Your support makes Blue Moon possible (Patreon)Monsters have always lingered on the edge of humanity. Wether in stories and myths, horror movies or the urban legends and rumours told around campfires. There have been times, hundreds of years ago when the whole of humanity accepted the presence of monsters, when leviathans and dragons and other unspeakable beings roamed this earth and where commonplace. But then came the time of humanity, with torch and spear to push back the beasts with steel and gunpowder and a myriad of inventions. The time of the monsters has long since passed, buried under cities of concrete and glass and as they days became years, the years became decade and the decades became centuries, they were slowly forgotten. The reign of monsters has fallen from our world into the books of myth and legend. But as with all things, the cycle soon comes around.
It began with a stirring in the corners of the world, in the darkest caves and the deepest oceans. People began to disappear. Archaeologists in Egypt, gone without a trace along with their newfound ruins. Mountain climbers in Europe, gone in a flash of fire after discovering an ancient cave. Deep sea explorers, never heard from again after frantic last messages. It was the beginning of an awakening and strange occurrences in the world of mankind, a world of fact and science. Soon though, the rumours and reports began to spread, to nearly every country and city in the world. People attacked by strange animals, more people never seen again. And that was just the beginning.
One particular monster of legend dwelled underneath a city of humans, roughly the size of a city block. But this was an old creature, one that remembered a time when it was much larger and stronger, where it roamed the world as it pleased with enough power to level the city it now hid under. Now however, the great leviathan leeched off of the humans like a parasite after centuries of hibernation. It could sense the change that was coming and had been preparing, snatching human after human to feed it's hunger and spread it's offspring. It had taken a long time but it had finally figured out that humans, of all the mammals on this planet, were the best incubators for it's eggs. And so it was that, with the sound of music in the city and alcohol flowing the creature lay in wait, it's feelers and tendrils spread out in the various dark corners and alleyways around it, waiting for it's prey.
