Prologue: Displacement
'Where am I?' those are my first words when I'm awake.
I don't remember where am I and I don't remember who am I. Where did I came from? I still don't know.
Darkness was around me. I was so weak, so feeble, and so small. For the first time in my eternity, I needed help.
I couldn't speak, someone rob me of my beautiful voice. My sights are near useless and my hearing so dull. Only that I can move, sense and feel anything.
I don't remember so much, only muddles of memories. I just wander aimlessly, lost in identity, lost on who I am, what I am.
Humans... yes. I encountered some humans, and humans ignore me but when given attention they hated me for some reasons. They kick at me, throw stones at me, scorn me. I was so scared that I ran away somewhere, seeking comfort, seeking shelter, and to stop the pain.
Something moist and lonely...
Rivers... water... mud, ah, my first home ... something that made me comfortable without any consequences... my only home... but not for long. I hid most of the time, hiding upon creeks, logs, and shadows.
Away from living things, away from beasts, away from ... humans.
Then... a little girl... full of mysteries approached me. I felt no hostility from her, unlike the other humans I met. It was so weird... and interesting. Her little hands... oh, I remembered it... it was caring, then it was gone; my pain, my emptiness... and then hunger...she fed me with foods... a sustenance.
Why? Why little girl? I followed her. I wanted to know her, observe her, feel her, stay with her. She was a curious individual and I found a comfort just like the water on her.
She was so curious being, she was caring to all living things..., and yet a small, tiny thing is inside her heart. What is it? Why is it so ... tempting to taste it?
This little girl didn't bother about me following her but I became adapted at hiding anywhere from strangers-that-are-not-the-little-girl. Only if she was truly alone would I show in front of her. I'm still afraid of them, but not to little girl. In addition, when the little girl was so sure that she was alone too, she would call me, pet me, and feed me. She was my only companion and her only companion was I. I am hers but was she mine? I thoroughly realized that she was truly alone since the time I first encounter her. People around her are not friendly.
Some of them are hypocrite. Most of them are malicious. Few of them are shrewd. Majority of them are pretentious. I could feel it in my throat the taste of their wickedness...
Who would bother finding them, huh? No one.
This little girl has a knack for healing. She will heal people, animals and all living things. Me? Always behind her with watchful eye. I don't want to hurt her anymore.
Time passed like a river you see.
Little girl was a part of the church and I have no qualms about it but gossips, hatred and jealousy emanated from inside it. It was tantalizing... As usual, little girl will always heal the sick and tired while I hid nearby.
We rarely meet at that time. She knew I was always there, watching her, beneath the shadows, nooks and crannies. She would often leave some food for me, ready somewhere hidden where only I can locate them.
Yes, normal, boring foods given by her are an acquired taste. They always have a flavor and texture that only she can possess. My hunger was well defined but the little girl always made me satisfied even though it was mundane and sometimes in little amount. What are you little girl? What creature am I to think those things?
Does living things include devils as well? Maybe. The little girl healed a demon one day, whose wounds smell self-inflicted and his purpose to the darkest intent. His mask of pity hid a malicious desire.
Did I warned the little girl about this? Definitely yes, many times before it was too late. I am still weak even though I am growing and it was so disgusting.
Time passed like a sea this time. The church revoked her, abandoned her, excommunicated her, and branded her as a witch.
She was still innocent at the time and does not know how to hold on to grudge. Little girl was ignorant about her surrounding and make it looked as if life just goes on. Me? Ke-ke-ke... their horrible cheers are a music to my ears, their pretending voice soothed me... especially when they are appetizing.
Hypocrites... I dine on them like there is no tomorrow. Their disappearance merely affected the church. Ke-he-he, I realized that no one cared at all. There's no need to involve little girl on my guilty pleasures.
The darkness in her heart grew big and stout but she persist and live through. What a little girl!
Travel here and travel there. Her only company was I... a little creature who was twice shy, but hidden beneath was a terrifying monster, at least that's how I described myself. I hid in her shadows but anywhere the light can't reach is fine too as long as I am nearby the little girl. You see I am still afraid and disgusted for ay humans that are not little girl.
Slowly but surely, my strength rose.
Supernatural... fallen angels... that priest. I am sure that I am part of the Supernatural but still I am wary. Better, trust yourself than trust everyone else—except the little girl. The little girl and I arrived on this particular land, filled with supernatural creatures like me.
Fallen angels... mmmm... they smell like a banquet, a feast. It was so tempting but I held on. After all, they could still squish me like an insect.
Little girl needed my company. Then something happened.
This boy meets little girl.
Innocent boy's mind filled with naughty content and I laughed at it if I have my voice. Even though little girl was attracted to innocent boy, I still hid in darkness. The innocent boy might be a lustful individual but he's hiding something.
Something draconic, something demonic? Is it delicious? I hope so.
Church but at the same time not a church. It was abandoned, ruined and filled with fallens. What do the they want with little girl? I can sense their intention being very bad and dangerous. I wanted to warn the little girl but it wasn't enough.
Time flies like an ocean. It was so short but it was eventful that it left a gap within my memory. Little girl was within the hands of the fallen, fake priests, and mooks. One of the fallen was filled with envy, too much that it cannot be measured with my mouth. Meaningless humans following the orders of the fallen like a fool. They are zealots and zealots means a bad thing.
Little girl was bound to the chains, her soul slowly slipping away. It was a slow progress but a terrifying one. I wanted to help little girl but my strength wasn't enough. Fallens will not noticed if I gobble a few of their mooks, the fake ones, right? But I knew it will not suffice to save little girl.
I gain moderate strength through stealth consuming but it wasn't enough. I can't overcome at least one fallen with my current strength alone.
Little girl was treated as a prisoner. If the fallens gets suspicious, I will cease my activity. I have no choice or I will be perished for nothing. Sacrifice needed something worth but I still couldn't see what that could achieve for me.
The ritual... yes, that forbidden ritual. I don't know any details behind it but I deduce that it is used to extract her soul. Her howls are painful but I needed to resist.
They needed to stop before it was too late. Little girl can't hold on anymore. Her soul is ripping away. My tastes are becoming sensitive. I can't bear to witness it anymore.
I needed a distraction, a miracle.
Distractions. The innocent kid who smelt of dragons and demons brought a ragtag group, who are also demonic in nature. I never cared where they aligned as I wasted no time. I need to take advantage of the current situation. Now is the time to recover her. Luckily, I have enough strength to carry her.
It was too late. She was disappearing. Her soul was already broken apart. She was still alive but not for long.
I will not allow it. She is not allowed to die in vain.
The old church was falling, flames sprouting everywhere. I dragged her poor body away, semi-scorched but her heart still beats steadily, ever slowly.
I need to act fast.
Somewhere safe.
Somewhere called home.
I dived into the abyss with her.
Everything was pitch black.
Now I understood who I am. What I am.
I laughed at the abyss and the abyss laughed back. As a result, it gave me what was truly belonged to me, my past memories, for it was amused.
I am not of this world. I have no dominion over this strange planet, thus the reason I was so weak at the first place. My place called Runeterra is where I truly born and also where I supposedly belong. The magic was vast as Runeterra but it did not acknowledge as what my previous world did for I was an alien, a foreigner. It was terrifying but interesting this time.
There, I was called the River King.
I walked proudly as Old Two Coats.
I stalked the town as the The Great Waddler.
I am the Devil itself.
My last incarnation was named Tahm Kench... but I was truly it? I felt conflicted upon this identity. Yes, I am still the avatar of the greed and its hunger qualities but I feel no longer the same.
No time think, Time is a river, you can't go back once you go on.
I searched the place with my small eyes and then I spotted her. There she is laying, vulnerable, alive but not for long. She was wearing a white dress, unlike her nun uniform that was burned and ripped apart. It is not an easy choice but I will persist.
"Little lass, little lass..."
My charismatic voice worked its magic because the girl wakes up from it peaceful slumber. I was so sorry that I disturb her rest but I reckon I saw her like a dead girl and that terrifies me.
She sees me, not a bit intimidated by my monstrous body and spoke using her angelic voice.
"Tammy?" she said. I just realized that this is what she called to me and it was amusing that it was closer to my supposed name. The name she bestowed to me was a blessing that I could acknowledge. Even though I drastically changed from that tiny thing to this humongous, talking catfish serves a reason why she was closer to me than everyone else.
What a little girl!
"Do you know why you are here?" I questioned her.
For a minute she was thinking of something before she eventually nod with traces of sadness on her face.
"I died." She honestly answered to the point but I could pinpoint the doubt between her teeth. In other words, she hoped she wasn't dead yet although she was correct partially, I deny at her answer.
"No, no, at least not yet." I vehemently insisted my claim.
"Where am I?" The little girl looked around, darkness all around, cold ground beneath us and nothing to looked at.
"In the abyss. My territory."
"Is this heaven... or not?" The little girl hypothesize. I considered this empty field a heaven, a paradise for me but not for her, at least not for long.
"Hush, little child ... just like I've said earlier, you are not dead yet..."
"..."
"You are at least dying but I will not allow you to die. I wanted you to live."
"Is it not my time to rest?"
I swayed my gray, hideous, bulkhead.
"Child, you might be ready to be taken to the heaven but you're heart says not yet please. So I obeyed your heart and that's why you're here." I said graciously, winking at her that says 'I do not lie'.
"But I –"
If she were a different persons, I could have gobbled up the person and hasten the deal, but she's a unique one so I've got to hold on to my patience. My patience do not run thin to little girl.
"I prevented your fate but not for long... you've earned a wish, young girl."
"Did I? But I'm just an ordinary nun."
No traces of fear in her tongue.
Denial. A pinnacle of ... something?
It should be major in negative aspect but the girl was so meek and she basically undervalued herself.
KE-HA-HA-HA-HA. I laughed heartily for this girl was a really complicated one but she has no time left, she needed to decide right now. I've grown steadily just enough for her only wish to be fulfilled, no matter how foolish it will be, as long as she's content then I will be. Should not it be enough then I shall offer my life... hmmph. I don't care now.
This should remind that I am not the same back-stabbing, silver tongue Tahm Kench from Runeterra.
"Tell me what do you desire, little girl."
"I—but... why me?" Hesitation filled her voice. She still didn't see herself that she was worthy of it. It was a tad better than she wouldn't believe that I could make her wish come true, which I can and will take everything to do.
I sneered at her false beliefs.
"Do you need to answer that? You and me should know the reason why."
"I don't think I don't deserve—"
"Why do you persist, little girl? You take care of me when I am feeble and weak; you gave me the only thing that lacks within me: comfort and love. I might be unforgiving to the humans but the one you heal, the one you helped unconditionally, seemed to think you deserved something greater and here I am."
"I-I see."
"You're uncomforted by the revelation. The only thing you need is to trust my words and ... little 'ol me. Little girl, you're heart so big and stout and I think you need to be selfish for a while."
Little just gulped upon my words, she's really conflicted at this moment so I nudged her by whispering softly at her hears.
"Don't you want to see him?" I didn't fail to accentuate the last words and it should be a general term but little girl really thought of 'him'.
"I think I understand, Tammy-chan. I will make my wish."
"And so the die has been cast. Speak, little girl, uncle Tammy is waiting for your wish..."
Little girl opened her mouth and started speaking to which I am the one who can truly understand. She deserved privacy after all.
...
...
...
Indeed, I have heard every words that she wished for and it was pretty genuine and does not count as a selfish one that I wanted for her but at least she was becoming decisive for this moment. It was also a bit, if I were to admit... strange; however, my previous life has seen these wacky desires that are more volatile and crazy and also, I am not a judgemental fish.
The oblivion is coming and the little girl's time is eclipsing. I shall not waste time no more.
Very well, your wish is my command as typical genie ... but every wish hides a twisted desire...
The first thing I've heard was the sound of the gushing river.
I opened my eyes and lo, behold, my waist was half-sank down the water and I am in the middle of the river.
I moved my skinny arms, back and forth, making splashing noises along the water. I caressed my wet hair; it was so very long and at the ends of it was tainted with green like the seaweeds. It is as if my hair was dipped in the quality paint. I cupped my face as I felt the soft feature of my face, my cheeks, my nose, my mouth and my chin.
I looked down and I realized that I am naked all of the time. Nevertheless, I ignored my state of undress as I was still in the state of pure happiness.
The water in front of me stilled amidst the raging water. I never thought with my small stature that I wasn't even affected by the strong current of the river. It is as if the river bends to my will.
I felt like I'm home already.
The stilled water in front of me becomes clearer and clearer until it sheened like a mirror. I looked in front of me, and an image of a little girl stared back at me, smiling contently.
Very pale skin but healthy nevertheless, heterochromatic eyes glaring back at me; one was a lively, greenish marble while the other one was dead black ash.
I smiled, and then followed by a chuckle...
Then I sneered... my facial features are so very funny.
I giggled. Never I felt so alive and free ... and oh, Twilight Healing was still in my possession; still recognized that I am the worthy wielder of it.
I smirked.
Tahm Kench was no more but a memory but here I am, Asia Argento... look and be in awe, I am no longer the Holy Priestess, nor the innocent girl that was a prey to the wicked...
... but the Monstrous Siren before your eyes. Feast, humble mortals!
I laughed as if there's no more tomorrow and the woods trembled before my presence and the river bowed down to me.
This is not my Runeterra no more... I am no longer bound by the rules and by the zealots... and no longer shackled by the harsh rules of the influentials. Freedom was in my grasped already.
World! You will remember my presence.
