A Lost Memory: Alitheia

Episode 20: King of Skulls

Kacey round up the residents one night and told them a story she'd read in the journal. They met in Colchester's room, bare and not much could be said about it other than the essentials of a bed and cupboards. She then begins to relay the story about what events had occurred on Earth, the beginning of time, during the period of Adam and Eve.

"But like didn't the world evolve from monkeys or something," Fitz queries and Akira nods in agreement.

Jiro agrees with Eliza when she says, "I think it started with Adam and Eve and all the animals created by God."

A man by the name of Enoch is first shown what transpired on Earth following Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Angels known as the Watchers were given the task of monitoring human activity on Earth until a day came when two hundred of them made the decision to come down and marry human women. In addition to taking human spouses, they also taught men how to create swords, shields, taught them about astrology and constellations, and eyelid beautification.

"We learnt makeup from fallen angels," Fitz puzzled.

"I mean they were angels weren't they extremely good looking and stuff why'd they bother with us mere mortals," Fitz questions and Kacey shoots both of them a nasty look though later adds a cheeky grin.

"Sorry, go on," she chuckles.

Their offspring were great giants that plagued the Earth and whose appetite were humans.

"Okay so everyone knows this part, God sent a flood to wipe out mankind and the giants," Kacey ends her storytelling and Akira offers to get some snacks.

...

"I didn't sign up for this!" Akira cries out, carrying an empty white plastic bag, it catches the wind like an air balloon as he bolts down the stairs and while being chased by a humanoid creature that followed closely behind. The creature hooked its claws into his back pocket of his blue jeans he tosses the plastic bag over its head and knocks it against the wall and this momentarily stunned it.

He suddenly bursts through the double doors of the kitchen; he rounds the aisle and heads straight for cupboards while shoving in various snacks and drinks. The creature creeps into the kitchen on all fours; its pupils coloured in completely black with no sight of the whites of its eyes, it was naked, pale frail skin with no genitals and not a single hair on its head or body.

Akira sees the creature's movements and quietly makes his way to the double doors.

"Oh, come on!" he yells as the creature spots him and chases him up the stairs.

"What happened? Why are you out of breathe?" Mandisa asks him while he breathes heavily with his back leaning against the closed door.

"Some weird looking animal or person just attacked me," he tells them and drops the bag of snacks.

"Did you get Pocky?" Jiro asks him and Akira grills him on why that wasn't important right now.

"I think it's a Tangata Devva," Kacey informs while paging through the journal.

"Don't we know of that already?" Eliza asks and she tells her that that was the Agma Devva.

"What's the difference?"

"The Agma Devva are evil spiritual beings or demons and Tangata Devva are humans who turned into evil beings. They can seem human at first but their behavior says otherwise," Mandisa explains to them.

"True that, I thought I was being chased by a naked old man," Akira says with a nervous laugh.

"How do we get rid of this thing?" he asks and Gherro appears before them.
