Resting Place

This story details the ‘birth’ of MISERY during the death of her father(s)

Content warning for mildly vidid description of the decay process

Something terrible occurred. The ending of the situation resulted in the bodies of several princes to be dumped at Discaria della’Inviolata landfill.


piled atop each other,

the bodies were left to rot,

entering livor mortis,

their sacred blood spills onto the garbage where they had been dumped.

Ashuton’s body was face down, and from the open gash on his abdomen, a pink egg fell out.

Under them this pink egg rests,

soft-shelled,

absorbing all of the rot.



* * *



The bodies have strangely entered the decomposition common amongst all eukaryotic organisms, perhaps this is because they died in their human forms.



the bodies expand and bruise,

their bodies breaking down from within,

this doesn’t happen usually.



Usually.



their mouths, noses and eyes leak black liquid,

“purge fluid,” humans call it,

it is that but for a dragon it is something extra mixed in:

Substance--the goo they were born with, responsible for helping them shapeshift, the liquid humans kill for.





days, weeks, months, how long had it been?

portions of their bodies had liquified,

the egg was drenched in death,

their human forms were beyond self reconstruction at this point.



portions of their bodies had formed Adipocere,

the wax forms itself as bumpy scales along their exposed bones,

and their bodies, despite decaying, were slowly shifting into draconic states,



horns potrude from their heads,

tails form,

their skeletal hands regrow their flesh,

with pieces of scales jutting out



at this point, the egg was ready to hatch.



amongst all the blowflies,

cicada nymphs,

and surrounded by her fathers,

she takes her first peek of the outside world.



she slithers out the shell,

coiling around Ashuton,

she waits patiently until her arms and legs can work.



days later, she is still coiled around her father.

by now, his human body is gone, replaced with his biped draconic form.

her talons, black

her eyes, yellow

her soft scales, pink

but inside, a virus runs rampant.



she waits patiently for them to wake up and take her to their new home.

Cicadas do not form nor are attracted to dead bodies. They are, however, attracted to Karrucci dragons.

The princes who got killed in a battle were Ashuton, Carlotto (Charlie), Rico, Chamyou, Che, Zaccari (Zack), Tommaso, Armando, Mwanu, Meep, Siletero and Massimo. The person who killed them took pieces of their horns and dumped their bodies.

It should also be noted, a dragon can discard their human form at any time. They will just be locked into a dragon form while their body recreates the human form from within. 

this story is new, unlike the other stories surrounding Misery.

The landfill is this place
