Marco cried and begged, but the three only watched as the titan's jaws clamped down on his face and shoulder. His heart rate increased, eyes widening as far as they would go. Tears flowed from his eyes like rivers.
Then, the pain.
Pain like he'd never felt before. Teeth shearing through his very soul, bright and all encompassing. His eyes flicked up to the bright sky. The moon was visible today.
…
Marco coughed and sputtered, he rolled around on the ground. Blood painted his entire right side a brilliant red. He panted and hissed, lips ripped away and only one eye frantically rolling around in his head. He had survived.
Somehow, he survived.
He gurgled and rolled onto his back, one arm flailing stiffly. His fingers had curled up and frozen themselves that way. Marco yelled, smashing his numb hand against the ground, the a crack let him know the bones had broken. He dragged the bleeding mess towards himself. A faint burning filled his head, and he wondered if his brain was exposed.
Motivated only by a sudden, overwhelming hunger, Marco dragged himself along the ground. A delightful smell filled the air, his mouth watered, the saliva spilling past his lipless teeth and dripping down his chin. Soon enough, he found the source, the lifeless body of one of his comrades. His head was crushed into pink chunks, his belly ripped open, the intestines spilt out.
He didn't even try to stop himself. Marco tore into the flesh, greedily ripping away and gulping down as much as he could force his weakened body to manage. He ate the brains first, the soft material easily going down his gullet. Then, he started tearing at the organs. Pulling his head back, something in his mouth popped, and bits of white fell to the ground.
He let out a wheezing sob. And this has always been what I deserve, Marco thought, for my teeth to just fall out. He did deserve this, he deserved for them to rip away his only means of defense and leave him for dead. The reality was that he was nothing more than a piece of shit who was only weighing everyone else down.
Marco wanted to join the Military Police, and for what? To serve the king? Hah! Clearly they could see through this, even Marco himself wasn't so aware of his selfish desires. He just wanted to live a comfortable life away from these horrors. So stupid and naive and selfish. Certainly Marco cared so much more about his own comfort and safety than the wellbeing of his own comrades.

Summary:
Driven by the darkness and restlessness inside, Berenga Goodchild used to wander the distant outskirts of The Shire and dream of roads leading to places where there were no second breakfasts to be had. A black rider on a winged beast in the sky embodies that which the young hobbit longed for, and Berenga becomes filled with something greater than one's own self.
A story of a young Jedi looking for the wrong kyber crystal.
Written for Fandom Empire Bingo 2025 - Prompt: Hyacinth(purple) I am sorry!
and Sweet and Short September 2025 - Prompt: Promise
and /r/FanFiction's Trope Bingo 2025 - Prompt: Snowed In
and @horrortember 2025 - Day 24: “And so he felt he had to prove to everyone he was evil.” | Inadequacy | back against the wall | debt
The initiate was confident that he would have the best, most powerful kyber crystal ever grown. So he went deep into the icy cavern in search of it.
But to do this, he ignored the pull of the Force, guiding him towards his true crystal. He had seen it, glittering in the ice, but it was so small that he thought it could not possibly be his. Without trusting the Force to guide him, he soon got lost. But that did not matter, he reasoned, as soon as he found the right crystal, he would listen again and find his way.
And there! He could see one, bright and larger than his hand, that must be his crystal! He did not think about how it could fit into a lightsaber, he only thought of showing off the giant crystal to his friends.
It was not easy to reach, but he had expected a trial, so he was not dismayed. He climbed, carefully, across the treacherous ice, and at the edge of a precipice he reached across it and grasped for the kyber. His fingers closed on the edge of it, too large to get a good grip. But slowly, he worked it free.
But as it came loose from the ice, it came loose from his fingers, too. He lunged for it, forgetting his caution, and tumbled into the depths.
