Day 20: Metachimera (Suggestion+Sea Creature)

(So my initial first roll was Suggestion and Shitty Cryptid but when I got the suggestion of “Biblically Accurate Angel” I couldn’t find a way to make Shitty Cryptid fit. Since I interpret that as a funny cryptid and other than the Nightcrawler all I could think of was the cyborg monkeys from California. So I rerolled and got Sea Creature instead. Then I figured I might as well go back and flesh out some history stuff. As for the format, I felt doing a book excerpt would be fun) Although the life of Tidus post-transformation can be described as anything but enigmatic, there is one moment in his history that has frustratingly gone unrecorded and all details are lost to time. That would of course be that first encounter with the angel post-transformation. The first few days post-transformation have been documented as turbulent ones for the poor newly crowned Leviathan. The situation was completely unprecedented and even now nothing too comparable has happened since barring the death of Reaper. Which is ironic considering the part he played in this mess. But once the dust was settled and the realizations had set in, one question still remained: what to do about the angels? This event completely messed with the supposed divine prophecy now that the sea beast that was supposed to be destroyed at the end of the world was now stuck in a coma with only a fraction of her power left in the hands of a very unlucky Freezie. To have verifiable proof that the supposed divine plan could be messed with in any way was intensely gratifying to us demons. So it was decided to basically gloat to the angels about how we had supplanted their power (despite the event being a complete accident). But Tidus had other plans. After a while of planning and self-aggrandizing, the day came. Tidus and a collection of other demons gathered on the beach waiting for the moment an angel would come down and witness their triumph. A ball of light came down from the heavens, but it did not come close. It lingered over the horizon, almost beckoning the demons gathered to come closer. Of course, one thing remains true across all of demonic history. We will always be terrified of confronting angels. Yet Tidus, despite all his stress and fear swam all the way out to that light. It was said that he and whoever lurked in the light talked for only a few hours. No one quite knows what was said as Tidus refused to discuss afterwards and no one else there dared to come closer. We still do not even know which angel it was that came down. Some argue that it was a random angel, others say they were of great importance like Micheal. Personally, I subscribe to the theory of that angel being a messenger, akin to a human encounter with one. What is known is that somehow, Tidus managed to convince the angel to let him stay on Earth in order to tame the growing threat of water based monsters in the oceans, who we now classify as the first recorded belief formed monsters in history. And so Leviathans have been the only kind of demon tolerated by angels ever since. Of course, ignoring Razorfin but that is for a later chapter. (Excerpt from Leviathans: A History. From She-Monster of the Seas to Kings of the Waters.)

Here’s a suggestion for you, what about combining a dog and a centipede?
