Giant python self-TF done for a trade with ageaus. You can find his half HERE. =)
After trespassing into his forbidden sanctuary, I received the blessing of the ancient snake god and started undergoing some physical and behavioral changes, to better serve him as the new keeper of the temple's secrets. The vanishing of my limbs felt a bit strange at first, but also incredibly liberating.
Beware, intruders!
"Apophis (or Apep) was the egyptian god of evil forces and night. He was the personification of chaos, evil and darkness, his goal being to extinguish divine creations. His name meant 'giant' or 'giant snake'. Apophis was represented as a large snake or sometimes a turtle. Most of the time he was drawn defeated to symbolize good's triumph. Tales of Apophis's battles against Ra were elaborated during the New Kingdom. Since everyone can see that the sun is not attacked by a giant snake during the day, every day, storytellers said that Apophis must lie just below the horizon. This appropriately made him a part of the underworld. In some stories Apophis waited for Ra in a western mountain called Bakhu, where the sun set, and in others Apophis lurked just before dawn, in the Tenth region of the Night. The wide range of Apophis's possible location gained him the title World Encircler. It was thought that his terrifying roar would cause the underworld to rumble. Myths sometimes say that Apophis was trapped there, because he had been the previous chief god overthrown by Ra, or because he was evil and had been imprisoned. Ra was worshipped, and Apophis worshipped against. Ra's victory each night was thought to be ensured by the prayers of the Egyptian priests and worshipers at temples. The Egyptians practiced a number of rituals and superstitions that were thought to ward off Apophis, and aid Ra to continue his journey across the sky. As Apophis was thought to live in the underworld, he was sometimes thought of as an Eater of Souls. Thus the dead also needed protection, so they were sometimes buried with spells that could destroy Apophis."
