They are here too!!!

[Hatsuo1980]

A little coastal town on the east hand side of Serke Kemi went about its day to day business. It was a pleasant, if somewhat chilly, day and the farmers went about their daily activities as usual, tending to the fields.

Ho Flundun, one of the farmers, was tending to one of the orchids, a past time he enjoyed even though usually reserved for the females. With care and attention, he pruned and watered as required. Taking a break, he sat against the large tree that centered the Orchid, closed his eyes and relaxed, dreaming peacefully...

...an hour passed before Ho stirred, feeling a heavy breathing on his face. He opened his eyes, the readjusting to the light. A small, shadowy demon stood in front of him. In a panic, Ho tried to crawl away but was easily caught and lifted by the throat by the demon. With vile intent, the demon began punishing the peasant with powerful blows to the chest and face. With seconds, his face was cut, bruised and swollen, his ribs cracked or broken.

Ho vainly begged for mercy but, deep down, he knew the demon knew not of pity. The demon continued it's assault long after the farmers body went limp.

Dropping the farmer into a heap on the floor, the demon turned and moved toward the village......

*going about his normal daily retinue, Cub was perched neatly on a large tree branch in his mind, though to on lookers it may seem that a large panda had fallen from the sky and awkwardly landed on a poor tree’s limb that was far too small to hold his weight. Laying there enjoying the quiet time of his second nap of the day, sleeping off half of the tree’s fruits he was now residing in.

His dream getting slightly disturbed, making the large black and white bear shuffle and wiggle on his precarious perch as the poor branch swayed there, not seemingly able to work out why the tree was talking to him and begging for mercy, though quiet he still had never dreamt of talking trees before, though after a small debate in his mind the tree was defeated with a large kick and gave up its most juicy fruit, as cub lay there in the world of the living half asleep chewing on the trees bounty.

As the vile little demon started to make his way to the totally unaware village it passed below what looked like a rather miserable tree, which had been attached by a swarm of hungry fruit monkeys. Stretching out in his dream, Cub reached for the large glowing fruit that would grant him amazing strength, he overbalanced, starting to slowly rotate from laying on the branch, ending up hanging by an arm and a leg off it, dangling only for a second before his weight got the better of branch and snapped clean in half.

Plummeting to the ground the panda and half of the tree branch landed on the grass below, groaning to himself slightly, cub rolled around on his back in discomfort, unaware there was a small demonic claw sticking out from under his all mighty bulk.*

“oooooowie”

"eurghhhhh" groaned the demon with it's dying breath. Score one foe the panda

*hearing this dying groan Cub's ears twitched, rolling slightly as he looked from side to side for the source of the noise. Only when he rolled back and heard a slight crunch under him he twigged slightly, remembering from the 4 times he fell trying to get up the tree that the grass wasn't this soft before. Winching he slowly and ungraciously rolled up and clambered to knees to see the now rather flatter remains of the demon indented in the ground. Cub looked over the creature to ensure it was dead before gently closing it's eyes and putting it into a slightly more dignified pose.

"o creature of darkness I hope you find peace in the here-after, I did not mean to snuff out your life, but fate has deem your time in this world was spent and you were to depart, rest now."

*having made his peace for taking a life, accidental as it was Cub still never liked the idea of taking life, demon or not it wasn't his choice to kill this creature so it was the least he could do. 

His personal penance complete, Cub got up and started to walk on, his pilgrimage having no destination, as he wondered on.*
