Unknown POV
Deep beneath the earth, something stirred.
Well, it wasn't quite fair to call it a something. Rather, it was many things, each in a form as complex and intricate as the next.
But still, it wasn't quite a something. It wasn't here, and yet…it was. It was not material. It was not alive.
It simply existed.
It had been sleeping for a very long time. A very, very long time. Ever since a time so far back, even its ancient memory could only evoke dim recollections.
It had slumbered under the ground for so long, it had almost forgotten what it was like to live—although live was perhaps not the right term for its existence. It had been asleep for so long, its conscious had almost forgotten how to climb back out of the dark nothingness of hibernation, back to being.
But now it was awake.
Awakened from a huge explosion that shook the ground, that disturbed its lair. Awakened to a young new world, so very different to the one it was accustomed to.
So very different, and yet so alike in many ways.
The thing was hungry, now, thinking of the world it had left behind all those centuries ago.
It was hungry for revenge.
It wanted back the world that had been taken away from it. Even more, it wanted back the body, the life, that been torn away from it.
The thing tried to get up, to lift itself from the heavy ground, but it was still too weak from its long sleep. It settled back into the place where it had dwelled for so long.
Patience. It had waited for thousands of years, it could wait for a little longer, or at least until it regained its strength.
Impatience had cost it its freedom, but no more. It was clever now. Clever enough to bide its time for the right moment to pounce on the yet ignorant and unsuspecting world.
It rested…and planned.
Its plan will work out, in time. The right moment will present itself, in time.
All in good time.
Yes, it's short and confusing...
