Despoiler of Flesh

Hidden I have been for far too long.
You pathetic sacks of pink rice-paper flesh have no Idea.
I have lurked through the shadows of your world for Millennia.
unseen by all except my victims. And how I love to rip your weak flesh apart with my bare hands.
My claws digging in and so easily pulling your kind apart...
But I digress....I am not here to gloat over my superiority to you.
I am here....to talk...to open your fragile little minds to the reality that is me and my kind.
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is "Midian",The "Despoiler of Flesh".
An assumed alias...for revealing my true name would give the learned among you power over me, and that I just can not allow, Can I? However it does have it's uses.
I am among the upper echelon of demons, unique in form and without fear of any other.
I may take many guises,
but my natural form is my favorite,
A twelve foot tall, scaled humanoid....powerfully muscled and with massive clawed hands and feet.
I have no hair, my skin is the color of dried blood, and my eyes are a solid, glowing, flaming red.
Two large rams horns, the color of burnt bone adorn my head which appears distinctly reptilian, .
My mouth is full of daggers...but none more impressive than the two fangs that jut out from my upper jaw...they measure a foot and a half long and drip a virulent venom, that is the yellow color of bile.
I have large feathered wings....much like those of the sweetest angel...though my feathers are black with red tips,
and there are tiny hands in the middle with large hooked claws.
I have no tail...for in a fit of rage I ripped it off....the wound still oozes the thick black Ichor that serves me as blood.

But enough of that....I am here to relate a story am I not?

It begins long ago....when I was ...."born"...for lack of a better word for the process, I was already grown and strong...my "father"...a powerful fiend called Orcus..sent me on my first....gathering mission.

The mission was of course to slaughter humans...cattle to us...and claim their souls.
This I did with relish. I would terrify and torture mothers by biting off the heads off their children, and then having my pleasures with the opening of their throats.
It was a tight fit indeed...but at least I had the blood to lubricate...( Laughter).
Men would watch as I sucked their unborn children out of their wives......and then the real fun would begin, as I remember fondly of the time I forced a man to take bites out of his wife...a nipple....an ear...a toe...the game lasted for days...until I choked her to death with my Phallus, and then beat him to death with his wife's seed leaking corpse.

after a few thousand fun years as a gatherer the time came to give me my "promotion" and so I again went before my father, this time to learn what my real purpose in the Abyss would be. the ceremony took weeks, consisting of mating rituals...in which we would rape humans to spawn a type of fiend called " cambions". Sacrifice tournaments abound as demons attempted to out do each others brutality and number of kills.
My father won of course, using his massive girth to crush and suffocate many humans with relative ease.

Soon it came to be that I learned my purpose; FEAR!!
Oh i was enraptured to learn this....no one could make a group of humans  cover themselves in their own wastes like I could. A pact was made with a human, a priest of some kind I believe that he would summon me forth to the world...which would free me from the clutches of the Abyss...For only when humans call us may we spend more than a few days on your world...we get forever!
Or until the human dismisses you...or you are slain...which means little...just a measly 100 year ban, a blink of an eye for us....but this is why I slew the human priest as soon as his spell finished...I would have no one have power over me...and for his service he was given my true name...
I would not...nay could not abide to being a slave to a creature no better than a maggot.

And so I was free.
At long Last,I was on my own, for I have no one to answer to.
I set about my task immediately. slaughtering hundreds.
and no one could do a damn thing about it.
I would collect the finest specimens for my own amusement forcing a boy to procreate with the month old corpse of his mother sister...or just some random dead whore I had strewn about my lair...and then animate the corpse and watch as it ripped the victim apart.

As time progresses I grew decadent, lazy even....for I thought none could challenge me.
I thought my self the mightiest creature on this pathetic wad of feces you call a planet.
Apparently...I thought wrong.

It was about three thousand years after I was summoned...at least a thousand years after I watched the peasant you call the "Son of God"...die horribly upon his crucifix...an execution method that I can happily say was my creation...among so many others...it was pathetic...I still giggle merrily to this day remembering his whimpering and his begging....for he was nothing more than a deluded fool...and his mother, naught but a common whore...though I must give her credit....she got away with it.
So a thousand years after Christs death I was doing business as usual, deep in the wilderness of Europe.
I was terrorizing a group of villages...Honestly they deserved it...Bunch of cowards...I was having my fun until they hired some Magician, I believed him to be a fake...or at least nowhere near to my level of power...I underestimated him and his apprentices...A mistake that cost me dearly.

The seven little worms boldly walked right into my Castle home,....The undead that served me crumbled to dust in their mere presence...I was impressed..but not afraid.
I allowed them to enter my throne room...and I laughed at their faces...so full of shock and disgust as they beheld my glory..and my art!!
I stood to my full height and spread my wings...the little trollops I had been carefully dismembering and devouring screamed...the young wizards..oh how they shook!!
But that old man....the little BASTARD!!!!
He simply smiled...SMILED!!!!.imagine my rage at this affront!!!!!!
Here...I am FEAR INCARNATE!!!! I am hell unleashed!!!!
And HE JUST SMILED!?!?!?!
I had had enough of him by this time...so I unleashed My deadly breath..and a cloud of vapor enveloped the seven fools.
Most of them were able to Protect themselves...but three of the young ones fell victim to the deadly acid!!!
I laughed as the flesh melted off their bones and they screamed!!!! Music!! such beautiful music it was!!!
then the three lifeless skeletons jerked into motion....chattering their teeth and circling the four survivors....The old man spoke....only one word..."Malothos." and to my surprise my new pets fell to the ground....once again lifeless!
"Who the HELL do you think you are to interfere with me and my work!!" I roared at this little pest.

"simply an exterminator of unearthly vermin."
He stated it with such calm and self assurance that I took a step back in shock!
Then I began to know fear!!!
I began to remember stories of Humans...Who could master the magics that enveloped the universe to bend it to their wills...and I looked again at this tiny shriveled up old man...and I saw the Power within him!!!!
I panicked!!!!
I unleashed a storm of lightning and fire at the intruders...I flung half rotted and half eaten corpses at them and tried to run...to flee to a safe have....but I could not!!! the Old man had used him very will to create a barrier...I could not run!!!
And so I lashed out...This must not have been expected because I killed another apprentice...shoving my hand straight through him and ripping him in half!
Now they moved around...hurling their own spells at me...
none of them hurt...I killed the other apprentices with unholy flame and turned to the old man...I smiled....for there was no way he could defeat me alone...not with his young ones dead...I advanced upon him and he held up a large ruby...seeing this but not understanding I charged at him
And my world became pain....terrible agony...and I felt my self becoming less substantial.....I was drifting into the ruby...and it dawned on me what had just happened...the young ones knew they were going to die,.....They were meant only to distract me while their master uttered a near silent spell.....An entrapment spell....I was.....Fucked.
My essence became one with the jewel.
I became the old mans slave.....He has divined my true name and now he used it...for many years...more than was natural for a human...and I learned that he was just as vile as me...using the deaths of those tender young men...(and he would know......He took them as often as possible...but they were replaceable of course)..to get to me...he used my essence to prolong his life...drinking it..a little at a time,
just enough to fuel the old bastard....but not enough to endanger the entrapment spell...And so I waited and I learned...I found so many interesting things out....I learned he had once had a family, and that he had slain all but his eldest son...who had run off...a mighty wizard in his own right and hidden himself.
The magic began to fail him though....and the fool took a risk he should not have.....he tried to merge with the entirety of my essence...And oh did he FAIL!!!!
He released me and was far too weak to defend himself...I wanted to prolong his death....but I gave in and killed him quickly...because I was not free of the ruby yet.
After his death.....hundreds of years passed...and I suddenly found my self in the light....bored I has gone to sleep....but some fool of a scientist had apparently found me years earlier...and I had slept through it...I gazed around....hundreds of you ugly rats were staring at me....I was an ATTRACTION!!!!!
Nothing more than a pretty bauble to stare at....
Soon the people left.....and darkness fell...I had to get out of that damn gem!!!!!
I did not have to wait long....for greed is the ultimate motivator to you worms.
A thief came in the middle of the night and after long tense moments....he took me home.....I started implanting suggestions in his weak little mind...." you must break up the gem!"..."it will be easier to sell the smaller pieces!"
" You would get more money..."
That was the correct message....for not too long after he smashed the ruby...I felt that terrible pain again...and I thought I has made another mistake....but I soon found my self standing over the little man/rat...who had freed me...before he saw my true self I shape shifted into something....more attractive....I told the man...whose name I never learned....To help me find something....the long lost relatives of the horrible man who had so wronged me....with a little persuasion...he was more than happy to oblige....I had learned the old wizards name at the moment I had killed him.....Aleazer Nastorian...oh yes....sound familiar my little friend?
The woman leans closer.
He was your Great great great great great great great Grandfather...
The man looks confused
Surprise!!!!!!!
It took a while, but you are all that is left....your entire family...and yes...I am the one responsible for ALL their deaths!!....Your mother...your father, aunts,uncles, cousins ,You are all DEAD!!!!
I killed your Wife and Your four children earlier today!!!!
Their screams were as honey to me!!!
I even had myself a little pleasure at their expense!
The man mumbles
"What did you say worm?!?"
"YOU LIE!!!!"
YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME!?!?!?
The woman smiles wickedly
Well now...Mr.Donald Nastorian...Let me fully introduce myself!!!!
Then you will fully understand the levity of your current situation!!!

The man screams in terror as the Demon takes it's true form.
The demon laughs and then vomits forth several body parts...some of them recognizable....the man screams again as the decapitated head of his youngest daughter turns and looks at him....."Help me daddy"....The head said....."The mean man made me do naughty things....And Oh daddy it was so much fun!!!....why did you never do such things with me?  I would have been so much better than mommy was.....she was just a used up whore anyway!....kiss me daddy!! kiss me on my secret place!!!"...the head laughed horribly as it melted into pus and ichor.
"No! the man said
"This is A dream!! It's just a horrible dream!!!!"
"Oh my dear boy...It is a dream...a dream come true for me!!! Long have I waited to avenge myself upon your family!!!!"
"Too long have I been imprisoned!!!"
"And now" the demon said "I will be done with this"
With a sudden quick motion the demon rips out the mans rib cage....leaving all his organs exposed,stunned Donald slumped to the floor, his lifeblood seeping out of him the pain was so horrible he could not scream, even though he wanted to.
And then the beast stood over him and held out it's phallus.
It spoke to him. "Every mortal that A demon slays and devour es becomes apart of that demon, the souls are corrupted and are transformed into a sort of....demonic infant,which we call "Larvae"...they are wretched little beasts...But we tolerate them because we can power through them and they become the next generation of Fiend"...With these words Midian smiles and looks down, Donald's glazed eyes follow his and widen in horror.
The Beast's phallus was swollen unpleasantly and suddenly spasmed and seemingly ruptured as small worm-like creatures with human faces...the faces of his family!!!spilled forth from that unholy organ to drop on the floor...the creatures mewled and hissed as they crawled towards him, and he was helpless he knew he should be dead knew the wound the beast gave him was...should be mortal... and yet he lay there ...those horrible twisted caricatures of his loved ones slowly inching there way toward him and he knew the Demon was keeping him alive, could feel it's will forcing his body to continue living. Donald whimpered because he knew by looking at the monster who had butchered his family...that it would keep this game going as long as it wished to, and that it would not end soon.
it seemed an eternity before the larvae  got to him,and he was almost relieved in a horrible way when his "wife" began to burrow her way into his thigh....as all of the little horrors shoved their heads deep into his flesh,burrowing deep into his body,devouring all as he watched. the pain was unbearable..and the demon laughed at him,taunted him.
"Scream!! You know you want to!...there is no shame..SCREAM!!!!!!" it roared it eyes ablaze, and Donald did scream then,the thing with his daughter's face had found his groin and had burrowed into it..laughing that horrible chittering insect laughter.
Donald twisted and writhed and tried to pull the thing out ,but it's flesh was too slimy and it's jaws to strong...it slipped from his grasp and continued on it's way.
For days He lay there...feeling the things inside of him,chewing away at his body that should have been a corpse long ago. He felt little pain now, just terror. the demon was growing bored for with out lungs the man could not scream or beg. And so finally it stood over him leaning close.
The demon smiled...it cruel fangs gleaming as that horrible yellow fluid dripped onto Donald's exposed and mostly devoured organs,on contact the venom burned and ate away at him rapidly consuming his flesh and leaving a foul ooze in it's wake, He screamed one last strangled scream and mercifully His "son" bored through his eye, devouring his brain and he knew no more.
The demon watched his final tortured breath,and sighed he bent over the liquefied corpse and whispered something in a language the human mind could not even begin to comprehend, and the little larval monsters poured out of it..joined by a new member,one that had Mr. Donald Nastorrian's face...they crawled on and the demon opened it's mouth and let then crawl in,allowing them one by one to slide down his throat,his children needed their rest after all, so they burrowed their way back into his body through his stomach,he grimaced but it was a pain he could bear.
When they were done he stood and appraised his work.
"I still have the magic touch!" He said laughing madly at his own jest.

Later on a man is seen walking out of the house, the smile on his face so wide it nearly reaches his ears...he walks to the red light district of town.

"And so...My immediate business has been completed...I wonder what a seven thousand year old demon can do for fun around here"...Midian stops,taking in the sights, sounds, and smells.
" Oh I do believe I am going to like this town!'
"So full of vice and and sin...I wonder..."
Midian reaches out and taps a man on the shoulder.
"excuse me my dear fellow, but what is the name of this fair city?"
The homeless man looks at Midian with paranoia and contempt.
" Yer in Los Angeles Ya dumb mothah fucker." he says before stumbling down the street.
Midian watches him go...smiling wider when a speeding truck hits the old man...turning him into a thick paste on the road.
"What a nice fellow." the demon said chuckling.
"Could learn a few manners though."
Midian stretched and gave a great Laugh.
"The city of angels it is then." he says before turning and walking down the street, hands in his pockets whistling some show tune he had recently heard.

The End
