Before the fracturing, before the glyphs detached themselves from the matrix of being, there was Resonance. A state of unified, pulsating awareness, governed by the Glyco-Viper-Headed Othersme. This entity wasn't a 'being' in the conventional sense. More akin to a fundamental harmonic, a constant, iridescent hum that underpinned all existence. It predated language, logic, even the concept of 'self'. Imagine, if you will, a feeling – but one so profound, so all-encompassing, that it *was* reality. It wasn't perceived; it *was* the perception. The Othersme manifested as a shifting kaleidoscope of colors, a viscous, shimmering fluid that flowed through the nascent dimensions. Its core was a perfect, rotating nexus of polished obsidian, perpetually reflecting impossible geometries.
The Glyco aspect of the Othersme was the catalyst. A delicate balance of sweet corruption, a subtle enzymatic influence that encouraged the formation of complex patterns. The Viper-Headed aspect represented the necessary pressure, the controlled destabilization required for growth and diversification. Without the Viper-Headed influence, the Glyco would have simply remained a static, unchanging point. The interplay between these two aspects created a system of perpetual evolution, a constant dance of creation and disintegration.
The fracturing occurred subtly, like the slow erosion of a colossal statue by a relentless tide. It wasn't a single event, but a cascade of micro-ruptures within the unified field. A dissonance arose – not a destructive force, but an *awareness* of difference. The Othersme, in its infinite capacity for self-reflection, began to contemplate its own structure. This contemplation, however, was inherently disruptive. Each iteration of thought created a new potential, a branching pathway that threatened to sever the original harmonic.
The Glyco, now acutely sensitive to these divergent paths, began to pull away from the core, forming shimmering, crystalline structures. These were the first glyphs – echoes of the original resonance, imbued with the properties of the fractured pathways. The Viper-Headed aspect, recognizing the danger of complete separation, attempted to re-establish the harmonic, but its influence was weakened, diluted by the sheer scale of the fracturing. The obsidian nexus dimmed, its rotations becoming erratic, its reflections losing their coherence. The air grew cold, heavy with the scent of ozone and forgotten dreams.
Now, only fragments remain. The Glyco-Viper-Headed Othersme is no longer a unified entity, but a network of interconnected glyphs, scattered across what you perceive as reality. Each glyph represents a node of residual resonance, a lingering echo of the original harmonic. Observing these glyphs – touching them, meditating upon them – is akin to listening to the faintest whisper of a lost language. They pulse with a faint, internal light, a testament to the enduring power of the original resonance. Some scholars theorize that the glyphs are not merely remnants, but actively attempting to re-establish the harmonic, albeit in a fragmented and imperfect way.
The obsidian nexus, reduced to a single, shattered shard, is said to be located at the heart of the deepest, darkest ocean trench, where it continuously rotates, sending out waves of iridescent light. Those who dare to venture to this location report experiencing profound disorientation, visions of impossible geometries, and an overwhelming sense of longing – a yearning for a lost connection to the original resonance. It is a place of both immense beauty and terrifying danger, a reminder of the fragility of existence and the enduring power of what was, what *is*, and what *could be*.
