Why would I free you? I'm having so much fun.

Summary:

Though you knew why, you never did understand why people were still so afraid of this forest. Old legends? Bad vibes? You never cared for spiritual beliefs, and you just couldn't comprehend why people would be so ridiculously paranoid. You didn't hold a care in the world when you walked through the dense, old trees. Hell, you didn't even feel concern as you slowly lurked deeper into a pitch black cave scrawled with bizarre, ancient drawings.
But you did start to change your tune, when you found something inhuman, stowed away deep in those stone tunnels.
But you wouldn't flee from it. No, you were far too… interested in this entity to let it go now.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

He tried all he could, but he just couldn't fight it. He couldn’t escape. The binds stretched to their limit, and the stone walls made crumbling sounds. But despite how hard he pulled his limbs towards the light far at the end, he couldn't break the binds that bound him to the back of the tunnel. It should be possible - after all he had been able to completely crush a human into a boneless blob using just one of his hands. But no matter how hard he strained to escape, he just couldn't free himself from where he had been trapped.

He, a great and dark power as himself, had been imprisoned by pathetic humans.

He felt humiliated. Ashamed. Like he would forever remain trapped. And he shamefully humored the fact that he likely would be.

However, what he had forgotten about those humans, was that they carried an unstoppable urge to meddle in that darkness.

Notes:

Hello everyone! This is my first ever AO3 work (that got published) so criticism is appreciated! I actually got the idea from an ASMR audio on YouTube, where the listener stumbles upon a monster in a cave. Needless to say, I took quite a few "creative liberties" with the concept here...
The video is simple but a lot of fun if you ask me. It's here if you wanna check it out: https://youtu.be/TkxG252AzDE?si=QN71uFsl4hR2v3bH
Well enough of my rambling, I'll (hopefully) see you in the next chapter!
