Sneaking into an abandoned hotel seems fun at first glance. Just explore, take a few pictures, and get out... But when you accidentally discover a cult that worships an ancient pred god, it kind of makes you regret your choices.
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Watching helplessly from where you were tied, you could only stare in horror as your companion was devoured alive by the massive beast.
Its throat bulges as you saw the form of your friend slide down past the collarbone...
Until the beast closes its dark maw with one last horrible loud gulp, sealing your friend's fate. The creature's belly swelled with the poor morsel's clearly outlined face, hands pushing wildly in a desperate but otherwise futile attempt at escape.
A look that can only be described as pure ecstasy and satisfaction came across the veiled creature's face as its tongue lolled out, licking what remained of its prey on its lips.
a hot and disgusting BELCH left its mouth.
You cringe, not being able to process everything that was happening, nearly fainting where you were kneeling. Then the creature seems to focus its attention on you...
Panic set in as you tried to stand, but the restraints prevented any movement.
Just when you thought the creature was about to grab you, the clank of chains was heard, yanking it back to the wall. It thrashed and pulled, roaring at the masked men that were now surrounding it.
The men wore dark cloaks and red masks, except for one, who wore a red cloak and a dark mask, the High Priest? He came closer to the massive creature's gut, petting it almost affectionately.
He started to chant, in some old language, some sort of old prayer, then the others joined.
But you could only make out the end when he spoke normally.
"Oh, great glutton, now that we have fed you, grant us your blessings."
Enthralled by the payer, the creature began to purr, and mystical symbols glowed on its still lively stomach. The room trembled as flowers sprouted from the ground, and where the masked men had placed three boxes, gold began to overflow.
When the chant finally stopped, the god resumed its thrashing and growling, as if restless. Meanwhile, the man seemed completely absorbed, feeling through endless bags of glistening gold.
Your heart sank as your eyes once again fell to the god's stomach, only to see it softer and no longer struggling to be seen. your friend is dead.
Brain went into overdrive, thinking of an escape plan. The two who were watching you were called by the high priest and left your side. remembering that you carried a pocket knife, you cut the ropes around your hand and legs slowly and carefully...
finally, you're free, yet you kept still
You looked at the struggling creature
'Oh dear,' you thought. A horrible plan came to mind one that may get you killed or eaten...
But with no real option, you made up your mind
you waited till they were far enough
waited for the ones closest to the levers that secure the creature to the wall, to be for enough..
Dodging the men and jumping onto the levers, turning them, now it was the old god that was free. You curled yourself into a ball once you fell to the ground.
Screams fill the room as the ancient being feasts on the cult.
Opening your eyes, hands still covering your face, you caught the scene of the god cramming three men into its maw, long tongue out to savor them. You then uncurl yourself and get up as quickly as you can, taking advantage of the god's distraction, making a run for the exit. but just before your hands reach the door, something trips you, looking at your legs, the Hight priest, mask long gone, his old face filled with fury.
"What have you done!" his old voice cracked as he yelled
Kicking him in the face, finally reaching the doors, you look back once to see the old god pulling him from his long cloak, the legs of another cult member sticking out from its mouth, they kicked and flailed helplessly.
Slamming the doors shut, you ran through the endless corridor.
up some poorly lit stars and climbing out of a cellar in the hotel, running until you were almost at the gates in front of the cursed place.
but just before you reach it you hear a voice resonating in your mind.
stopped dead in your tracks as you held your head, shock washed over you as you looked around frantically searching for the source of the voice.
The voice was a soothing, almost hypnotic, echoing in your mind, gentle yet impossible to ignore, pulling you back.
Looking back at the hotel...then at the gate to your freedom.
You shook your head about to ignore whatever trick IT was trying to pull, but this time, instead of a voice, you heard a soft, almost childlike whimper, as if someone was crying in loneliness...
You didn't know how or when it happened, but suddenly you're back, standing in front of thought dark doors again. 'What am I doing?' You can't even answer yourself, but just before you walked in a loud BELCH echoed from inside the room.. shuddering, you step through the doors.
The first thing that caught your eye was the flowers and plants that had bloomed in the room; their color adorned the room in a beautiful light and butterfly's flying freely, was this really the same room he saw his friend be eaten?
Freezing on the spot as your eyes landend on HIM
You could see him clearly..
He lay kneeling on the floor of the room, with a massive gut spreading across where he was. It groaned and visibly squirmed with his cult now turned prey, all crammed together.
The veil still covers half the god's face, but his beautiful and deadly features couldn't be denied. The mouth that the veil didn't cover was an enchanting ebony brown that matched its belly, plush lips that fangs poked from the side. One of his hands rested on his belly, caressing it gently while the other lay on the floor to his side. The chains are still on. How come he didn't s break them when he released him?
Now you were so close you could hear the faint screams and protest coming from his stomach.
A dark pool formed at your feet, and dark, tentacle-like things wrapped around you, one stroking your cheek gently. You never took your eye off the god it was almost impossible to look away from him now.
What is your name, my little saviour
You told him, he repeated it, you shivered as he did. A smile came to his lips as he lifted both of his hands to his veil removing it.
Piercing violet-red eyes caught your gaze
I'm truly sorry about your friend... I was barely fed by them.
He spoke, referring to his ones followersers.
And you can't imagine how hungry I am...
Oh yes, you could, you though the belly infron of you loudly groaned.
Oh, but don't worry, I'm quite satisfied now and I would never bring harm to my saviour..but I need your help still little one..
You listened carefully as he explained why he couldn't leave, how the chain around his hand and feet was cursed a millennium ago, to bound him and his power and that they could only be taken of by somebody 'willing' to release him.
Please...I..I've been here for so long alone and so hungry..
His middle growl 'Oh god how is he still hungry!?'
When that old bastard found me, he promised to release me, but instead, he exploited my power for riches! Keeping me here and only feeding me enough to grant him what he wanted
Even if I was mistreated, it was better than being alone, as sometimes the loneliness outweighed the hunger... sometimes.
I know this is too much to ask, but please...
You saw the god's eyes water as he pleaded
I don't want to be stuck here alone...
Dark tears are now falling from the god's face as you stud there frozen
An internal war was going through your head.
Your heart ached, what were you supposed to do? It could be a trap. Who's to say his not evil what if he decided to eat you as well after his freed?
You were then pressed closer to the god's belly, now feeling firsthand the struggle within. Just then, you felt a push. Looking down, you saw the outline of a skull, a chill went down your spine.
You looked at the god one more time and sight
The tentacles retracted back.
'He has such a gentle face...' You thought
'How can something so terrible have such a face..'
One by one, you took off the chains that bound him. And as they hit the floor, they melted into the earth. Now, the god was truly free.
You took two steps back as the god stud up, pushing himself off the ground. Now, at full height, he truly durf you. He moved his wrist a wide just to wide smile came to his lips.
The god's eye fell on you once again. You tried to speak, but before you could say anything, the dark tentacle-like thing grabbed you, raising you up to face the god.
His eyes slightly dilated, the tears had dryed, and that wide smile looked back at you.
'He's going to eat me...'
'Of course he was..I fell for his pretty face, and now I've doomed myself and probably the world.'
Just then, the god giggled he then brought you closer, closing your eyes, not willing to se your end, but it never did.
You open your eyes to then close them again as the god's tongue like your neck and face. A moan came from him
'Aren't you going to eat me..' You said stupidly
The god shuck his head 'no'
But..don't you want to? 'What the hell I'm I saying?!
That same smile crept up the god's lips again, only this time, his mouth was slightly open, showing his sharp teeth.
Of course I do, but I wouldn't do that to you, I still want my little saviour's company..
But I promise you this ...
Ones your time with me is done I will make you part of my form. But not like the ones that are melting in my guts
He spoke, slapping his gut and making the one inside howl in pain.
No, they will know suffering and torment in this life and the next, but you, my little savior, will only now bliss this, I promisee..
He held you with both hands. The tentacles disappeared, and he held you close.
You blush as he kisses the side of your face, then nuzzles you to his neck..
Now how about you tell me how the wold has changed..my sweet new priest
'Oh dear' all this just for wanting to explore an old hotel.
We'll that's it for your simple life. What will you do now?
Last time you ever let peer pressure make you do dumb things like this!?
But hey, this might not be too bad, right?...
