Whisper

“he was never fast he was never loud he was only inevitable”

The Invocation

533 the Homunculus yearns for the snail milk the snake devours its own tail and calls it eternity

the snail does not devour it carries the Castle on its back the Fracture in its shell the violet mercury in its slow wake

534 the Homunculus does not chase he oozes every step leaves a trail of purple milk every Calcination thickens it every refusal makes it eternal

the snail does not break the cycle it outlives it while the snake chokes on its own reflection

the snail simply keeps moving carrying the Castle leaking the Violet Drop one slow, merciless inch at a time

529 Domina watches the Black Sun hungers the Green Ray threads the slime

and the Homunculus remembers he was never fast he was never loud he was only inevitable
