Subject: Hyperion Cult
The first Sebitti allegedly came from the Hauntaurskald. A terrifying imp-like creature with a particularly nasty blood lust. It caused such a stir that the Ozhogs were called in to contain it within their Freezer. The second Sebitti, an imp in the shape of a golden harp, was tucked away in the gaudiest strongbox known to man or demon in the Infernus. The third Sebitti, an imp frozen in stone, was affixed to the Black-Vein vampires’ manor in the outskirts of the Necropolis. The fourth Sebitti, an enormous imp in the shape of a baobab, stood out in the wretched Buzzing Plains of the Esterskald. The fifth Sebitti, a pale imp with the power to alter memories, was hidden away in the Crags of Paramnesia in the Morningstar.
So far, there has been one Sebitti per Plane of the Otherside. This means we have only two Planes left to search: the Mayda and the Ouroboros. Between the two, our next stop should be rather obvious. I’ll take a bit of endless water to a lightless timeless snake pit any day. Thankfully, we already know Capgras and Twain are able to enter the Ouroboros without Belphegor being around. Still, the more urgent of the remaining Sebitti is the one Fenrir could easily reach. So, in that spirit, we are headed to the Mayda.
I’ve already scouted ahead a bit with the help of Dover, and it would appear that the Sun of Babylon is most likely pointing toward the deepest, darkest ditch of the endless sea—the Locker, a prison as large as a city and home to the vilest of Mayda’s demons and cryptids. Like the other Planes, it is hard to say how that region has been fairing since Leviathan’s death. Thankfully, the Locker itself isn’t entirely underwater. Though, whether or not the sixth Sebitti is submerged or not remains to be seen.
