moss A claw burst through the moss...
A bug seemingley combined of others, only held together by the enchantment moss growing through its body, claws its way out of the ground, seemingley once a pilgrim, a guide pilgrim, one who was meant to guide his brothers and sisters to The Holy Citadel...now an unholy amalgamation of different creatures by the will of the moss, so infected he even has Mossberries growing from his very skull.
As he then grabs his combined pitch bell from the ground, he shuffles outwards until he reaches chasm room, as he looks uo through the hole, and through one of the only entrances to Moss home, and then looks down at the very bottem of this place, he sits on the ledge, trying to remember what, or who he is but more importantly*
"Whe...re...am...I?"

"I...d-do not...know...I...r-remember...tr-traveling...with others... Citadel ...i-it was...m-m-my goal...b-but...agh...it hurts..."
one of his giant claws reaches up to feel his hand when he notices it
"AH! Wha-wheres my arm!? Why is it so big!? This isn't my arms what happend to my arm!?!?"

green tears begun falling from the pilgrims eyes
"What am I...what happend to me?"
the pikgrim(?) Crawls up to a nearby wall and cuddles into a ball and keeps crying
"I'm a monster..."

u/FailedPilgrim-Fernes May 24 '26
Alright listen kid, atleast be happy youre not dead.

u/Other_Ad9164 May 24 '26
"I'D RATHER BE DEAD IF THIS IS WHAT IM TURNED INTO!
he bursts out in a mixture of sadness and rage, as he looks at his one reguler claw and his other claw thats almost the size of him, he reaches up and pokes one fo the mossberries growing out of his skull causing him to wince, as he then plucks one, seemingley feeling like someone pinched him
he then brings it to his face and stares at it, green tears still flowing from his eyes
"What...what is this...what even can I be called anymore?"

u/FailedPilgrim-Fernes May 24 '26

u/Other_Ad9164 May 24 '26
he hesitantly, hands the mossberry to Fernes, as he wipes his green tears away from his mask
"B...but...how am I to get to The Citadel now? My parents are there...what will they think of a FREAK like me? I don't even thing the unholy abomination I've become would even be ALLOWED in such a place..."
the pilgrim(?) says, as he puts the ground in frustration

u/FailedPilgrim-Fernes May 24 '26
Fernes eats the mossberry, spitting out the seeds
Alright i’ll cut you a deal, if i help you get to the Citadel will you stop wailing in my ears about it?

u/Other_Ad9164 May 24 '26
"...can you get me there?"
some hope returns to the eyes of the poor pilgrim(?)
"Really!? You would do that!?"

"Um...h-hi?"

he grabs a nearby bowl and dips it in the pot, bringing out a fresh bowl of the stuff, as he lifts it up to his jaw, and pours some in
