A Rare Bear’s Rampage
Cutting it close again for Macro March though not quite as close as the year I first posted this poem when I got it in in the literal final hour of the month. A poem about Theo finding himself under someone else’s spell while just out shopping and going on a literally gigantic rampage. One of the rare pieces where I’ve played with Theo’s size changing to make him macro sized which is something I really should do more but anyway. This is meant to be a more random adventure separate from the rest of his lore and not something I plan to call back to honestly, so it’s basically a one off. Originally posted this in March 2022.
A Rare Bear’s Rampage
By: A.X. Bueno
In a suburb some distance away from home a certain polar bear is shopping at the mall Buying new clothes, new potion making gear blissfully unaware of who’s watching it all
Someone’s watching him from their house’s comfort and they’ve cooked up a not so little scheme
There’s a fellow magic user, an unknown human laughing as Theo becomes agleam
This human has taken control of him and wants to take the bear’s powers for a spin
They compel him to use his own magic to grow and that is when the fun begins
The polar bear breaks through the roof thankfully his clothes growing too
Reaching a size he technically could but normally wouldn’t alone
He’s well on his way to being an enormous two hundred feet tall
And at his feet everything else including the people are rather small
He picks up two humans and a hyena beastman feeling them in his bumpy black pawpad squirm
They try to fight his grasp but it holds firm
The human from somewhere compels him to pop them into his muzzle and send them down his fuzzy, fleshy slide
And as he crashes a house underpaw they land into his stomach where they’ll now permanently reside
The bear purrs at the sensation of their fighting and continuing to squirm in his hungry belly
His rampage continues as both he and his magical controller crave more
Houses, buildings and cars all crushed
More people devoured and paw prints all over many streets and floors
With this being a typically quiet neighborhood little resistance is met that isn’t soon hushed
Halfway into all the destruction the ice magic of the bear is noticed and remembered
Both by the polar bear mage and the human manipulating this whole mess
This cranks up the damage as the human with his compelling magics continues to put Theo’s powers to the test
He continues to smash but incorporates the icy spells now
Leaving a chilly path of devastation but not hitting the people
He wants to enjoy his unfrozen food
Then suddenly a frozen roar erupts as the monumental ursine starts to regain control
Despite that he decides to savor a few last micro meaty morsels since he was on a roll
The human controlling him for whatever reason seems to have fully surrendered the reins
The bear shrinks back to his typical yet still pretty big size at almost 10 feet
And he wonders among the wreckage what happened just now and will it happen again
