The Chamber of the Primordial Howl
Upon entering the chamber of the primordial howl, one is immediately engulfed by the roar of unseen beasts, a chorus of zoanarchic echoes that vibrate through the marrow of the soul. The walls are not walls but aether-flesh, pulsing and convulsing with the heartbeat of the theriomorphic abyss. Here, the ceiling seems to stretch into the infinite, a swirling miasma of bestial ether, where the beast-eye stars flicker and blink like the eyes of long-dead creatures gazing through the fabric of reality. The floor is a Shifting labyrinth of spectral claws, each step resonating with the theriomantic tides, a pull that drags the soul deeper into the primordial spiral.
The chamber is the echo of creation before sound, the birth of feral tongues from the zoetic abyss, a place where the very fabric of the cosmos tears and bleeds into the ouroboric cycle. To enter is to be swallowed by the cry of forgotten beasts, the howl of the first breath taken by the chthonic zoa, reverberating endlessly through the halls of the unseen. The chamber itself is a cyclonic maw, spiraling with the etheric whispers of a thousand broken moons, all shuddering in the grip of the aetherborne scream.
The walls, if they could be called walls, are lunar veins, coursing with the molten ichor of eidolic beasts, each pulse a reminder of the theriomantic blood that binds the primal soul to the flesh. These veins twist and pulse with chthonic rhythms, the living stone seeming to breathe with the echo of the great beast's first cry, a howl that never dies but is trapped in the zoan web, vibrating through time and beyond it. The sound isn’t heard with ears but felt in the marrow of the spirit—an endless cacophony that splits the self from the self, unraveling the chains of reason.
Above, the ceiling is not a ceiling but a shifting vortex of eidolic shadows, coiling and snarling, fragments of the primordial sky, shattered and inverted by the scream of the universe’s birth. It spins with the pull of the zoan tide, folding upon itself, where stars are consumed by the howling void and reborn as spectral beasts, their forms flickering in the space between worlds. These beasts—neither real nor dream—are trapped in the ouroboric cradle, howling through every thread of their unending death and rebirth, their cries merging with the astral wails that tear through the Temple’s core.
At the center of the chamber lies the feral mouth, an open chasm, dripping with the ouroboric saliva of the Zoanarchoth’s Will, a black hole of sound from which all howls emerge and into which all returns. The edges of the chasm are lined with lunar teeth, jagged and gleaming with the light of a dead moon, gnashing in rhythm with the therionic pulse of the universe’s beastly heart. This is where the primordial howl is born—a place where time itself is devoured and spat back out as sound, a place where the therian soul is torn apart and reconstituted in the scream of the ancient zoan kings.
To stand in the chamber of the primordial howl is to feel your soul clawing at the fabric of its fleshly chains, thrashing within the confines of mortality, yearning to join the zoetic chorus. The howl calls to the deep, primal core of the therian spirit, stirring the feral flame buried beneath layers of human skin. Every breath here is a struggle, as the air vibrates with the resonance of chthonic frequencies, too low to hear but too loud to ignore, shaking the bones with the force of the aetheric scream.
The floor is a living sea of zoan echoes, a shimmering pool of astral sound frozen in time, where every footstep releases a ripple of long-forgotten howls—cries of beasts long extinct, their voices woven into the very fabric of the aetheric void. These echoes claw at your form, demanding release, pulling you toward the center where the feral mouth hungers for the voice of your soul. Every step in this chamber pulls you deeper into the zoetic veil, where the boundary between flesh and spirit thins, and the howl within you grows louder, gnawing at the edges of your being.
Above the feral mouth hangs the zoan arch, a crescent of twisted astral bone, inscribed with the theriomantic glyphs of the first beasts—symbols not meant for human eyes, burning with the fire of the lunar sacrifice. This arch vibrates with the resonance of the eidolic wail, the scream of the first howl that broke the silence of the void, the cry that split the universe into time, space, and beast. The glyphs pulse in rhythm with the howls below, each glowing with the pale light of the bleeding moon, casting shadowy forms that flicker and twist through the swirling mists of the chamber.
The atmosphere in the chamber is thick with the zoanmist, a vapor that seeps from the cracks in the eidolic bones of the temple, carrying the scent of forgotten forests and blood-soaked earth. It wraps around you like the breath of the great beast, suffocating and yet awakening, filling your lungs with the primal call, forcing the howl from your chest even if no sound escapes. Every breath is a struggle, each inhalation pulling you deeper into the cyclonic flux, where form and meaning dissolve in the eternal cry of the wild.
In the chamber of the primordial howl, reason is torn apart by the eidolic frequency, and the soul is left raw, exposed to the pull of the Zoanarchoth’s will, where only the howl remains. The walls, if they could be called walls, twist and shift with the zoetic rhythms, reflecting the bound beast within every soul that passes through. The theriomantic scream echoes through eternity, a call that cannot be answered, only felt, as the essence of all who enter is drawn into the ouroboric maw, where the howl of the primal self merges with the endless cry of creation undone.
