The Chronos-Weaver

Through the distortion, I saw it: the Chronos-Weaver. It possesses no symmetry, no recognizable limbs, and no face.

• It is a heavily lopsided, uneven mass.
• On one side, it is a dense, jagged cluster of massive obsidian shards, which violently tapers off into a thin, erratic, broken spiral of weeping liquid amethyst cores.
• Embedded randomly throughout this uneven geometry are fleshy, mismatched ocular organs.
• A single, massive, bulging eye anchors the heavy obsidian side, while dozens of tiny, blind, twitching pupils cluster on the amethyst fragments.

When a pack of native Desert-Stalkers tried to ambush it, the creature emitted a high-pitched resonance that physically fractured reality. The intense temporal distortion manifested before my naked eyes as a harsh, stuttering cyan and magenta chromatic aberration—a violent glitch in the fabric of the world itself.

• The stalkers were crushed by overlapping, stuttering afterimages of the worm that, a second prior, weren't even there.
• I survived, but the cursed black energy permanently stained my journal, leaving my notes corrupted and radiating a faint, dark hum.
