Strange thought

Ravien stood still, silently watching the formless, dark opening in front of him.

He just stood there, tracking every subtle movement of that grotesque thing with quiet intensity.

(POV: Ravien)

I didn't create this thing.

But... it's connected to my capacity somehow. I can feel it deep inside—this being was born from a piece of me I unconsciously used.

I wasn't aware of it. But still... it came from something that belongs to me.

What the hell is this?

I could partially make out the voices rising from within the mouth.

Broken. Inconsistent.

But the message was clear:

"Create us."

My gaze locked onto the still-open, shapeless gap.

Without changing my stance, I raised my voice slightly:

"Who are you? Why do you want me to create?"

No answer.

The mouth suddenly trembled.

Its edges began to pull inward.
