"What are you doing in my swamp?"

──────────────

The words slithered across
Perdita's tongue. She was shaky and
nervous... why we she so nervous?
"P-please... why are you here?" her
eyes shifted left and right, like
she was looking for something or
someone. "I'm just traveling through.
Do you know the way?"
You asked, shifting your
weight. Immediately her eyes
grew large, and she shook her head.
"No, you don't understand! You can't
be here!" she sounded like she was
on the verge of tears, and you
couldn't help but feel bad for her.

There was a snap of a twig behind you
and you spun on your heals towards the
sound. There, sanding at a towering
12 feet, was an indescribably
grotesque monster. The best sprung at
you, picking you up with his large hands.
"Who is this, Perdita?!" it roared
at the girl. Who was standing, understandably,
frozen with fear.
"P-please! I was just g-getting
them to leave!" she squeaked.
His gaze shifted to you, and he scoffed.
"Don't come back here ever again." and
tossed you into the mud.

Before you managed to wipe the mud off your
face, the creature was gone.
And so was the girl.
A single thought circled your brain,
"What am I doing in this swamp?!"

What are you doing in my swamp?: [500 words, Jaidev belongs to me]
"Leith?" came the small voice. "I, um, don't think this is a good idea."
Jaidev padded behind the older Kalon, shaking like a leaf. Sure, in the beginning he had wanted to go see the swamp, but now that he saw the forest it was located in, he was having doubts. He clutched his satchel tightly, knowing it was his only defense against any attack. Leith chuckled.
"Don't be so nervous." she told him. "Once we get there, I promise the herb you need is there."
Jaidev hoped she was right. He needed chervil for his father's ranch, and had been told that the swamp had a good supply of the plant.
He shivered; Jaidev was beginning to regret not bringing a jacket. He glanced up at Leith.
"Are we close now?" he asked, voice trembling almost as much as he was.
"Yup! It's just past those bushes." Leith pointed, and Jaidev looked over to where she was pointing. Through the bushes, he could see the moss-covered trees of the swamp. The two pushed their way through the bushes, and were soon standing in front of the swamp. The water was filled with green algae, and everything around it was covered in thick moss. The whole scene looked incredibly eerie in the dim moonlight.
"Go get your chervil, then."
Jaidev jumped, but did as he was told. Soon he had potted a good sized plant. He stood up, clutching the pot tightly. He walked back to Leith, but she stopped him.
"Don't move."
Confused, the little Kalon turned to see what she was looking at. A huge dragon was towering over Leith. Leith had drawn her sword, and looked ready for a fight. She took a few steps towards Jaidev, never taking her eyes off of the beast, then she grabbed Jaidev's wrist. She screamed for him to run, and the dragon launched itself at the Kalons.
Jaidev let out a scream and bolted. His satchel swung about wildly, but he clutched the chervil tightly. He didn't want to drop it, not after trekking all day to find it. He was scared to look back, but occasionally Leith fell behind some to slash at the dragon. It roared angrily each time, but eventually, Jaidev could see his father's ranch on the horizon.
"Come on!"
He hopped the fence, and Leith followed. The dragon smashed through the fence as though it was made of sticks, and Jaidev flinched. His father would not be pleased that the fence had been broken. They kept running until they came to a barn. Jaidev suddenly had an idea, and he grabbed Leith's hand and pulled her into the open barn. Slamming the door shut, the two Kalons hid. They could hear the dragon's heavy breathing outside. They held their breath, and after a few minutes, they heard the beast stomping angrily back into the forest. Jaidev let out a sigh of relief, and Leith shot him a grin.
"Let's never do that again." Leith chuckled.

What are you doing in my swamp?: [500 word limit] What am I doing in your swamp? Good question. I'm here because I have nothing better to do so I set out on an epic quest to travel the world far and wide, and well, here I am! I found this place merely by chance and was hoping i could stay for a while. You see, I haven't really visited a swamp before and I was curious to see if i could find new animals and plant species. I hope you don't mind my presence here!

Gender: Agender
What are you doing in my swamp?:
Crouched in the swamp’s underbrush, Anchovy sits, their hair covering their face. All is silent, only their heavy breathing present. As they sit, movement can be heard behind them. Sucking in a deep breathe, they turn, pushing their hair from their face, a meek look on their face.

“W...What are you doing i... in my swamp...?” The question is drawn out, their voice shaky as the kalon looks at the intruder. The intruder, a small gray rabbit, hops by, not paying attention to the others’ words. A small whimper leaves Anchovy’s mouth as they sit back down, head in their hands.

“H..How can I protect the swamp... w..when I’m so... so unthreatening...” Tears threaten to spill from their eyes as they sniffle. However, their distracted from their thoughts as something comes out of the underbrush to them, rubbing against their legs. Looking up, Anchovy is surprised to see the rabbit from before, nuzzling them in what appeared to be an attempt to comfort the poor kalon. A small smile spread across their face as Anchovy held out a hand to the rabbit. Instantly, the rabbit bonked its head into their hand. A smile spread against their face as the pat the rabbit. Within minutes the rabbit ended up in their lap, cuddling up against Anchovy.

“T.. Thank you..” Anchovy softly whispers to the rabbit as they sit, realizing that, maybe being unthreatening isn’t a bad thing.

[499/500 words]

“What are you doing in my swamp?” the sinister voice growled. Kiku trembled in fear. “I-I-I’m so sorry... I didn’t know this was your swamp.” Her voice shook. It just cackled back as Kiku cried out in terror and darkness swallowed her.
Kiku jumped out of bed with a yelp. She looked around her, this wasn’t the spooky swamp in her dream, just her bedroom. Letting out a sigh of relief, she looked at her nightstand where a small silver anklet with a purple gem lay. So much had changed since she first received that anklet. Who knew an entire life could be turned upside down after one incident. It had been traumatizing enough for her to constantly have nightmares. Although being quite a long time ago she will never forget it.

It had been a normal day in the village she grew up in. Kiku was playing with her school friends tossing a ball around, until this bully in their class, Hopper, showed up snatching the ball. He smirked “Scram Losers.” Being the hot headed and bold child she was Kiku quickly retorted with “Oh I’m sorry, were we meant to be offended? The only thing offending me is your face.” Hopper’s face reddened, “You idiot!” he tossed the ball at her too fast for her to dodge. SMACK! It hit her in the cheek and she fell to the ground. The impact made her silver anklet on her leg fly off. “What’s this?” Hopper picked it up. “Give it back!” “If you want it back then go get It.” he then tossed it behind him into the dark swamp. “You know the stories about that place, the Madremonte lives there, be careful she might find you!” he cackled. As he left Kiku just stared into the bog. “I am not afraid.” she whispered to herself. With that she walked into the thick undergrowth and disappeared into the darkness.

She eventually found her anklet but she was completely lost. Hoping to find a way home she continued to wander. She had thought she was brave before but now she could see it was only an illusion, she was terrified. Then she heard the most evil voice imaginable growl “What are you doing in my swamp?” the sound rattled her bones. Then a monstrous lady emerged covered in bushes and plants, her limbs seemed to be made up of tree roots and her sharp teeth shined next to her glowing eyes. Darkness enveloped Kiku as the swamp around her tormented her. Twigs flew at her face and rain matted her fur. In panic she ran head first into a tree, blacking out, the last thing she remembers is the Madremonte standing above her with a wicked smile.

She woke up in an entirely different place. She didn’t know how or where but she wasn’t home. Little did she know that she was far away from her hometown and that it would be that way for a very long time.

extra: [184/300 words]

The Madremonte is a creature of Colombian
Folklore.Her role is to protect nature, she rules the wind, rain, and
vegetation. She punishes those who invade her territory, by
making them get lost. Paths will suddenly disappear and
become overgrown with vegetation, mountains will change
their shape, and the person becomes dizzy and will often sleep
for several hours. When they awaken, they are completely lost. The
Madremonte looks like a large woman with glowing eyes, large teeth, and
bony hands. She is covered in leaves and moss and her hair is a tangled
mess of plants that cover her face.

Kiku’s silver anklet was a gift from
her mother a long time ago. She almost never takes it off.
It is of great importance to her especially now since she
hasn’t been home for years. It is the only thing she has
left of her life before getting lost. It is a plain silver color
with a few swirl designs going around it. In the center there
is a small purple opal like stone. It symbolizes, by
strengthening intuition, to break away from any
self-imposed bonds of past or present lives.
