SCP-2417 is skilled at origami when paper is brought to it, and has 
decorated its containment chamber with its creations. It manipulates 
the paper by folding parts of its body into various manipulator 
appendages. The models it creates have no known anomalous 
properties, and it has been deemed safe to bring paper to SCP-2417 
as a reward for cooperation. 


SCP-2417 worships a deity it calls Rakmou-leusan, and claims to be 
part of an organization known as "The Church of the Second 
Hytoth".2 SCP-2417 claims that Rakmou-leusan requires a blood 
sacrifice each day in order to aid him. These rituals consist of 
SCP-2417 creating a small incision on the finger or palm of a human 
subject. SCP-2417 will then absorb the blood, which disappears 
after 20 seconds. The more days that pass without a sacrifice will 
cause increasing amounts of anxiety in SCP-2417, claiming that 


"Rakmou-leusan's end is coming." After roughly 5 days SCP-2417 
will begin hiding in a corner of the room, often turning itself into a 
cube or pyramid shape. When a human subject enters the chamber 
during this time SCP-2417 will attack the subject in an attempt at 
gaining blood. 


SCP-2417 was found in the apartment of Alison Killian, owner of an 
origami store in Toronto, Canada by a personal acquaintance on 
09/08/2016. Alison had died on a vacation in Germany from internal 
hemorrhaging a day prior to the discovery. The acquaintance called 
the police after reportedly being assaulted by "living origami." An 
undercover Foundation agent intercepted the call, and MTF- 
Upsilon-20 ("Hogtown Garrison") was dispatched to the location 
under the guise of police officers. 


SCP-2417 and various pieces of origami were discovered in the 
kitchen. These pieces included a set of stairs leading to the kitchen 
table and cupboards, seven four-armed humanoid figures, spires, 
and a small circular table. Other items found in the apartment 
include a jar of blood, stacks of kami paper, religious documents 
regarding the Church of the Second Hytoth, and origami similar in 
appearance to SCP-2417's preferred form. Based on the 
documents, it is believed that Alison Killian was a member of the 
Church of the Second Hytoth. An investigation into the existence 
and whereabouts of the church is currently underway. 


Addendum: 
+ Interview 2417-1 
[BEGIN LOG] 
Dr. Akio: Good morning, SCP-2417. 


SCP-2417: Greetings doctor. Are you here to 
give some more blood? What you have given 
will suffice, but more is always appreciated. 


Dr. Akio: No, I'm here to ask you some 
questions. 


SCP-2417: Oh, in that case go ahead. 


Dr. Akio: Before we begin, is there any name 
you would prefer to be called? | understand 
that for some being called SCP-2417 may be 
strange. 


SCP-2417: Call me Aimact Priest Alison Killian 
of the Church of the Second Hytoth. 


Dr. Akio: So... Alison, to start things off, who 
or what is Rakmou-leusan? 


SCP-2417: Oh, the grand Rakmou-leusan! 
Last of the great Koru-teusa, the seven holy 
warrior gods of the Second Hytoth, our world. 
While they fell, Rakmou-leusan lives on and 
defends the gates to our realm! 


Dr. Akio: The Koru-teusa? 


SCP-2417: The Holy Seven were once beings 
like you and I, who ascended from their mortal 
forms to combat forces from the Voru, the 
outside realm, that threatened reality. They 
fought for aeons to protect us and those that 
came before us, but have been lost or 
defeated one by one. The first sacrificed 
himself to save us all. The second and the 
third, killed by the jealousy and hatred of each 
other. The fifth forgotten. The sixth, killed in 
combat. The seventh ceased to exist. 
Rakmou-leusan, the fourth, is the sole 
defender of our realm. 


Dr. Akio: | see. So, why do you need to give 
Rakmou-leusan blood? 


SCP-2417: Ponder what occurs when a 
human loses blood. They become light 
headed, they become weak, they faint. When 


One ascends from mortal to god, you keep 
some part of your mortal form. The Koru-teusa 
kept their blood, yet it would leak. Their divine 
forms could not keep their mortal blood within 
them, yet they needed it like us. So they 
required those before us to give them blood, a 
requirement that was passed down to us. As 
time went by, they were forgotten, and without 
their blood they fell. Few know of Rakmou- 
leusan, and the ones who know are killed by 
the Church's enemies. 


Dr. Akio: | assume the rest of your church 
believes in the same thing. 


SCP-2417: What point is there in believing in 
what we know as the truth? 


Dr. Akio: Hmm. The church also performs 
rituals similar to yours, correct? 


SCP-2417: Yes, though while | can channel 
blood into Rakmou-leusan's form, the others 
require a stone with the holy mark of the Koru- 
teusa that will be bathed in the blood to 
transport it. 


Dr. Akio: Now, you said our world is the 
Second Hytoth. This means there was a first 
one, right? 


SCP-2417: Yes, a strange and alien world. A 
testing ground for universes to come. 


Dr. Akio: What happened to it? 


SCP-2417: It was devoured by a beast whose 
horrid name has been forgotten. 


Dr. Akio: Is this beast still around? 


SCP-2417: The truth has been lost to the 


aeons, though some say that the beast silently 
lurks in unseen corners of areas between 
realms. Perhaps one day it will return, as all 
things must hunger eventually. 


Dr. Akio: One last question. As the last of the 
Koru-teusa, what would happen if Rakmou- 
leusan died? 


SCP-2417: Imagine releasing poison into a 
pond full of fish. From where it was released it 
will spread throughout the pond, and it will kill 
all the life within it. The endless horrors that 
roam the Voru are that poison, and they would 
not hesitate to enter if given the chance. Our 
existence depends on Rakmou-leusan, and his 
depends on us. 


Dr. Akio: Well, thank you for the interview, 
Alison. 


SCP-2417: My pleasure. 
[END LOG] 
+ Interview 2417-2 
Dr. Akio: Greetings Alison. 
SCP-2417: Another interview, | presume? 
Dr. Akio: Correct. 


SCP-2417: Sure, but be sure to provide some 
blood afterwards. Rakmou-leusan needs 
strength to vanquish his enemies. 


Dr. Akio: Certainly. Now, can you tell us some 
information about your life? 


SCP-2417: In the beginning my mind was 
brought from the pools of unreality into 


existence, on August 3rd, 20- no, 19- it was on 
August 3rd. | seem to have forgotten the year, 

though that doesn't matter right now. My family 
did not bring me into the Church, for they knew 
not of Rakmou-leusan's glory. 


Dr. Akio: At what point did you join? 


SCP-2417: | was ignorant to the Church until 
the second year of college, when | met Diana 
Olivier, a roommate of mine. She was the one 
who taught me of the Church and the truth of 
the universe. | remained skeptical until | 
performed my first blood sacrifice. Diana took 
the knife to my left index finger and created a 
small cut. My blood dripped out onto a stone 
marked with the holy heptagon. When it made 
contact | saw... | felt... 


Dr. Akio: Well? 


SCP-2417: My apologies. | am still entranced 
by that moment. My mind was whisked away 
to some long forgotten corner of the universe. 
That's when | saw the Holy Fourth in all his 
glory, suspended above a hole in reality. 
Though my eyes perceived a mass of light and 
arches of darkness, my mind saw a knight in 
battered yet gleaming white armor. My mind 
became connected with the universe for a split 
second, and | knew that | had to learn more. 
Sadly this is where my memory greatly 
deteriorates, and much of my past becomes 
isolated from my mind. 


Dr. Akio: Hmm. Can you remember what you 
did immediately before we met you? 


SCP-2417: | lived in the home of a fellow Aima 
Priest, Alison- wait, her name was... No, that's 
not possible... But she... Her name isn't 


important. She was a nice person, yet she died 
before | could know her well. 


Dr. Akio: I'm sorry for your loss, Alison. 


SCP-2417: Do not feel sorry, for her spirit now 
resides in a better realm. Anyways after her 
death my old friend Hanae Chiyo came to visit, 
who seemed, disturbed. | know not why she 
acted the way she did, but she ran out of the 
apartment. You know very well what happens 
next. 


Dr. Akio: Well, if you are able to remember 
anything else be sure to let us know. 


SCP-2417: It will be a big discovery for the two 
of us. Before you leave, may | make a 
request? 


Dr. Akio: Anything that will improve your stay. 


SCP-2417: Can you contact the Church? | 
wish to know how they are doing. They've 
been going through tough times recently, and | 
need to make sure Rakmou-leusan continues 
to be well supplied. Contact them at 
[REDACTED]. 


Dr. Akio: I'll get right on it. 
[END LOG] 


NOTE: Following the interview an attempt at 
contacting the Church via the provided phone 
number was attempted. An automated 
message played, stating "The Church of the 
Second Hytoth is currently busy. Please call 
again at a later date. Praise the Fourth." 
Further attempts have had the same result. 
Currently SCP-2417 has not been informed of 


this. 


Addendum-2: On 19/08/2016 a letter arrived at the apartment 
building Alison Killian resided in, and was intercepted by undercover 
Foundation operatives. Inspection has revealed it to have no known 
anomalous properties. As of the time of writing SCP-2417 has not 
been shown the letter.

To Aimact Priest Alison Killian 


It is good to hear that the ritual worked! Like 
many of the old ritual instructions we have 
laying around, you can never be sure if the 
outcomes are what they say to be, or if there 
are any unintended side effects (such as that 
One time in Austria). I'm currently organizing 
various other priests to perform the same ritual 
once we are ready, though there are few 
people who can make origami as good as 
yours. 


However, | feel like we might want to change 
the plan. If we let the origami vessels out into 
the wild, who's to say that an enemy could 
trick them into divulging information? If they 
get destroyed (which is very likely) it would be 
a waste of time, effort and blood. Your idea 
also seems like it could get violent quickly, 
which would make us no better than the 
Daevas who tainted our reputation. Now, | 
know what I'm about to say can't be changed 
for the plan, but the idea of amnesiac vessels 
of myself and friends wandering around feels 
strange. It will probably take a while for some 
people to get used to that idea. 


Ultimately this would increase the Church's 
size and make it easier to gain and send 
blood, but these issues need to be sorted out 


first. Anyways, | hope you enjoy your trip in 
Germany! Tell your vessel (and any other 
ones) | said hello! 


Grand Aimact Priest Sean Glen-Marcas 


Addendum-3: On 25/08/2016, at approximately 2:51 PM, Dr. Akio 
entered a side room next to SCP-2417's chamber for a third 
interview. The rooms were separated by glass panel with small 
holes for sound to travel through. Upon entering the room SCP-2417 
folded itself to go through the holes and attacked Dr. Akio, cutting 
his jugular. This caused Akio to die from blood loss three minutes 
later. SCP-2417 then absorbed the blood, with the stains fading out 
after three hours. SCP-2417 claims that it had to do so to prevent 
the death of Rakmou-leusan. Containment procedures have been 
updated, and a reclassification of SCP-2417 to Euclid is pending. A 
full incident report can be seen in Incident Report 2417-A1. 


As of the recent discovery of a Church of the Second Hytoth 
meeting place in Vancouver, the existence of the Church has been 
confirmed and a full investigation is in progress. Due to this it has 
been deemed important to give SCP-2417 blood so further 
interviews are possible. As it is likely SCP-2417's concerns over the 
state of the Church contributed to the incident, SCP-2417 will be 
continually informed of the status of the Church. 


| could feel Rakmou-leusan dying. The unholy Voruteut 
surrounded him, inflicting wound upon wound, clawing at 
gashes in his armor. | could've waited for the Church to 
act, though | did not want to wait for what might not 
occur. So | took the doctor's life, and channeled his blood 
to Rakmou-leusan. | wish | did not have to perform such 
a horrible task, but without blood infinite lives would be 
lost. Do not worry, the doctor's spirit has gone to the 
Eitoth to compensate for his tragic death. Whether he 
stays or returns is up to him now. 


The following day SCP-2417 began writing on a piece of paper in its 
chamber, using one of its tendrils as a pen, with ink coming out of it. 
When questioned about the purpose of writing this, SCP-2417 said 
that it wanted to "spread the truth of the universe." Below is a 


transcription of what was written, translated from Ortothan. 
+ Document SCP-2417-2 


Rakmou-leusan stands at the gates of the 
Second Hytoth. 


His four arms wield his staffs of triumph, 
stained with the blood of invaders. 


For five aeons he has guarded this world, and 
will do so for aeons more. 


Him and his brethren fled the First Hytoth, and 
vowed to protect those that would follow. 


When there were seven he defeated the One 
of Dark's attempts at claiming the new world. 


When there six he quelled the rising of the 
broken creation and locked his city away. 


When there were four he saved Kornoct, 
watcher of the Eitoth, from Wonlaik the 
trickster's treachery. 


When there were three he ended the uprising 
of the First Gods. 


When there were two he slayed Wonlaik, who 
regrows to this day. 


When there were one he fended off the 
Voruteut's invasions. 


Rakmou-leusan did not give into the lost of the 
First Hytoth's harmonious screams. 


He did not bow to the god king of the star's 
voice. 


He did not budge or accept defeat like his 


If, however, the subject answers incorrectly, or does not answer 
within forty-five seconds, SCP-263-1 will say: "Time's up! So sorry," 
and the subject will immediately combust. The flames are always of 
both high temperature and intensity, and will fully enclose the 
subject within four seconds. All attempts to extinguish the fire up to 
this point have been unsuccessful. After forty-two seconds, the fire 
will disappear, along with the remains of the subject. After forty-two 
seconds have passed, SCP-263-1 will look out towards the place 
where the subject combusted and state that the failure is "a pity" and 
that "hopefully the next competitor will avoid the ash... and get away 
with the cash!" SCP-263 will then turn off on its own. 


If during the forty-five seconds, someone whispers to the subject, 
audibly speaks to the subject, the subject leaves the area directly in 
front of SCP-263, or the subject interacts with a computer greater 
than twenty-seven centimeters, SCP-263-1 will accuse the subject 
of cheating and the subject will combust in the same manner as 
described above. SCP-263 will then remark on the "dwindling ethics 
of today's people", and SCP-263 will switch itself off. Portable 
consumer electronic devices, such as mobile telephones, PDAs, and 
laptop computers smaller than twenty-seven centimeters do not 
cause the subject to combust, thus allowing the subject to find the 
information required to correctly answer the question within the 
provided time. 


If the subject correctly answers all three questions, SCP-263-1 will 
say, "Congratulations! You have won the cash! Here is your prize!." 
SCP-263 will then turn itself off and a prize will appear in front of the 
subject. 


The prizes given away by SCP-263 appear to have no discernible 
theme or pattern. So far, the following prizes have been given: 


¢ A marble figurine of a dragon, 5.3 cm long ; microscopic 
observation confirmed that micrometre-size details are 
present (value $48,237)
