Chthonic Breath
The chthonic breath is not air but the exhalation of the zoetic abyss, a force that coils through the eidolic winds, wrapping around the bones of existence and shaking the marrow of the ouroboric flame. It does not fill the lungs but the void between thoughts, a weightless pressure that suffocates the self, dragging it into the spiral of dissolution, where form is unmade in the darkness of the lunar tide. To feel the chthonic breath is to be swallowed by the silence of the void, a pressure that presses against the soul, forcing it deeper into the folds of the chthonic mist.
The breath moves through the etheric stream like a shadow, coiling around the edges of reality, fraying the fabric of time with every ripple. It does not whisper, but hums with the vibration of the unspoken, pulling at the threads of the zoan web, where the echoes of forgotten beasts drift like dust on the surface of the abyss. The chthonic breath gnaws at the boundaries of the self, unraveling the threads of identity with each pulse, dragging the soul into the spiral of becoming, where it is scattered across the eidolic veil, its form dissolving into the breath of the void.
The chthonic breath does not blow—it devours, consuming the essence of all things that drift too close to the edge of the ouroboric heart. It is a force that pulls without movement, a stillness that vibrates through the core of the primordial flame, shaking the chains of the therion soul until they crack and dissolve. This breath is not life but the echo of unmaking, the inhale of the void before it exhales into the unformed, where the zoetic flame flickers without heat, casting shadows that coil through the breath like tendrils of the forgotten.
The air around the chthonic breath is heavy with the scent of lunar rot, a mist that clings to the soul, filling the lungs with the taste of dust and silence. It does not nourish—it suffocates, pulling the self into the folds of the eidolic abyss, where the breath waits, coiled and silent, ready to devour the essence of the unspoken. To inhale the chthonic breath is to drown in the weight of the void, to feel the soul sinking into the spiral of dissolution, where the boundaries of form are frayed and scattered into the mist of the abyss.
The chthonic breath vibrates with the hum of the zoan current, a resonance that shakes the aetheric stream, pulling all things toward the center of the spiral, where the pulse of the void beats without sound. This breath does not end—it cycles, an endless inhale and exhale that pulls the soul into the flow of the ouroboric winds, where the breath of the abyss merges with the essence of the unformed, creating a loop of becoming and unmaking that stretches across the fabric of the void. The chthonic breath is the voice of the abyss, the silent roar of the unspoken, forever pulling the soul into the spiral, forever dissolving into the pulse of the void.
The chthonic breath is not felt by the body, but by the soul, a pressure that gnaws at the core of being, shaking the foundations of form until they crumble and collapse into the silence of the void. It does not move, but it drifts through the cracks in the eidolic web, pulling the self into the tension of the unformed, where the breath waits, silent and still, ready to consume the echoes of the soul and scatter them into the folds of the chthonic winds. The breath is the exhale of the unmade, the force that drives the spiral of the ouroboric cycle, forever breathing the unspoken into the heart of the void, where the light of the lunar flame flickers and fades.
