Fish Headed Cult

The **Fish Headed Cult** is a group of six fairies, created by mankind's desire to serve humanity's greater good.

## Principles

### Human's Desire and Human's Heart

"Fish" in Sino-culture often relates to wealth and happiness, all things mankind desire. The Fish Headed Cult was created based on those concept to serve mankind reaching those goals. Thus, their classification is "Fairy", the extension of the World Order or rather of Alaya.

The thing is, as those fairies are created by mankind, and thus, were assimilated into human's society and received some of mankind's nature in a society like family value and emotions. This contradicts the purpose of the Fish Headed Cult however. The reason why this cult was created was to serve mankind reaching the goal of happiness without caring about the cult happiness as on the way of reaching mankind's happiness, someone's own happiness must be sacrificed for the greater good of the majority and the cult is that sacrifice. Having such a contradicted purpose and personality, the cult is doomed to failure as they do not want to sacrifice themselves but without sacrificing themselves, they cannot serve mankind to reach the majority happiness.

### The Sephiroth

The Fish Headed Cult was created based on the position of Jesod on the Sephiroth Tree, the second lowest position of the tree, right above Malchuth, the position of mankind. The Fish Headed Cult was created with the purpose of serving mankind to happiness, to those who wish for power, reaching Keter, the highest position on the tree might be their goal. The position of Jesod is the position that receives all the path from the lower branches of the Sephiroth. Thus, it is known as the bridge that led mankind (Malchuth) to heaven (other branches of the Sephiroth Tree), the gateway of Sephiroth. The Fish Headed Cult's purpose is to open that path for mankind to reach the Sephiroth, to open the door of Jesod, their designated position.

### The Lifeline

Due to the course of the Fall of Witches, Succubus and Incubus grew in power, this and the fact that there is a literal demon inside the human's society, Alaya believed that mankind needed a powerful weapon to drive all of them out of the planet so that mankind can continue to be the Ruler of the Planet. To the collective mind of mankind, though many empathize with other species, not many agree to give up their privilege of winning the evolution war. To give up their position is to step back several steps from "happiness".

The Fish Headed Cult as the gateway of happiness is meant to be sacrificed in order to form the weapon, the weapon creating from mankind's happiness. As the sword's concept is the power flowing through out the Sephiroth tree, the Cult is meant to be used as a concentration point, the Jesod to release the power within the sword Lifeline.

## Background

The Fish Headed Cult is an important group of character appeared in Life Gallery. After the event of the Fall of Witches, they realized that there was a boy who has the potential of reaching the Sephiroth Keter as the opposite of the demon and they manipulated his family to sacrificed him. This caused the whole of the family to be killed with the exception of that demon.

The demon then threatened the cult to revive his family or faced his new found power and the cult agreed.

Although the cult successfully forged the sword of Lifeline, as they sacrificed the happiness of a certain group of human to achieve that (kill), they were cursed by Alaya. From then, all of the cult's descendents will have black mark of curse on their body which cause endless pain and kill them when they reach a certain age.
