Mommy

I whipped around chunks of monster flesh still clinging to my sword was thrown off and splattered on the walls next to me.  The cave ended in a large craterish hole, there were some shining crystals working as lights (so I could actually see, the entire cave system was lined with them, which at least told me the monsters couldn't see in the dark) at the end of the crater was a huge version of the creatures I'd faced earlier and it was chained.  So the children looked to have overthrown their parent/mom/whatever. Even still I approached the creature with caution, it did not look like it had been some peace loving plant eater prior to being chained up.

"Are you going to kill me too?" The voice was strained, I'd heard a similar tone in myself after years of my own captivity.

"Should I?" It was an honest question I'm not exactly one to judge others for their horrible, but I also had almost become a snack to these creatures and if this one births them somehow I couldn't really justify letting it live.  The creature seemed to give it a lot of thought weighing its options before it spoke again.

"Yes, I tried to not be a monster though I'm sure you will not believe me, ultimately though I became what I am, it is time for me to die and be buried with my children." I was actually kind of sad when the creature spoke, now I can't entirely say it wasn't some forced emotion the beast put in my head (because its offspring could do the same thing). It was kind of funny because I knew all along I would kill it, but hearing it admit it should be killed was kind of a nasty self reflection (no I don't ask people to kill me, but I know that honestly should someone do it, I've earned it). The creature leaned forward, I took up my sword and with a chop it was done.  I worried for a half a second it was going to react and try and kill me, but that fear was over as its weird blood flowed on to the ground.

It took me some time, but I found my way out of the cave of horrors (is there any other type for me? No the answer is no).  I did find some donations to the Lorentino fund amongst discarded things (look the people who's these items belonged to were no longer in any shape to disagree). With a couple hours spent wandering the plains I found my way back to my horse and supplies which were thankfully not picked over and made my way back to town my task accomplished.

I did have a new mission and I knew I'd have to wait for my staff to get back from their vacation to do it, because it would require me to go deep in Red Hand territory and confront a horrible creature for an explination long overdue.  And to that extent I'll leave you here.  Remember to hug your parent, or some crazy person might just murder them because they are a monster... Look it could happen.
