Squidmanescape,

The story isn't creepypasta. It feels like a rough draft of a sword and sandal fantasy epic.

The term gargoyle is a Middle Ages architectural word, originating in France. It was part of the drainage system of a castle. They sometimes had spouts that were carved figures and people liked fantastic shaped ones. Thus the term gargoyle became associated with the shape and not a way to prevent water damage to castle roofs.
