Yoveth-Neviv and Bwuby-Oveth.
Champion of the Decay, and Champion of the Growth.
Also known as Yanaye Bell and Faseeha al-Rayes.
The wonderful lesbians that acted as Nwundy-Zunni's (or Zunni) mother and her "friend". After the failed attempt at saving children, he flew out and went to find the other champions, he felt like he failed and he needed their wisdom and experience, which led him to meet all other champions, all named from the Old Tongue of Nature, a language all of which are connected to nature can speak, write and read.
1: Champion of the Storm - Éki-Variz (Literal Translation: Great Wind): A really old man, he was surprisingly human and his power over winds was interesting, he could easily call lightning bolts from the sky and cause natural disasters with his winds, his human name is Erik Verzin.
2: Champion of the Flood - Éki-itik (Literal Translation: Great Filling): This champion was a young girl with long black hair, her name is Alessandra and she lives on Brazil, her power over water is strange since she can command it so easily that it makes it look easy, but on the month he spent with her learning how to do the same, he learned water really hard to shape anc control "Flow with it, not against it." She always said.
3: Champion of the Drought - Jox-Ohon (Literal Translation: Dry One): Jackson Oxford, a middle-aged man with a family: A wife and three kids, he wasn't so active on the champion business since his town in Oklahoma was the town where he met most of the Soul Parasites he saw! Soul Parasites being the spirits of animals that don't want to go, lingering in the world... Sometimes, if they find a weak enough host (mentally or physically), they'll possess the host and take control over their body. The only good thing Jackson Oxford taught him was how to exorcise thise spirits out of someone's body.
4: Champion of Summer - Venith-Veneth (Literal Translation: Brought by Bountiful): Vanessa Victoria Vermont is a old lady who lives in Venice, Italy- She was also a human with a deep connection to nature, her wisdom was a simple one: Live and grow, experience the warm of summer and the cold of winter, let it shape you and make you stronger than you already are. She also taught him how to make some really good Italian recipes and made him promise to visit her every year! He said he'd do so, and he kept his promise, visiting his grandmother every year!
5: Champion of Spring - Venith-Oveth (Literal Translation: Brought by Green): This one was... surprisingly interesting, the Champion with this title was a willow tree, a large willow tree in a small island in the middle of a lake surrounded by miles and miles of green... This plant was not sentient, but it had the deep connection to nature, and through it, Zunni learned how to feel plants around him, how they felt, their emotions.
6: Champion of Autumn - Thineverinthy-Oveth (Literal Translation: Taking the Green): He met Horas MacDhùnShléibhe in Scotland, the man did not speak Enlgish so he had to communicate with him through the Old Tongue, and the wisdom he received was... Strage to say the least. Autumn js when nature prepares itself for winter, with Horas he learned that preparing for the worst is sometimes natural, but after winter spring always comes along.
7: Champion of Winter - Ýsuœ-Bjůi (Literal Translation: White Silent Death): Katrine Bæk was a dangerous woman, literally! Her name in the Old Tongue spoke volumes of her work as an assasin for hire, she lived in the cold region of Russian and through her he learned the harshness of the winter: Death always comes for everyone, she was a Chimera too, but she could only transform into an artic fox (Even though Zunni knew that through effort, and a little bit of talent, Chimeras could transform into any animal)- She was cold, colder than the winter, and hardly taught him anything! The only thing she taught him was how to speak Russian and how to properly hide a body, and how to blackmail people too.
8: Champion of the Gloom - Yoveth-Neviv (Literal Translation: Dread Guardian): Yanaye Bell- She is the Champion of Gloom, of Decay, of Rot.
9: Champion of Many Shapes - Nwundy-Zunni (002, Mc) (Literal Translation: Of Many faces and bodies): That's him! Hey, he learned his name when he learned how to speak Old Tongue.
10: Champion of the Deep - Wyxiz-Fexiz (Literal Translation: The dark end): Wyxiz-Fexiz was a hard one to find, he had to go to the deep of the Marianas Trench just to get a glimpse of the monstrosity that was the Chimera known as Wyxiz-Fexiz! Long and serpentine, Nwundy-Zunni learned that he was the one that inspired the Leviathan in Christianity, the Serpent, and a few other myths such as Jörmungandr, the world serpent in Norse Mythology and Tama-Tama no Orochi in Japanese Mythology! Even Typhoon in Greek Mythology was inspired by this beast, since it could fuse other creates to its being. He learned wirh Wyxiz-Fexiz that age made them stronger, age made Chimeras stronger but also made then lazier, since Wyxiz-Fexiz spent the entire month sleeping- he was in hibernation after all.
But hey! At least Zunni now knows he can survive deep into the sea with tons of pressure on him!
11: Champion of the Heavens - Oahq-Hur (Literal Translation: From Above): This one was harder to find, since he was always in the sky, never touching the ground as he floated and flew around the world- Oah was a dragon that took the form of the wind itself, Oah was a cloud, a cloud dragon that taught him the first step to elementalization, the process in which a champion or chimera channels nature through their very being and become one with an element! It's reversible, thankfully. And apparently all the champions he met previously knew how to do it to some extent, and even he knows how to do it too! He can set himself on fire, apparently that's the first step to learn how to elementilize... Choose an element.
12: Champion of Bloom - Bwuby-Oveth (Literal Translation: To spread green): And at last but not least, Faseeha al-Rayes.
She and Yanaye are a couple! They are very much happy in their marriage at the eyes of nature, a binding that keeps their souls tethered to one another- which means once they die and reincarnate, they'll find each other again, fall in love again, be together again. It's been thousands of years since then, and they remember a lot of their lives together! They are very wise and the ones who taught him the most, since he was only taught the basics... Apparently there hasn't been a Champion of Many Shapes for thousands of years? It was strange, but they said that only the Majesty of Chimeras, the ruler of all Chimeras, could take that title as declared by nature.
So yeah.
Nwundy-Zunni... King of Chimeras, Champion of Many Shapes. Two titles- he had two titles! They taught him a few things, Yoveth-Neviv taught him about decay, about blooming and how it is a part of nature too! She showed him mushrooms and their psychedelic effects on the mind, she taught him about decay and how he could manifest it with nature and she taught him about death! But Bwuby-Oveth was the complete opposite, she taught him about life and its wonders, she taught him about how plants grew, what he could do with them, from teas to straight up potions! She taught him how to make a fucking poison panacea alongside a potion to clear someone of any nasty from the Outside.
"I still don't know what i did... And you promised to tell me what the fuck that was. Moms!" Zunni whined while his hand patted the head of the Chimera Dog, Bunnish, the little shit was a chaos to deal with once it got excited and wanted to play. "What you experienced, Zunni, was what is called... Rage of Nature." Yanaye sighed, her black hair being tied in a ponytail by Faseeha as she continued what her beloved wife said: "And what you did is called Banishment, and its quite hard to do... You need to channel a lot of energy to do that! You're quite a strong young man, aren't you sweetie?" He huffed, sitting down completely naked- what? He got used to being naked, and now he feels more comfortable naked than not! "Okay, cut the chase and tell me, did i feel so angry at One because he was an Outsider too?" Outsiders.
Being a Champion of Nature is being a protector of life, his job is to protect life and make spirits move on (Which is another thing Yanaye taught him, it's kinda similar to necromancy, but oh so different- He didn't want to be a devourer after all!) and protect the world from Outsiders, or as he called them, Trespassers. He spent the last few years dealing with some of them too, which was why he couldn't do much back at Hawkins once the Upside Down bullshit started- I mean, he sent a butterfly to help Will Byers to avoid the Demogorgon inside the Upside Down and also helped Jonathan to find him by sending his butterfly, but he had to deal with it still. "Quite possibly, dear... Banishment is highly damaging to Outsiders, normally they don't try to come back from whatever hole they came from after you banish them, since it leaves a scar on them... But this One you speak of, is a unique case." Yanaye smiled at him from the edge of the cliff their house stood on, surrounded by feathers from many of the birds that absolutely loved Zunni (Since he received the tirle of King of Chimeras, animals started to love him, all animals).
"He was born in this world, but with a connection to another one. That is strange... We'll have to speak to the elders to keep an eye out." Ah, the elders... They were from the Council of the Rot and the Council of the Bloom, two councils who learned a lot from both women! Generations after generations of people practicing their ways in the Himalayas, many Chimeras actually lived here! (And they actually called him 'Your Majesty' and bowed whenever they saw him, which he got used to pretty quickly) And he actually learned he could teach them many of the skills he had, like Scattering and taking the shape of other animals, he could teach them a lot of what he knew apparently. "Like, moms... I'll be going back to Hawkins, you know?" He sighed, he spent the longest here! Three years here, three long years in the Himalayas where there was a secret society of people who lived in harmony with nature... People would go mad at this crazy news. "We know." Faseeha al-Rayes nodded, her eyes looking to the sea of clouds below them, knowing this was coming; "Your home is in danger, we taught you everything we could. Now, go get rid of the infestation under your land."
He was 17, almost 18, his experience in life was not like the other Champions- his social skills were not as great, he was too blunt sometimes, he'd say whatever came to his mind without a care- His psychopathic tendencies would show whenever he saw someone hurting an innocent animal, he just wanted to transform into a swarm of thousands of rats and eat the person alive! He had to follow the wisdom that Grandma gave him, he wanted to experience more things! He hasn't fallen in love yet, he hasn't experienced school in this world, and he hasn't even kissed someone yet... "I love you both." he smiled at his two mothers, who were both ignoring him because he knew if they saw him leave, they'd cry- and if they cry, he would cry and wouldn't want to leave.
He flew away, in the wings of the wind.
