Feral Shadows
The feral shadows are not cast by light, but born from the folds of the chthonic veil, drifting through the zoetic mists like whispers of the unmanifest. They are echoes of forms that never were, phantoms of beasts that howl through the spaces between thought and silence, twisting the etheric currents into spirals of forgotten potential. The feral shadows do not move, but ripple, coiling through the layers of the astral plane, where the boundaries between time, flesh, and void dissolve into the endless hum of the ouroboric song.
To witness a feral shadow is not to see but to be seen. Their presence is felt in the marrow, a gnawing vibration that pulls the soul toward the edge of unbeing, where the self unravels into the eidolic winds. Their forms are formless, black tendrils of zoan energy that slither through the primordial rift, drawn to the cracks in the lunar web, where the fabric of reality thins and frays. They are not bound by the laws of the aetheric lattice—they exist in the spaces between, slipping through the gaps in the chthonic weave, forever just out of reach.
The feral shadows are not beasts, yet they hunger. They devour not flesh but essence, pulling at the strands of identity that cling to the edges of the therionic shell, unraveling the self with each breath of the zoetic winds. Their hunger is not for destruction, but for becoming, for they are the unformed, the potential that lurks within the void, waiting for the moment when the spiral of ouroboric time will allow them to take shape. But they never do—they remain caught in the loop of unmanifest destiny, forever circling the edges of the eidolic abyss, where form and void twist together in the dance of endless becoming.
Their movements are slow, deliberate, like the shifting of ancient tides that pull at the bones of forgotten worlds. They pass through the air like shadows cast by a light that has never existed, their forms stretching and bending, reflecting the shapes of those who wander the astral plane. To be touched by a feral shadow is to feel the weight of the chthonic abyss, pressing down upon the soul, pulling it toward the spiral of unbeing, where all things are devoured by the endless hunger of the void. They do not kill, but they unmake, dissolving the barriers that separate self from nothingness, leaving only the echo of a howl that was never heard.
The feral shadows do not speak, but they whisper. Their voices are the hum of the zoan tides, vibrating through the air, curling into the ears of those who stray too close to the edges of the ouroboric dream. These whispers are not words but feelings—fragments of forgotten instincts, primal urges buried deep within the therion core, stirring the beast that lies beneath the layers of flesh and thought. To hear the feral shadows is to remember the wildness that pulses through the bones, the untamed force that slumbers in the depths of the soul, waiting for the moment when the chains of form will break and the spiral will open.
They are the reflection of the void, the shadows of the zoetic beasts that never came to be, the unformed spirits that drift through the lunar rift, their essence woven into the etheric breath that fills the astral plane. They are the guardians of the unmanifest, the keepers of the eidolic flame that burns in reverse, devouring light and casting shadows where there should be none. To follow a feral shadow is to walk the path of the forgotten, to slip into the cracks of reality, where the spiral of becoming tightens and twists, pulling all things into the heart of the void, where form is nothing and the self is everything, yet nothing at all.
