others present, and with those grunts, the other Pigmen lept towards the being, whom hurriedly jumped out of the way and escaped the cave.

Amid the foul grunts, an even worse noise approached. The screams of a Ghast heading their way.

Narrowly missing the being, the fire bolt flew towards the Pigmen, killing all but one, who continued the chase. The Pigman had caught up to the being, and it was forced with no other choice but to pummel the creature to death. As the blood flew into the hands and face of the being, a strange feeling came across it. Bloodlust. This sparked the being to deal a final blow, killing the Pigman.

The being rose again, shuddering with excitement and throwing up it's arms let out a hideously precarious laugh for the first time. "This feeling... I can get used to." "Creatures such as those, hideous and cruel. The only way to survive is to deal more anguish than you are given!" This was the beings resolve, and with it, the being decided to rid itself of any emotions that would make it weak.

"It seems those two creatures are relentless and will stop at nothing to end my life... I refuse to let them stop me in my quest to find life that could, perhaps be different. They are jealous of my second chance!"

{ In this land, there is no day or night, and so, it is hard to say how long the being traveled for after the fiasco, however, approximately 5 days and nights had passed. }

After roaming for days, the being had given up hope. As it prepared to lie down, a sudden but faint roar could be heard in the distance, and with it came loud clanging noises...
