Oceans roared,
the winds howled,
His great wings folded as he replaced his velvet robes with his tattered and torn ones.

All around, those who wailed and screamed were ripped apart,
limb for limb, they were descended upon,
curiously ripping through their insides as if searching.

They whispered amongst themselves,
like insects over the fresh corpse
When He walked through, no one dared to ask about it.

They knelt with their offerings,
each one was swatted aside,
with the price of failure being paid as they were ripped apart by the tides of the rapids

As he looked on, lightning bolts rained down and water came scarcely.
There was no water here. The only water was in the rapids, and everyone who came close was torn as water rammed through their brittle bones.

No one complained here.
Their teeth were red, for they drank the blood of others to quench their thirst.
No one spoke against the brutality of it, for anyone who didn't watch out fell victim to the ravenous swarm.

As He looked on, he let out a grin and strode off.
