A large book rests on a desk just past the edge of the light-filled half of the attic. For those who read it, there is no title. Only a three fingered hand-print.
On the first page was a key. A list of names more like. Titan, Wolf, Fox, Rat, Twins, Rascal, Audrey. Although seemingly small, there is space for more names... And a mass of letters at the bottom of the page, resembling a pile. As if they fell.
Titan, first creation. Nocturnal hunter. "Of all my creations, I am most proud of what I achieved with this one. Before I mastered machinery, I mastered the understanding of magic. To think a spell could create my finest creation, an embodiment of the past, before light could grace this world. The Unknown locked within a vessel."
On the appropriate page, is a small list of abilities, followed by weaknesses. Titans' sketch in the book resembles Patch if he had another wing and another arm below the oversized one. A ten floor building is drawn next to the creature, It stands at the same height. 40 meters, 130 feet. The drawing only has the single eye that dots its face.
A small list of abilities are noted down below the image. One ability has a small statement written under it.
Portal creation, through cutting reality.
Passive space manipulation, stretching physical space to fit within any chamber.
Sound manipulation, seemingly unimportant. It can repeat phrases in voices of those it either slain or heard.
*Healing, A recent reveal. It picked up a failed experiment. Rat, and brought it back from deaths' door.
*Requires further research, this way of healing is not the same as other sources of restoration magic. Once it finished healing Rat, it collapsed into a pile, nearly crushing the failure it just saved. It is not yet clear how dangerous it is for the Titan to heal.
The weaknesses list is as follows;
Light. The word is underlined three times.
Weight, if something managed to damage its legs. It would not be able to even move under its own weight.
Smell, if wounded the Titan can be easily tracked by the sweet smell of its blood. Like freshly baked bread.
Past the Titans' page is the Wolf. A purple furred humanoid creature, its hands are large metallic hooks, its' face bears no eyes and just one twisted beak. Sharp ears stand atop its head. Lines are drawn around its open beak. As if it was exhaling or inhaling.
"The Titans' rider. Meant to keep it under control should the beast go on a rampage without being ordered to. Unlike the light its insides produce, it is not all that bright. Was repaired/replaced 53 times. The machinery that creates the light requires nothing from it. As durable as the core is, it will outlast the Wolf. Ensure it is not left alone to assume victory too soon."
A outline reveals a spherical-object in the wolfs' chest. Seemingly replacing both lungs and the heart with how large it is. If there ARE any organs in this creature.
"The core. A prison handcrafted to collect light, Wolf devours the energy of suns passively to feed the core, which fuels its body as grants the wolf its light. I theorize if it was dismantled, all the energy within would be released all at once. Without the vessel containing it. The core will simply bleed out the energy rather than lose it all. I wonder if the energy would fizzle out or go back to the stars. Would this energy even understand it was stolen?"
Below the description is a pros and cons list. For whatever reason. One feels as if something is rolling its eyes at the fact someone made this list.
"Pros, agile. Hooks apply good grappling and piercing, the light can blind almost everything. Have not seen what it can't blind. Able to produce hooks out of its body."
"Cons, fragile. One good strike will considerable slow it down. If it produces multiple hooks out of its body, in place of close-range defense/offense increasing. It will lose out on its agility."
"Note to self, reacquire the core if Wolf perishes. Must figure out how to find should the wolf fails in its duty."
"Keep away from Twins. Does not 'play well' with each other."
The next page reveals what is titled a "Fox"
The page is incomplete, but the sketch reveals a red creature of... either fur or fire. If the book is right, it is double Wolfs' height. 16ft
Its' body, though seemingly aflame. Appears malnourished. Bones are barely hidden beneath the fiery fur. Its fingers, or what amounts as fingers. Appear damaged, crushed one could say. Four fangs peak out of its slender muzzle. Its' arms droop from its' body, bearing multiple elbow joints just to not be dragged behind it.
It bears three eyes. Two normally located just above the nose, and one centered in the forehead. All three appear to be tracking you, the reader. No visible ears are seen. Its face appears to bear a frown, whether a permanent one or not is unclear.
"Although cowardly, this one proves the best at acquiring information. Able to see through any accurate drawing of itself. It can reliably keep watch on one location while being on the other-side of the world. Combative wise, its only strength is that it heals at an alarming rate. Despite what happens to its body, even when starving. It heals fast. Very, fast. Has a weak mental link to Wolf, Rat, and Rascal. Requires the two to be within 240 yards of each other. The only one of my creations that I made from living tissue. I am uncertain on if the original mind is still in control or if it is forced into the 'backseat' of the Fox. All tests fail to give me a straight answer."
The rest of the page was removed, the damage appears to be from a fire. Yet nothing else in the book is burnt.
The next few pages refuse to be seen, scrambling letters and images to ensure they can't be figured out. The reader feels as though the book is silently taunting them. Closing it, the handprint on the cover seems to have changed to a sharp toothed grin.
Just before shifting back into the three fingered handprint.
