It’s been one month since we discovered this new monster.

One month since they started causing unprecedented havoc across the land.

The empire has given this new terror the name "harrowites".

And have deemed to be alien lifeforms.

The king, worried about this new threat issued orders to create harrowite extermination squads.

Verse 2
It's been a year since the harrowites were discovered.

And the pace at which they feast has not slowed.

Even a new leader has already begun its incubation.

They fatten it up by feeding it their own.

But it comes at a cost.

The loss of self.

The sound of screams and anguish stretch across the land. It has become a living hell.

The world is most certainly coming to its end.

Verse 3
Most people have grown accustomed to the new world order.

But there are some who stand strong.

These brave warriors join the extermination squad.

To revive the fallen name of their once renowned king.

There are those that thirst for blood,

and those that live for the fight.

And those who simply want to help their loved ones.

Their reason for fighting is theirs alone,

but what they have in common is the pride in their hearts.

Verse 4
The tide of battle is beginning to turn.

The harrowites, once thought invincible,

were not as fearsome as one thought.

The extermination squads saw this as their chance to finally beat them back.

The plan? An all out assault.

Live or die, this is it.

Even if an all out assault results in countless deaths.

If it was to protect their country, their families,

their loved ones. It was worth giving their lives.

Verse 5
In an unexpected turn,

the extermination squads had pushed the harrowites back.

The fires of hate within them burned as bright as the sun.

They knew, no matter how long they fought,

loss was never an option.

Their reasons to fight guided their blades.

Until, that is...

The moment they let their guards down.

Absorbent Spider:

Looks lovely.

Looks tasty.

I'll eat it.

No. This is fun. No.

I don't want to kill anymore.

Verse 6
We now will list today's fallen in alphabetical order:

Acanthus

Campanella

Delphinium

Zion

End of report. In all, there were 1,212 fallen.

The battle turned due to a young girl.

She wandered into the battlefield, and to save her squads broke rank, and were overtaken.

And then a giant harrowite appeared fatter than all the rest,

and let out a high-pitched scream.

Verse 7
Only two on our side survived.

-Extermination Squad Commander Crocus

-The girl that caused it all, Digitalis

Both forever haunted by the sight of their people being eaten before them.

A medical sergeant recommended Crocus sit down and talk with the girl, as treatment.

The aim was to use the fact that the girl had survived as a way to give the fight meaning.

Afterwards, they would monitor their progress.

Verse 8
Their progress is showing promise.

The scars left in their hearts started to heal.

Digitalis began to recover from her sickness.

Crocus stopped hurting himself.

Things were getting better.

And not only that.

As the two began to heal

So did the ranks of the extermination squad.

And in the years after the tragedy,

the squads became even bigger than they were before.

And as the two began to get closer and closer,

they headed back to the front lines.

Verse 9
Along with other brave soldiers, they charged forth.

As brave as the look on Crocus's face.

The moment it was severed from his body.

The scream of agony of a girl whose heart had just been shattered ring out as she flails her blade.

Consumed with anger, the girl became a demon seeking revenge.

No matter how long they fought,

her place in the extermination squads,

the place where her heart lived,

and the country she protected, was now in shadow.

She alone, was all who was left to fight the harrowites.

Verse 10
I have no idea

if this message will reach anyone.

But if there is someone out there, anyone.

Please, kill the harrowites.

And avenge us who have fallen.

Please prove that there was reason for our perseverance.

This is Commander Crocus.

Please respond.

Please respond.

Please...respond...

Before I am surely gone.

Absorbent Spider:

Kill! Execute! Murder!

Hurry up and kill me.

No. Don't kill me!

Don't kill meee!

Digitalis...

Release us...

The dying screams of harrowites

shake even the oceans.

The bodies of dead harrowites,

with the history of battles past, gone in the wind.

This report, now lingers in my mind.

The report, with no remaining recipients,

somehow ended up with me.

Were they taken from this world?

Or were they finally set free?

With that

I stared into the void

and into the remains of

where they used to be.
