A low rumble, similar to a giggle, echoed eerily through a strangely desolate town. Rodents scurried about the streets, desperate to find cover from the threat that was treading its way ever so closer. The aged cobblestone roads were barren other than the multitudes of debris and dismembered, bloody appendages that scattered them.
Crows swarmed the area, many of them landing to feast on the flesh of any uncovered body parts- whether they be human or animal- their delighted caws echoing from the destroyed buildings' structures.
Even with the horrid scene covering the town, the moon still showed its face, the clouds refusing to cover the ivory sphere from shedding its once soothing light upon the town.
In the distance, a long shadow began to emerge from one of the buildings, its shape at first undistinguished. The head of the shadow donned hair that was unkempt and thrown every which way, as if in a struggle. Its arms were long and spindly and proportioned in a way that wasn't human; the arms seemed to drag along the ground. The legs were slightly shorter, and its back hunched, the sight similar to an ape.
The giggling sounds became louder as the shadow grew larger. The creature who was creating said shadow trudged along the cold cobblestone road as if it had all the time in the world. It was as if the countless corpses surrounding it were of no meaning; as if the nightmare around it were an everyday occurrence.
"...warned them, I did," the voice cut itself off with another ominous laugh. "I warned them~"
The voice sounded like a broken record of a song, scratchy and at mixed volumes. It was as if multiple people were speaking at once.
"I warned them not push me too far~"
A low, empty cackle sounded through the air, increasing the fear of all the insignificant life forms around the creature. The crows, however, seemed to duck their heads in respect when the creature got close to them.
"The smell of the decaying flesh of my abusers... hehehe... brings me a deranged sense of joy~"
The chuckle sounded again, louder and more menacing this time. It continued to rise in volume until it was a maniacal guffaw.
"My friends pick at your flesh with such vigor; you are now their prey. Don't you feel honored?"
Another crazed laugh sounded.
"If it were my choice, I'd have given you a fate worse than my friends' bellies~ Your pitiful "Lord" knows how you filthy swine would have deserved it..."
The creature continued to walk, a wide shark-toothed grin spreading across its face, the moon's light reflecting upon its wicked grin to give it an even more horrendous aura. Its wide ovals for eyes were crinkled with amusement; the whites of the creature's orbs a bright blood red, and its irises glowing an eerie silver shade. They glistened with crazed glee, showing no remorse whatsoever for the creature's actions.
"The lot of you screamed for your "God", as I ended your miserable lives..."
The grin, if it were possible, got even wider, as the creature turned around and surveyed the damage it's done with its glowing silver eyes.
"There is no "God" here," the creature rumbled, its smile widening to even more disturbing extremes.
"There is only... me."
The crows cawed loudly, before flying off in a frenzy. Thousands covered the town and sky as they soared.
Once the crows finally cleared, the creature had disappeared with them.
