“Leviathan? He is like none of us, but at the same time, like all of us…”
“Immensely powerful, terrifying to behold, fiery breath, and completely and utterly alone because of it.”
Now, tell me again how your god is perfect.”
Artist’s Note: The Little One (that is his name now, until he reveals another moniker) is referring to something that I mentioned about three years ago. For those of you who don’t like clicking links, here it is; I even made special quotes, because I’m quoting myself:
First off, just say the name. Leviathan. Leh-VIE-Uh-Thann. Doesn’t if just roll off the tongue? It’s not quite “Mufasa,” but it’s a powerful name, suiting a creature so potent that God had to kill its mate so they would not breed and wreck the ecosystem.
From Wikipedia:
Creation of Leviathan
According to most ancient Jewish midrash, the Leviathan was created on the fifth day (Yalkut, Gen. 12). Originally God produced a male and a female leviathan, but lest in multiplying the species should destroy the world, He slew the female, reserving her flesh for the banquet that will be given to the righteous on the advent of the Messiah (B. B. 74b).
