Stories of the Stars - Mossy Peak II

The new born life form was led into the castle dungeon. The moans of pain of the starving creatures there meant nothing to it, for it never felt pain before. 

She was thrown in a cage and the door shut behind her. She stumbled across the floor. 

“Augh!” She cried. Why did she cry? What was that sensation that her body responded to? Was that the reason all the beings in those cages cried for?

She was hungry. All that she ate didn’t satisfy her, she wanted more. She ate all of the mirror clones that were formed just like her, but they left her empty. The only thing she felt was when she ate Her, the original, the one who called herself Mossy Peak. But it wasn’t enough. She was starving, starving to eat life, real life.

She heard footsteps outside the cage. Soon, a grifix with blue mane showed up in front of the door. She slowly pushed a bowl into her cage. 

“Here you go! I’m sorry I couldn’t bring something better, I wish He would treat you all better. I heard you’re a new one, they found you walking around in the forest, right? Who would’ve thought there were grifix outside the Village… this can’t mean anything good for them. He will want to find them, He will want to conquer them… whatever you do, don’t reveal where you came from, it is the only way to keep your home safe.”

What was she talking about? …talking? How could she understand those sounds so well?

A wave of memories stormed into its mind, then suddenly they were all gone. 

“The memories of the one I ate, those must be. If I can get a grip of them… maybe I can blend amongst them. Maybe I can act like one of them.” 

“Then, they’ll trust me.”
