The Monster Children

They appeared out of nowhere.

Without any kind of indication or warning. They erupted from the ground below or fell to the Earth's surface.

They destroyed populations in minutes. Entire cityscapes in seconds, and buildings crumbled under their mere presence. What could mere powerless children do against walking skyscrapers?

They spared no man, woman, or child.

What they wanted, land, to conquer, or pure aggression was a pure mystery.

All that was for sure was a lot of children were now orphans.

Some were lucky enough to find others to take care of them. Able to survive alongside these broken individuals. Not only having to grow up in this harsh new world but the new monsters that the devastation has created.

If they are able to endure. If they are able to scrounge for food, to persist through the destroyed climate, to salvage some of their humanity left. Then they'll be able to live out their true desire. Revenge.

Though not all the children were as lucky. Not all we're lucky to meet a mentor or a foster parent who has the same wounds as them.

Some ran into their town destroyers while wandering the wastelands. These beasts were not satisfied with taking everything from them. They still wanted more. Some...caved into the abyss-like pressure of beasts staring them in the face.

While other brave souls charged head forward to avenge their cities. Though after years and years of hiding and surviving, they weren't kids anymore.

They've seen the worst the world has to offer and just asked "is that it?"

Some even have monsters (as in more than one) under their belts.

Children, hardened by the wastelands, neverending attacks, and the cruel world. All walking embodiments of a true warrior. Nothing could stop them, not man nor beast.

More than mature, they were all fueled by vengeance. Tunnel vision that's guided by rage.

Hunting every single monster in their path. Slowly driving them back to an even population. Pushing these behemoths to the brink.

Now, these invaders will see what a TRUE monster looks like. Now they will learn they should've never disturbed Earth's TRUE inhabitants.

Hunting as they were hunted. Taking the fight to them.

Killing as they have seen growing up. Reflecting the terror of their childhoods in their weapons.

Attacking them at their nests, while they slept, hibernated, and ate. Catching them off guard as they were. Though, these "Children" have nothing but sticks, stones, and fury. While these biblical monstrosities have rows upon rows of car-sized teeth.

Now, these monoliths will be pushed to the brink. Know what it's like to be the prey, the ones fested on, the ones robbed of their homes. Pushed out into the unknown.

Let's see whose will to live is stronger.

Now both apex predators fight for dominance. The winner rules all of Earth, completely undisputed.

(Author's note. So I need to know if you would want this continued. There are many many avenues I could take this down, but I did want to sort of start this out with a BANG! Then just go from there.

But please let me know. I used the "Wonder" app to produce these images. I am still getting used to it. So please let me know what you think. Sorry if the artwork doesn't match up. I did have to use another separate Artificial intelligence called "Midjourney" Still getting used to that one as well.

I am more acquainted with Wonder so I try to lean on that side more. But again I would like to hear some feedback. Well Till next time!)
