Interlude II: Swarm
It could not tell how long it had traveled. Time was meaningless to it. It could have been hours or weeks. It made no difference. What was going to happen would happen and there was nothing in this world that could stop it.
It continued to traverse towards the goal in the distance. It was getting closer slowly but surely. It was vaguely aware of demons and demonesses coming into its range. But it merely took what it needed from them and moved on. Its goal was always at the forefront of its being.
If it had been paying attention, it would have noticed that it was less and less individuals it was finding and more and more couples. Had it cared, it might have even wondered why they were now banding together.
But it did not know nor did it care. After all, even we do not notice when there are two ants traveling together rather than one traveling alone. And these were little more than ants to be crushed and devoured as far as it was concerned.
It did take slight note of the youkai when they swarmed. They actually forced it to stop in its progression for a moment. They almost became a problem for it.
But, in much the way one would brush aside a swarm of gnats in the face, it simply continued on through devouring all in its path. Had it paid attention, it would have noticed the devastation that it left behind.
Had it possessed a thinking mind, it might have not left behind survivors to report on its goings on. However, it was a simple creature. It followed what it felt it should do and traveled where it felt it should go. There was no reasoning behind it. No logic. Simply a call that had to be answered. And it would go where it was called.
And so, it continued on, ever further towards the west, heedless of what it would find there.

Before I get questions, this is the same being that is referred to in the last interlude. It is also referred to in various parts before the first interlude. However, it has not been mentioned recently and I thought now would be a good time to bring up what it was doing. On a side note, any guesses as to who the ‘swarm’ is? (Admittedly, you’ll have to go back pretty far and make some inferences, but still…)
Don’t worry, I have another ‘real’ chapter coming up soon.
As always, thank you for reading and/or responding.
