Chapter 3 - The Beginning of Adventure

3rd Person POV

The all powerful entities slumber marked the beginning of it's journey through the nearby lands, sky and oceans. After waking up it carried on travelling through the forest that it was within, occasionlly coming across other creatures but paying them little attention finding them to be of little worth before it.

Once out of the forest the Green was met with an open plain that spanned the horizon with various trees and creatures dotted about it. The Green seeing this took it as an opportunity to test how fast it could run and quickly broke into an uninteruppted sprint. Initially tearing up the ground where it started its feet soon began to only glance off the ground make minimal contact with and leaving it near undisturbed.

For the sensitive creatures around the plains they could register that there was a powerful being crossing through, most made to move out its way and avoid any loss of life. But there were the few arrogant creatures that felt the eings presence upon their lands was an afront and made to intercept it.

These creatures were a group of seven Horankar's. They were about three metres tall, well built bipeds that had clawed hands and feet, a flat face with large nostrils small eyes and a tough leathery grey skin. When they are curled up they are, to the unobservant, similar to boulders. They traveled with the use of both hands and feet, for easier and faster manuevering.

The front four of the group were slighty larger and gave a more intimidating aura than the others,they also had a large number of scars reminiscent to bite marks around their shoulders and back, the lead being the one with the most. The group of seven eventually came to a stop, looked in the direction of the presence they felt, then began to position themselves close to one another and curl up in preparation of an ambush.

As the Green grew closer the arrangment of boulders it payed no attention to them and made no attempt to avoid them. As it reached the boulders it went to leap atop one and carry on, but as it left the boulder the others began to rise up and in a coordinated movement all moved to strike at the Green and knock it to the ground, where they pound on it till dead.

Despite this surprise the Green did not seem worried and instead held a look of excitment within its eyes. Although the Horankar's had enacted their ambush perfectly they had taken into acount how fast the Green was. It had shot off the first Horankar and soon after landed upon the centre Horankar and used it as a jump pad to get out of the encirclement.

Touching down without any troubles the Green swiftly turned to face the Horankar's, they too were quick on their feet and turned to charge at the Green, but the Green had the speed and quickly clawed and bit at their ankles. The Green though quickly found out that it couldn't do much in the way of fatal damage to them, due to their thick hide. This made it a battle of attrition. Would the Green be pummeled or would the Horankar's be bled dry.

The battle quickly became a game of cat and mouse with the cat chasing the mice and mice chasing the cat. Throughout it all the Green had taken a few hits but had managed to avoid being surrounded, it had also succeeded in slowing down the massive beasts, by cutting up their legs. The battleground had become stained red in their blood and the sun was in the process of setting.

As the sun hit the horizon all that was left standing was the Green and two Horankar's. The Green had a limp leg, one missing tail and a number of long cuts along its back that had stopped bleeding. The Horankar's were doing no better the first one was missing an arm and eye along with various cuts all across its body. The second still had all its limbs but had a large tear in its gut that was leaking a fair amount of blood and guts, needless to say it wouldn't survive.

Breathing had the Green went to charge the second one and fish out the rest of its innards, but the first got in the way. The Green then went between its legs and cut at the inner legs, knocking it down. Left without obstacles it once more charged for the second Horankar and doding its attempt to grab ahold of it, the Green managed to get a mouthful of intestines and made to run away and pull out the rest. The second Horankar quickly succumbed to its wounds and fell.

Now left staring one another down the Green and first Horankar just stood opposite one another growling at one another. The Horankar drummed it chest and went for a final charge and tried hammering the Green, but only hit the ground as the Green avoided its strikes. The Green eventually found a chance to strike and ran up the Horankars arm and bit down on its throat with all of its strength and then gave a swift twist of its head and tour out the Horankars throat.

In a shower of blood the Horankar finally fell with a loud thud, bringing a silence to the now red battleground. The Green was quick to follow the Horankar and collapsed itself, from exhaustion. It then slowly dragged its body over to a corpse and began digging in eating and drinking the blood, savouring its hard fought prize. After saiting its hunger the Green went to sleep among the corpses and began to heal itself, but leave the scars of its battle visible as a mark of respect for its opponents.

*****

The Green carried on its journeys across the lands in a similar manner, coming across numerous creatures some that put a good fight others that would turn tail and run. The Green would leave the scars of its worthy opponents and erase the ones it deemed unworthy. Despite how far the Green travelled it didn't come across any truly powerful beings, nor did it take any interest in the local fawner and flauer and as such hadn't suffered any losses, so it had gotten a little bored with all the fighting and wandering, becoming more careless in nature.

Due to this carelessness the Green had inadvertantly walk into the territory of King Ants. Vicous cat sized ants that tore apart anything in their path, with mandibles actually strong enough to break rock and even a sonic attack that they used to stun their prey.

As such when walking through a jungle it didn't notice the tell tale signs of their territory markings, which were collapsed trees with chunks taken out and a scent sprayed over it. That is why when it was first struck the Green didn't know what was happening and stumbled around dazed until a sharp pain shot through one of its legs. Noticing to late the swarm of Kings Ants coming out of the surrounding trees. The Green was quickly swarmed and torn apart.

The Green's POV

'Oh goddamn it that hurt like a mother fucker! The nerve of those fucking ants swarming on me like that. I could wipe out their puny arses without even using a pittance of my power.'

The Green the sighed which sounded more like a humming sound.

'I suppose it's my own fault though. I was quite bored with all of this wandering, maybe it was the lonliness of it all. I had no one to talk to or brag about how cool I was.'

'Hm maybe I should find a friend, see how that goes? Nah that won't do they probably weak or boring. Ha! I know I'll raise a companion, yeah I'll baby of some sort and then raise it. Huhuhu I'm so smart. Wait for me companion I'm coming for you. Hahaha!'
