And to compliment his unofficial “boyfriend”, here is an updated/official reference of Zepperaith cause the old one wasn’t really one anyways.

I am super curious abt what happened to monolith after he became the host

So uruhhhmn what happened there

Monolith likely took a lot of convincing from Zepperaith's words; in a sense, he would be giving up his own body so his god could stay in the waking world, and his tribe would likely be mostly against this.

But Monolith had become devoted; he could see the good in Zepperaith even if others could not.

What did become of Monolith, though?

Well, it happens to all hosts of the one true god of dreams; they enter the world of Zepperaith, the dream realm, no longer able to see, hear, or witness anything through his own eyes with his own body.

But within the dream realm, his every whim would be catered to too, and of course Zepperaith could talk to Monolith anytime he wanted. Being very good at multitasking, it's very likely Zepperaith gave him a window into reality, allowing him to see everything Zepperaith now sees.

Zepperaith, with his first host, would likely take a few suggestions from him but ultimately do his own will. They likely saw the entire world together at each other's sides in a sense, always returning to the tribe at night.

But Zepperaith being a lot more immature and rude as he was, well, he made a lot of mistakes, and that would make the tribe unhappy, and that would pile up, and up until …

That faithful day.

While Sonic had a similar experience ending up in the dream realm, since he was an unwilling host, he was never given a window into the waking world, and Zepperaith never paid him any visits, seeing him as nothing more than a vessel to complete his will and to bring the world to what The Dreamer thought was 'complete peace and harmony' 

Their relationship as god and host was nothing like Zepperaith and Monoliths. All I can really expand upon is that the dreamer didn't want to get close to Sonic because, deep down, he knew he'd lose him too, and Sonic reminded him too much of himself; that's why he was chosen as the host after all.

It was the first and most obvious choice.

And due to his treatment of Sonic, well, that might be why he would willingly choose to sleep if he did realize what he was doing was wrong, but is the good ending canon? or is it just one of many outcomes? I simply do not have the answer alone.

Restored Document

This is a restored historical document detailing the captured thoughts of one of the ancient echidna's and The Echidna Empire.

This is a story originally written by me, but rewritten to be less wordy by the one and only amazing @sonicexelle-junkary and I thank him highly for helping me.

For the past few weeks both me and my tribe have been dealing with a recently discovered being. Well, more like it had discovered us. At first, we all thought it was an odd coincidence that we all dreamt of the same deity, but our initial thoughts were proven wrong when it had decided to show its face in the waking world.

It had presented itself as "Zepperaith the Dreamer". A deity that watched over the unconscious and promised to give those a pleasant sleep. Despite the tribes fear and skepticism of it, they have taken upon to appease this being for now, as angering it would give unnecessary conflict.

The deity often stays near the shrine we had built just on the outskirts of the village when it visits outside of the dreaming world. Perhaps it knows how his presence unnerves the people here. Though, how I have observed it, I am surprised it cares at all.

It seems to be a peaceful entity with its promises of an incredibly great rest, giving everything we need to continue to do our work, and it has delivered on that promise. But as well, it seems rather … childish?

It doesn't seem to take things seriously, often telling jokes or making comments that the others find distasteful. I often find myself chuckling at its way of speech, despite the stares I receive because of it. I do not know why, but it's presence gives me a slight form of comfort. Perhaps this is why I was chosen to be head priest of its shrine, and why it seems the god has grown a bit fond of me. It had given me the nickname

"Monty" after I had told it that my name was "Monolith." I find it rather intriguing as to how casual it seems to be.

All of this has made me a bit of an outcast to the other members of the tribe. But I know that they are all just afraid of this being that is about as big as our own temples. Admittedly, I too fear of the one who awaits in our sleep. Thankfully, it doesn't appear that often, nor does it stay around for too long as it has stated it needs a host in order to stay in the waking world for longer than it has.

I am still skeptical, but truthfully, the thought of being the God's host excites me. I still fear for what would happen once it has taken over my body. If it would still be good like it has promised, or if it would suddenly turn on my kind. But, I still can't deny how I feel my chest tighten at the thought of it.

It has only been a few weeks since Zepperaith has let himself be known, but I plan to write down any information I gather about this deity. Something tells me that it likes to talk about itself.

I'm so interested in Zepperaith and Monolith.

What did he do as Zepperaith's host? Or should I ask "what did Zepperaith do with Monolith as a host"?

Not having much time with Monolith as his host, Zepperaith likely didn't get todo much but what he did do his explore as much of ancient Mobius/Earth and show his host the world.

While also spreading good dreams to everyone they came across, however being alot more cocky and reckless then when in the future sonic becomes his host.

One of the biggest reasons leading to the clan forcing them to separate and Monolith's death was because Zepperaith's first attempts at the 'sleeping ones' the leaders of the tribes feared not having control of their bodies and took actions to prevent it.

Monolith didn't do all too much, but he did give advice to Zep thru the mind scape and they would talk to eachother as much as possible slowly growing their bound, but even Monolith was terrified by the sleeping ones, and tried to talk Zepperaith out of it, hence why they were willing to split apart with the dreamer not using Monolith as his host.

Did Zepperaith manage to meet Tikal? If not, how would they interact?

I like to think yes they meet but didn't have many interactions, Zepperaith would likely treat her like he does everyone else as a bit of a jerk.

But I feel like Tikal would be a more patient person and willing to look past it knowing the dreamer isn't a mortal thus doesn't know how to properly behave around them.

I won't lie she probably knew somewhat about how Monolith thought about him, I could totally picture her looking at Monolith like this

and him being the dense echidna he was, having no idea what it meant.

What's the best thing about writing for Zepperiath?

Mod Monnie: oh thank you alot, I didn't acutally except any questions.

I think I might have answered something similar before? but I think the best part of writing Zepperaith is trying to find a fine line between "scary" and "goofy" cause he is both VERY intimidating and unnerving.

But he is also just the biggest damn goofball you will ever meet.

Literally how I imagine Zepperaith is this video

Zepperaith one moment can be like.

"Little Lamb... Little Sheep... count the ways you sleep, it's time to head to bed, where you will dream peacefully and so sweetly~"

and then be like.

"meow meow meow meow, I'm a kitty cat look at me go!"

Waves his hand in a cat like way, because at some point he confused sonic for a cat.

Zepperaith the dreamer looks like an echidna
