im so silly it ends 12 pm PDT not est bahaha (i hate myself im so dumb) this is kinda old but i dont hate it so i wouldve posted this on my main but sadly i was too busy and didnt have time to draw more (womp womp) yeah idrk, i dont expect to win them but i have a little backstory :thumbs up: so basically there was some sort of nuclear explosion/outbreak on their planet that killed off all the like, vegetation/plants idk. everyone that survived started freaking out but this one like,, culty group kinda came forward and started recruiting a few of them… so um forest (ill just stick with that for now) was lucky enough to be one of the few allowed to join. everyone seemed to blindly follow the leaders and in return they were given like,, food and shelter and for a while they were prospering. then, forest started getting a bit suspicious about where all this stuff was coming from, seeing as how the world was a barren wasteland when they last saw it (the group/cult whatever you wanna call it lives underground) they tried to ask the leaders about it but they all brushed it off saying that the resources above ground were plentiful and it must have been a lapse of memory that made them think it was almost apocalyptic. forest accepted this answer and went back to their usual life, but still felt oddly bothered by this “lapse in memory” they could see it perfectly. the horrid sight of the lifeless planet, dotted by the corpses of those less fortunate than them. forest progressively got more and more upset as they tried to push down the memories of what had happened. until one night they woke up, having had one of many nightmares about the incident, and decided they had had enough. they were going to get out of this place and find out what had been hidden. escaping from the underground prison was no easy task, the winding paths and walkways endless. forest crept as quietly as they could, avoiding what few stragglers were wandering around the halls. they did this for a while until they started to notice a change in elevation. they shuffled through the dark, blindly making their way up the narrow passage. suddenly, a beam of light caught the corner of their eye. it was unlike the fake unfaltering blare oh the artificial lights they were used to. no, this light was different. it was real. unlike anything the had ever seen, but yet so nostalgic at the same time. they stumbled toward it, keeping up a quick pace. they almost had it. forest leapt toward it, ready to face what was waiting for them— forest lay on something grainy. grainy, but soft. they felt around to see what it was. tried to open their eyes. do anything. but they couldnt. they were able to turn their head in the direction they had come from without too much trouple, but what they saw only confused them more. behind them lay a huge rock, looking quite out of place with the flat landscape that stretched on for miles. that mustve been where they came from, but they saw no openings, no caves, nothing they couldve easily gotten out from. they searched for a bit more before looking up. thats when they saw it. above them, about 40 feat or so, lay a little hole. two cold eyes stared at them. forest tried to call for help, but the eyes just blinked and turned away. forest lay down their head and closed their eyes, feeling so helpless. maybe this was just another bad dream. maybe everything would be fine. okay sorry im not the best writer!!! but dw they dont like die or anything,, its just literally 3 hours before the due date so i have to end it there.. normally i wouldve gone into more depth. sorry lol. but anyways yeah! i know its not the most original but *again* im not a good writer. er art is by me and stuff idk
