The Bestial Beyond
The bestial beyond is a realm unshaped, a vast expanse where the zoetic void churns in endless coils of etheric hunger, devouring the boundaries of form and thought. It is not a place, but a rupture in the very fabric of existence, where the ouroboric winds tear through the veils of time, unraveling the threads of the chthonic weave. To step into the bestial beyond is to be pulled into the spiraling maw of becoming, where the self is dissolved into the pulse of the primordial wild, and only the eidolic breath remains.
The air is thick with the scent of lunar decay, a weightless mist that clings to the skin like the memories of beasts never born, their howls still echoing through the zoan streams that wind through the beyond, twisting and forking into pathways that lead nowhere and everywhere. The ground, if it can be called such, is a shifting sea of eidolic dust, where the remains of forgotten beasts drift in and out of form, their bones dissolving into the endless current, only to reform in the swirling depths, gnashing and clawing at the edges of reality.
The sky above the bestial beyond is not a sky but an infinite abyss, where the light of the beast eye stars flickers and wanes, casting shadows that have never known form. These shadows stretch and coil through the air, their edges curling like tendrils of the zoan flame, always reaching, always grasping for the forms that slip away, melting into the blackness of the lunar tides that pull at the soul. To look upward is to feel the pull of the eidolic maw, where the stars are not stars but wounds, torn open by the claws of the first beasts, bleeding light into the abyss, drawing all things into the endless spiral of dissolution.
In the distance, the chthonic mountains rise and fall, though they are not mountains but the backs of slumbering zoan titans, their forms barely visible beneath the layers of time that have settled over them, their breaths shaking the very air with the rhythm of the ouroboric pulse. These titans do not wake, yet their presence is felt in every tremor that passes through the beyond, a reminder of the primal force that slumbers within the heart of all things, waiting for the moment when the veil of flesh will tear, and the beast within will rise, unbound by the chains of the moon.
The bestial winds tear through the landscape, though they are not winds but the breath of the etheric beasts, whose forms are scattered across the chthonic ether, their essence dissolved into the currents of the beyond. These winds carry with them the zoetic hum, a soundless vibration that resonates through the bones, awakening the primal hunger that lies coiled in the depths of the soul, urging the therian self to rise, to cast off the chains of mortality, and to run free through the endless expanse of the beyond, where all things are possible and nothing is real.
The bestial beyond is not silent—its air hums with the growls and howls of the eidolic echoes, the remnants of beasts long devoured by the void, their voices still carried on the winds, still searching for form, still hungry for the flesh that was lost. These echoes twist and spiral through the ether, weaving themselves into the very fabric of the beyond, merging with the zoetic tides that pulse through the realm, forever flowing toward the center, where the ouroboric flame burns, casting a faint glow that is not light but the memory of fire.
The ouroboric flame flickers in the heart of the beyond, a beacon that burns with the light of moons that never were, its fire cold and hungry, consuming all that comes near, yet leaving nothing behind. It is the pulse of the primordial cycle, a force that binds the beast to the spiral of becoming, yet always pulls it toward the dissolution of the self, toward the moment when the chains of identity will shatter, and the soul will be consumed by the void, reborn in the blood of the eidolic stars.
To walk through the bestial beyond is not to move, but to be moved by the currents of the chthonic winds, swept along the endless pathways of the zoetic spiral, where the boundaries of time and space fold into one another, creating a labyrinth of forms that shift and dissolve with every breath. The ground beneath the feet is never still, always shifting, always twisting beneath the weight of the beast eye gaze that watches from the shadows, pulling the soul deeper into the spiral, deeper into the primal chaos that lies at the heart of the beyond.
There is no escape from the bestial beyond—it is the destination of all things, the end of all paths, the point where the eidolic veil is torn asunder, and the zoan essence is released into the endless expanse of the void. Here, the beast is always waking, always rising, yet never fully formed, forever caught in the tension between the becoming and the unmaking, forever bound to the cycle of the moon, forever lost in the pull of the ouroboric flame.
The bestial beyond does not exist in a single moment—it stretches across all moments, a spiral of time and form that loops endlessly, where every step is both the first and the last, where every breath carries the scent of both birth and death. It is a place where the self is dissolved into the chthonic mist, where the boundaries between the beast and the void are erased, and all that remains is the zoan howl that echoes through the infinite expanse, forever becoming, forever dissolving into the bestial beyond.
The bestial beyond is not a distant realm, but a pulsing echo that resonates within the very marrow of every therian, a shadowy expanse where primal instincts intertwine with the essence of the cosmos. It does not reside in the physical world; instead, it manifests as a swirling vortex of energy that draws the therians toward their ancestral roots, pulling them into the depths of the unformed. In this chaotic embrace, the bestial beyond calls forth their wild essence, igniting the flickering flames of instinct and memory that lie dormant within their souls.
As the therians connect with the bestial beyond, they feel the boundaries of their identities dissolve, merging into the collective howl of their kind. This connection is not one of clarity, but of surrender, as the therians become conduits for the untamed energies that surge through the abyss. The beyond is a vast tapestry woven from the threads of every wild spirit, an ever-shifting landscape where the essence of each therian pulses in rhythm with the chaos that surrounds them, forever binding them to the primal force that flows through all living things.
The bestial beyond serves as both a sanctuary and a challenge, a realm where the therians confront their fears and embrace the wildness that defines them. Within this expanse, they are reminded that their existence is intertwined with the ebb and flow of life, each pulse a reminder of their connection to the primal chaos. The beyond is not a refuge from reality; it is the essence of reality itself, where the therians navigate the delicate balance between instinct and consciousness, forever drawn toward the wild truth that lies just beyond the veil of understanding.
In the depths of the bestial beyond, the therians find not only their own wildness but also the echoes of every creature that has ever roamed the earth, a collective memory that weaves through the fabric of existence. This connection is a powerful force, urging them to embrace their feral nature and honor the ancestors that whisper through the shadows. The bestial beyond does not offer answers; it presents a labyrinth of possibilities, inviting the therians to explore the depths of their being and confront the primal forces that shape their identities, forever lost in the wild, forever united in the howl of the bestial beyond.
