Username: Hydra.
Flitz name: Erlik
Legend: -- The Judge and Jury --
Imagine being the first to make something different, something new. Now imagine that everyone rejected that new idea, leaving you to drown in fear. Nothing could be worse than being told you can't do it, that you can't possibly do something of importance without ruining it; that you're too clumsy, or too unimportant to do anything well. Erlik had to go through that, and he didn't take so kindly to it.
It didn't take the malevolent flit long before he started to grow darker. With all of the hate other flitz gave him, it was no surprise when he returned that hate. Erlik began to become distant, he always kept himself away from happy flitz, he couldn't deal with how they got what they wanted. He despised how they had their ideas supported, unlike him. His ideas were rejected, and he was labelled as insane. It wasn't until he died that others began to actually understand how far they had pushed him.
Imagine taking a trek into the dark woods, where he once lived. The crows would be cawing at you, as if they're screaming at you to turn around. Their beady eyes glistening a deep red color, and their sharp beaks split as they warned you. The trees swayed, the branches seemed like pointed claws, reaching out to stop you. The thick fog below your feet making it difficult to see where you were stepping. Everything was seeing at you, clawing at you to make you stop. But it all dissipated as a tree branch crashed down above you.
You had heard of the legends of this forest, that there was a flit that once died here from grief, and his lack of will to live. That he had gotten sick and couldn't last much longer. The crows pecked at his carcass as he died, removing everything from his face, leaving nothing but a skull. You heard that when others went to find him, that thick white fog covered his body, and that was why he had his face pecked away. You remember hearing that he could care less about his own health, that he let his claws grow out to be sharp like daggers, and that he had plants growing on his antlers.
You gave a shaky sigh as you closed your eyes. You could feel fog rolling over your body, and as you looked down at your paws, you realized that you hadn't tended to them in forever. Your claws were as sharp as can be, like Erlik. The crows cawed above you, their tones sharper, and much louder now. You were wary about the situation. You could have sworn you heard claws scrapping against the muddy ground, as if they were being dragged against the ground from bring too long.
So you look up, squinting as if that would help you see better, which it didn't. A dark figure began to slowly show itself, and you could make out a few details, their face was gone, it was nothing but a skull. Their claws were narrow, sharp and elongated, and their antlers had green wrapped around them. They looked awfully like you, except for one big difference. You had a face, and they didn't. The crows began to look like they come from your nightmares, with their beady red eyes, serrated beaks, and intensely sharp claws. They stared down at you, and you whimpered. The figure that once stood in front of you, was gone. You could have sworn th-- they were you, that was you.
All along, you thought the legend of Erlik was a flit who was hungry for the faces of other flitz, that he was estranged and demented. You never once stopped to realize other flitz were talking about you. You realized that you had been so full of yourself, that you had torn the faces off of other flitz who had rejected your ideas. You were the monster they spoke of. You smiled vaguely, realizing you were the one who punished those who rejected your reasonable ideas. You were the judge, and the jury. The final verdict, you were guilty. Guilty of being a punisher.
