What are some stories about the glowbug? Memorable glowbug stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
In Britain in 541 there was a Village, the villagers, while not being able to read or write, were happy, until one day, the village’s governor was found dead, with nearly everything eaten off of him, except for some stray pieces. The villages were disgusted, but also worried, what ate him? It turns out a pair of troodons had been stalking the village But horrible things kept happening. At a trial, the village had found one man had been feeding poisoned drinks to people
The jury yelled:Homicida! (Latin for you murderer)
The man replied:In uno e multis (im one out of many)
But a villager discovered why all these things happened, dream demons flew in and out of minds, giving horrible dreams about things one would only speak about in hell. These dreams would addle their minds and corrupt their thoughts. The dream demons were small, with wings like that of a bat, and skulls, skulls for heads, their bodies were those of monkeys, tail and all, but with scales instead of fur, and, they could turn invisible, however, their weakness was light, light killed them instantly. So a villager tricked the demons into going near a torch, however the demons realized the plot and held his head back, forced his mouth open, and poured poison in his mouth.
Ok Lava you have rights to use my demons and the village, so does apex, because it’d be fun to see the dream demons in Swampling tales or Stalker.
-Manticore
While the manticore was growing up in Babylonia, in Eastern Asia a merchant from the Shang Dynasty needed to head northeast, he went to Manchuria, little did he know, it would be the last place he ever went. He went to a cave to spend the night, nomads from the steppe would occasionally show up, if he could trade with them, he might make enough money.
But in the cave he heard something mortifying, he heard tearing and ripping. He looked and he saw a horrifying creature. It immediately devoured him, no one knows what the creature was, the nomads found his body days later, they saw the creature, but it had driven them max with fear. To this day, some say it was a dinosaur, some say it was a ghost, but one thing everyone agrees on is the creature stalks Asia looking for prey, as nothing more than a shadow
I’m posting this myth in glow bug, I’ll give rights to creatures and places to those who I see fit, just ask, I’ll give this one to lava because I wanna see how he interprets the monster that I never described
-Manticore
Realized I put this in the wrong section (derp) so I’m putting it here
I saw a post about Ark myths, and I may have misinterpreted it but it gave me this idea
Many Many years ago, deep in Babylonia a young lion cub lived, in a cave, one day it found food in a tree, but alas couldn’t get there. Over time the creature grew wings, so it could avoid fighting and could get high up food.
It also developed horns and bat ears for fighting and better hearing respectively. It developed a scorpion’s tail to poison enemies into submission. At first the creature used its powers for good, but one day another lion, jealous of the creature’s good fortune, attacked the lion cub. The Cub roared with steely resolve: روزی که به من حمله کردی بدگویی! خواهی دید! همه خواهید دید!
And to this day hatred has grown in the cub, now an adult lion, it now hates nearly everything,however, his fascination with string brings him back to a more innocent time, and string is the best, and only way to escape the vicious beast we now know, as the Manticore.
Ok 3 notes on this story
A:The language the manticore spoke was Farsi (often called Persian) and it said:You'll rue the day you attacked me! You'll see! You'll all see!
B:Even though the story took place in Babylonia I couldn’t find a good Akkadian (the main language spoken in Babylonia) dictionary, and even though it’s part of Iraq I couldn’t use any of the languages spoken in Iraq today because they didn’t exist back then.
C:The Manticore also speaks Farsi because manticores are from Persian (modern day Iran) mythology.
