The Darkest Road

Demonic-Pokeyfruit

Everything started becoming a blur. The dust of the bare ground had been kicked into the air from the beating, and it filled Toadwax's throat and eyes. Pain rocketed throughout his body, and he remained still for the next few moments. For a short instant, he felt as though he was outside of his physical shell. He was trying so hard to forget his pain that he imagined he was somewhere else. Of course, it wasn't a permanent treatment, and his burning eyes opened once more to see the face of his tormentor. His infamous, hated tormentor.

As this was only the beginning stage of his dementia, Toadwax was able to use the energy of his rage to roll back onto his starved belly, and move his legs so that he could prop himself from falling over again. Now the blood was soaking into his eyes, and the corners of his vision were coated in red. He blinked and lifted his head so he could barely catch a glimpse of the face of Woundwort, and his lips curled back into a snarl, blood pouring out of his beaten stomach and dripping down his tongue and lips. He still attempted to speak.

"I can't wait for the Black Rabbit to take you... then I can watch you burn..." Toadwax managed to force out, before the blood in his throat forced him to close his maw and swallow it so that he could breathe.

Woundwort only chuckled, his deep voice piercing the air, and Toadwax's ears.

"All of these moons I've rendered you as the same, boneless puddle of flesh, and you still continue to fight." Woundwort cackled, and he lifted his giant, bloody paw.
Toadwax's slipped out of consciousness as he felt another painful blow to the head.


I'm an incredibly big fan of Watership Down, and even the cartoon series. I have quite a few characters created for this, and I may put up a few of them here.
So this particular piece takes place before Toadwax becomes an actual leader. He's forced to become a "training tool" for the soldiers of Efrafa, allowing Woundwort and countless others to willingly beat the snot out of him, all for a mistake not directly being his fault. These many beatings are the source of his paranoia and dementia, and ultimate descent into insanity.
