“A-Are they still chasing us?!”
“Hold on, let me check!”
Nug opened the eyes on what could be considered his back.
The very first thing he saw was Eris galloping towards them with Lailah sitting across her back; snarling ferociously.
“Eep! They’re still coming!”
“Fuck, fuck, fuck!!”
The pair of boogers were as baffled as they were terrified.
It was hard to get chased by something in the nightmare realm. As one’s wants are held just out of reach, the act of chasing something is very difficult to achieve.
Most creatures here thrive on sneak attacks and happenstance.
As named horrors, the Twin Blasphemies were even more unused to being chased. There were only four beings in this world who did not fear their parents.
But Eris and Lailah weren’t exactly from this world.
“W-We gotta keep going! We can’t let them sick their nutheaded daughter on us!”
“Hey! Mira’s not a nuthead, you disgusting son of a bitch!” Lailah hissed.
“Oh, my god, Yeb, she said her name- SHE SAID HER NAME!”
Twin trails of urine were left in the wake of the creatures. Eris went through great pains to avoid getting splashed.
“Ugh, enough games!”
Lailah flung herself off of Eris’ back and cut off the brothers’ path.
They both wept as they let out individual yelps of horror.
“W-Wait, is this because of the kissing stuff?? W-We’re sorry about that. We shouldn’t have interrupted such an obviously tender moment and used it for our fantasies! You’re people, not sex objects!”
“Wait, I thought you said bipeds were only good for being sex obje-“
“Shut up if you don’t want to die, Nug!”
“T-They can’t kill us though..?!”
“Do you still believe that?? Why else would they be here if they hadn’t figured out a way!”
“Sweet gefilte fish, you’re right!”
The twins threw their disgusting, gelatinous bodies down in front of Lailah and begged with their behinds waving in the air.
“”PLEASE DON’T KILL US, SCALY DOMINATRIX-LADY!!””
“Shut up!” Lailah snapped.
“”Okay!””
“I said shut up!”
The twins literally ate their own mouths so that they wouldn’t speak again. Lailah was too exhausted for words.
Nug and Yeb, or better known as the Twin Blasphemies, are the most infamous children of the great old ones Yog-Sothoth and Ishnigarrab The Black Goat.
Once their own intersex entity, they split into two not long after their birth, becoming the male Nug and female Yeb.
They escaped the nightmare realm once before, and in that time, they each had their own children. Nug sired Cthulhu, and Yeb spawned another named horror called Tsathoggua.
Aside from spawning two of the largest thorns in Abaddon’s side to ever exist, the Twin Blasphemies don’t really have much else on their evil resume.
They aren’t dangerous like the others. Instead, they’re just… idiotic.
Despite their immense power, neither of them has intelligence greater than that of a sixth grader.
While they have a cult of dark disciples that worships them, they don’t really pay much attention to them- believing them to be broody and unfun.
Among all of the eldritch horrors, Nug and Yeb are the only ones who could arguably be let outside. They are relatively friendly and don’t go about causing massive amounts of casualties.
The only reason they aren’t free, once again, is because they are absolute fucking idiots.
Mira and her forces apprehended them a few years back after they found Nug and Yeb on a parallel Earth, attempting to resurrect a stegosaurus during the Dark Ages.
The reason why? They wanted to know if humans would find something useful to do with dinosaur shit like they did with everything else.
Mira cut them into so many pieces that even their own mother wouldn’t recognize them. Not because they resisted- but because they tried to have a ‘brown-ball fight’ with her.
She couldn’t get the smell out of her hair, so she ended up destroying her body and making an entirely new one.
Now, Mira hates them almost as much as they fear her. She probably won’t be all that thrilled to see them again.
And neither was Lailah. No matter how badly she needed them.
Eris giggled slightly at the twins’ nickname for Lailah. It was always amusing to her to hear everyone mischaracterize her based on her personality.
When the blasphemies heard giggling, they rolled across the ground to reach Eris and stared up at her with giant eyes.
Even without their mouths, their gazes were clearly begging.
“Don’t worry, we’re not going to kill you.” Eris dismissed.
The pair were so relieved they almost relieved themselves. ThisversionissourcedfromMV3L3MPYR.
“You are going to be our prisoners, though.”
A pink glass box appeared around the blasphemies.
“W-What? This isn’t fair! We already apologized for everything!” Nug cried.
Eris sighed. “This isn’t about you being lechers. We need you for something.”
“Oh…” Nug’s eyes darted down to the ground before a glimmer of hope shone within them. “Then, can we maybe watch you guys-“
“Eris, mute!” Lailah ordered.
Eris made their confinement soundproof.
After thinking for a moment, she also decided that it would be best to block their sight as well.
The moment that they could no longer see her, she rushed over to Lailah and wrapped her arms around her.
“We did it! We actually found them!”
Lailah forced a smile onto her face as she hugged her wife back.
“Yeah, I guess we did… I almost can’t believe it.”
Eris giggled. “All of those calculations and statistics didn’t account for a little bit of blind luck, did they?”
Lailah didn’t know why, but she found it harder to force herself to smile. Her stomach and her head felt like they were both in knots.
“Let’s contact the others. We need to find them as quickly as possible so that-“
“Wait, love…” Lailah placed her hands on Eris’ shoulders. “There’s… something I need to talk to you about.”
Eris tilted her head in concern. “What’s the matter?”
Lailah swallowed.
As she stared into those innocent eyes, she began to feel even worse about herself. They were the same ones she had always known.
She now felt bad for bringing up these dramatics in the first place.
“I think something is wrong with me…” Lailah brought a hand to her head. “Maybe the realm is just playing tricks on my mind.”
Eris smiled at her wife softly.
“I could help you figure out if they’re tricks or not… if you’re willing to share them with me?”
That smile only made Lailah’s heart hurt even more. She sat down on the ground with her arms wrapped around her own tail.
“It’s just… since we’ve come into this realm, there are so many things that haven’t made sense. I feel like I’m losing my grip on reality.”
“You’re trying to apply logic to a place that defies it, darling. It’s no wonder that you feel yourself going crazy.”
Lailah stared at her wife out of the corner of her eyes. Her lip quivered slightly before she bit it.
“Then… why does it seem like you have been the most knowledgeable ever since we’ve come here?”
Eris didn’t seem to understand the question. “What do you mean..?”
“I mean, you’ve been advising all of us since we got here, love. You were the first one to gain consciousness, and you showed us how to touch each other again… how could you know all of that?”
Eris’ eyes darted away. “I-I’m not sure. I just… woke up with understanding?”
“But you, out of all of us? Not our husband, or even Tatiana, who is literal madness..? Why were you the best at making sense out of this?”
“I-I don’t know, Lailah. What do you want from me…?”
Lailah pushed her hair out of her face as her heart started to beat faster. “I just… want to understand. Why were you so right about everything…? And why are you so positive that we’ll all be able to find each other quickly..?”
“Because we’re connected..!” Eris’ voice cracked. “Because I love you…!”
“And we love you. But somehow that just… doesn’t seem like it would be enough of an answer.”
Even though Eris currently had no eyes, Lailah could distinctly see a tear rolling down her left cheek.
She slowly stood up and brought her close.
Lifting her hand, she wiped the water away cleanly. Though Eris could see that tears had begun to form on her featureless face as well.
“T-There’s something else… something I didn’t know how to say..”
“Lailah, please…” Eris wept. “Don’t…”
“I-I thought it was just the realm messing with my memories, but everything else is untouched, and…”
“I’m begging you…”
“I can’t remember your life… I-In the first timeline, I know you were born from the elf king and queen, but they threw you away as an infant… I-I don’t know how you survived… I can’t remember anything from before you got caught by slavers, a-and you were an adult by then…”
The tears wouldn’t stop falling now. Eris couldn’t pull herself together, leading to her entire face getting soaked.
Lailah wasn’t much better.
This conversation was hurting them both far deeper than words could express.
“Why can’t I remember, Eris…?” Lailah sobbed. “Please tell me that I’m just going crazy, o-or that this realm is doing something to me a-and I’ll remember everything as soon as we get out, or something…!”
Eris clutched Lailah’s hands so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She dropped her gaze to the floor and covered her face with the silver curtains of her hair.
Her voice was so quiet that it could scarcely be heard over the wind. But Lailah didn’t miss a single solitary syllable.
“I…I can’t do that.”
“Why not?!”
“B-Because… I’m the reason you can’t remember. Nothing was ever there, or at least nothing that I wanted any of you to see…”
Lailah’s body was wracked with shakes. She felt like she was going to vomit.
She didn’t want to hear anymore. And yet, she felt like she didn’t have a choice.
“Why would you do that to us…? We shared everything with you..!”
“B-Because I’m not supposed to exist, Lailah! And if they ever found out about me, then-“
“They who!? Who are you talking about- who are you even supposed to be!?!”
Eris finally lifted her head. Lailah felt the breath leave her body.
She stared at a face that wasn’t like any she’d ever seen before. Soft caramel colored skin, with a shock of white, fluffy hair, no different from a cloud.
Her eyes were bright orange. Like their youngest daughter’s hair.
The longer Lailah looked into them, the more her head began to hurt.
She could see… so much. A myriad of constantly changing scenes, visions, and outcomes.
Eris took a series of shallow breaths to stop herself from crumbling.
“D-Do you… remember when we had that family meeting with Asherah…? When we talked about… the beings who sparked totality and are the reason for everything that we know and everything that we don’t…?”
Lailah’s lip quivered. Her eyes were as wide as the full moon. “N-No…”
Eris swallowed.
“I… I used to be Possibility.”
