I've been posting these on twitter and instagram, but for Kaijune, I wanted to share a classic story of mine from 2017 - "THE OXPECKER AND THE ELEPHANT" - a tale of castaways and friendly natives, and the culture clash between them...

KAIJUNE DAY 22: GRAVESIDE

It came from suffering.

The Hunter Killer was lost. Gone. Stolen. We had sent the others searching but to no avail. The Shade was in hiding. The Herald was nowhere to be seen. The Dead Man's Hand had either been vanquished or disappeared to its own unspeakable purpose. The Ambusher had taken the Hunter Killer once. Then we had seen - but what do you do when the lights go out and a colossal being is just gone like it never existed?

And in the rubble and the mud of the pit something stirred with their pain.

The other academy volunteers were inconsolable. None of us could fathom what it meant to embody a being of that much power. To be forced into the Engine again and again, to undergo that horrifying transformation again and again. And now one of them was just gone. Again and again they went into the Engine, and again and again they found nothing.

And in the blood and Ichor of the pit something drank their sorrow.

The three remaining Academy volunteers - no, not volunteers, veterans, they had lost a member in battle, they were veterans - had returned from another searching trip. They had collapsed, sloughing off biological material and Ichor, venting the Thunderers energy. Returning to their bunks and lapsing into bitter silence.

And in the nightmare and horror of the pit the Graveside stitched itself together from their pain.

And walked into the world trailing despair.

Kaijune 2023 - Day 9 - "Levitation"

Kept stalling and restarting the day 1 prompt so I've decided to do the prompts as they come rather than try and catch up.

Using Flancortes' prompt list.

Kaijune Day 01 - The Wreck

When the bizarre meteor landed in the ocean we celebrated.

Celebrated that the howling black hammer of blazing fire and frozen stone had not landed on a populated place, or sent up a tsunami to decimate cities.

After the ruin started - when people demanded to know how no one had seen what was to come the satellite technicians would swear they'd seen fire blasting from the bottom of the thing, slowing it as it had torn the sky.

Later, much later, men had watched the ocean in wonder at what looked to be the largest masted ship the world had ever seen, gnarled wood and strange barely flapping sails that didn't catch the wind. And when the Wreck rose from the ocean, mist and spray dripping from a maw that glowed, all that saw knew it was doom that had come from the sky and doom that heaved it’s titanic form from the ocean.

But it was a beast, and humanity had ruined and broken every beast it had ever encountered, how different could this one be?

Here's a pair of kaiju/eldritch beings from a worldbuilding project I'm working on.

These two have a rivalry as they both represent mammals in the world; albeit Predators and Prey animals respectively. Despite appearing completely differently from each other, some do refer to them as the Twin Gods; although more commonly The Playful Beasts. They are ancient and appeared at some point together during the stoneage, as proved by ancient cave paintings depicting them.

Their name "Playful Beasts" comes from the fact that they seem to chase each other around the world. Some wounds do occur, but never anything life threatening to either.
