Rather than attempting to escape, Esther remains lying under the acid, knowing that resistance is futile and accepting her fate is the safest way. As time passes, her body gently dissolves, leaving nothing but her skeleton and her memory behind... [END]

Hyperion's hand brings Esther ever closer to their opening maw, and the rate of it intensifies every second. Then, as Esther enters the maw, Hyperion downs her down without a second to waste. Esther bangs her head on the esophageal walls as she slides down, landing in the acid.

With a swift of the hand, Hyperion vigorously grabs Esther. The grasp around her body intensifies, limiting her limb movement to none. Tears crawl out of her eyes as she cannot escape this time. — “You will be much happier in my stomach, just like the rest.” Hyperion smirked.

Esther's despair grows ever more. Her heart beats much harder and louder than it did yesterday. Her lips dry out and she feels goosebumps across her whole skin. — “Am... am I the one I owe to you...?” Esther hesitated. — Hyperion chuckles. “Yes! But don't you worry, dear...”

— “Yeah, and?” — “Now I gotta get what I want! A deal is a deal.” Hyperion scoffs. — “What do you want then?! Tell me already!” Esther screamed again. — ”I just want something that you really owe me... you.”

— “I did, but then you ruined it!” Esther yelled. — Hyperion rolls their eyes again. “I'm just doing what we agreed upon!” — “Oh yeah? And what did we agree on, you monster?!” — Hyperion stops before responding. “I gave you your happiness, didn't I?”

As Hyperion forcefully grabs each and every victim into their maw, one by one, Esther rushes to them. — “What is going on? Why are you doing this?” Esther confronts. — Hyperion replied reluctantly, “You're so silly, you! Didn't you get what you wished for?”

The figure reveals to be none other than Hyperion, the Guardian of Nature whom Esther had just encountered the day before. Thick vines sprout throughout the city, trapping its denizens on the ground as victims to be sent to the Guardian's round and adorable belly.

Esther's joy immediately turns to despair as she notices the destruction. She turns her head up and notices sunlight reflecting off of a figure's voluminous, rosy hair. The same figure supports a sports bra made of leaves and branches, and an earthly skirt hiding their throbbing bulge.

An enormous, round foot, with its sole as soft as a baby's bottom, comes crashing down on a large chunk of the street, destroying many buildings within its colossal vicinity. All nearby buildings turned into mere rubble, cars into junk, and people into... a cuddling dizzy pile.
