The Bell Tower: that's what me and Nelly have called out for years now. It's the self-building fortress operated by drones. It spans cities, as it was intended as a point of repopulation before the aging regent was released into the air. Since then, it's merely a ghost city....

It's unlike anything from the modern time.

He he he... You always could remember. Just keep remembering, it makes you different from the others.."

"Quiet you damn serpent!"

"Leviathan is speaking to you again.... Isn't it?"... Nelly looks at my mouth, her eyes still... Her expression dull.

but you really know her feelings don't you. It's terror... Pure hated of what you are!

"Hatred of what you are demon!" I'm slipping again. I feel my body crushing itself in attempt to undergo there metamorphosis one again...

The change into the leviathan, the diety creature associates with the old Christian belief of envy. I remember it so painfully clear... My pregnancy, cut short by the squall.... I was asleep for so long. But my body never adjusted right. Then the regent was released, completely halting my child's birth...

That just means we need to wait for the inhibitor... And then I can be with my child.

Click, click, click.

Fuck it. No cold fusion today.

Levy's appointment is soon. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't abandon my offers this far into my research. I remember the first time Levy walked into my domain. Grieving over the disappearance of her family. I knew right then was the link in my study I was missing.

She displayed all the normal capabilities of basic human comprehension and capability. However several things were pleasantly varieted from other humans.

First was her skin. Practically impenetrable, bulletproof, fireproof, and inpermiable. Her body secreted no fluid or matter of any kind, which is typical minding the aging regent in the air. What's more was her ability to heal. Her cells resisted the regent, but beyond that even if you could injur her, her cells would most literally replace themselves instantly. Therefore she doesn't eat.

The next interesting feature is the mass of flesh that replaced the presenceof  her unborn child. I have yet to seen signs of pregnancy in any living being since post-squall evaluation of humanity. What's even stranger is the affection she displays for it and the bond she feels with it. It pulls energy into and out from Levy's body, whilst it verves and shifts form. At first I could not begin to comprehend what I witnessed, but later my logbook helped provide insight. The sights of the squall resembled many of what the end of the world would be for many different pantheons of religion. Digging deeper, I recall many stories of a beast called the Leviathan, a demon serpent that belongs to the representation of the Christian seven deadly sins. It's used to represent jealousy and covetous desire. The story was vague as very little literature remained from the squall.

Long study has shown that it can be invoked by symbolism. Typically by manifesting itself through Levy's envy.

... I'd almost be jealous myself had it not been for Zher... Without him I may have never met Belaphegor.

"Levy, something's different with Bell's Tower. Has it gotten bigger?"

"Of course, Bell has drones that constantly build. It can only get bigger even if she dies." Terrifying to think, even if she did her influence would simply remain on the earth for an indefinite period of time.

Regardless, she has been the only thing that keeps me together these days. Before Jack, before Nelly, I had her. She pulled me in and let me stay with her under the condition that she can study me. I didn't know what that entailed at the tone but I was willing to do anything for a little closure.
