Decay

 I was lost wandering the great mires of the swamp. I passed through a bank of mist and found myself in the strange part of the swamp. The sweet fetor of decay rose heavily in the air. I looked across the land and found it full of decaying material. Insects rose in swarms above the decaying lands, and vast fields of mushrooms could be seen. Then I saw the strangest sight. A city rose out of the decay, and I moved towards the strange city. 

As I came into the city, I found it was a city in a state of decay. Chipped walkways and Moldering buildings were the main things that I saw as I walked into the city. The city brooded as I walked through the shadows of the ruined buildings. From time to time, I saw being moving through the gloom of the city. The being bore signs of disease and corruption as I saw them. They did not seem to even notice me as they walked around. I moved through the city heading into the heart of the city.  

As I came to the heart of the city I found it. A vast palace and it was built of pale stone and was covered in moss. The doors of the palace opened as I approached, and I entered the palace. I wandered through the halls and chambers. The palace was full of decaying furniture; insects and other creatures made their homes inside the palace. I wander inside the palace for an unknown amount of time. Then I found the throne room of the palace. I entered the throne room and found a great throne of decaying stone and on the throne a giant being. It was a bizarre being and it had strange proportions on it body. It seemed to host several insect colonies, and the stench of decay clung to him in a dense cloud. The being looked at me, and I felt it attention on me. The being did not say so much as a word, and I felt the world shift. Then I found myself on the edge of the swamp. I do not know if what I saw in the swamp was real but I am convinced that what I saw was the Archon of Decay.
