The Escaped Vessel

What is it to be a monster?

What is it to be human?

Is it not possible to be both, or neither at all?

Malik finds himself awakened. Full of jumbled memories that don’t quite fit. In a body that he does not recognize.

While he also finds himself next to someone that he can only call a goddess, he begins to learn. Guided by kind hands. He tried his best to assemble who he is from his own mind.

But there are cracks.

Damage caused by the weak bonds between body, soul, and divinity threaten to tear him apart in all that he is.

That’s besides the gods.

Their hidden battle goes unspoken but to their closest followers. The followers who are told that a great danger approaches. One that’s hunting for the vessel that was lost.

Should he ally with these other god's vessels? Should he even fight the cultists after his body?

This brings Malik to a choice.

Accept the monstrous body he now resides in and grow stronger.

Reject that body and lose his mind.

Or completely give in and allow for his fate to be sealed along with his soul decimated by the eldritch god of the unknown.

will he make this body his and everything that comes with it?
