If one were to translate those murmurs into human tongue, it would spell out -
Behemoth!
An entity of legends, spoken of in ancient myths, the Behemoth!
With the revelation of this creature's name, a chilling thought materialized in Daniel's mind.
Everything Pierce had said was true!
Humans weren't born of the Earth; they originally hailed from the Abyssal Realm.
Much like those maggot monsters, they were merely fodder in the legends for greater beasts.
Perhaps, in an attempt to escape such a grim fate, humanity had risen in rebellion.
But faced with overwhelming power, they were brutally suppressed.
Ultimately, they were banished above, to Earth.
And those mighty beings of the Abyssal Realm? They became the fabled creatures in human tales.
Perhaps there's another narrative.
After all, Pierce was one amongst the monsters, and his words couldn't be wholly trusted.
Daniel's thoughts raced incessantly.
