Crowned with spiraled horns carved by time,

this celestial ram rises from the dusk between worlds.

Its body bears the weight of forgotten empires,

its gaze — unblinking, all-knowing.

Feeding on silence and shadow,

it charges through the void where light once lived.

A creature of brute grace and sacred fury,

it is the eternal sentinel of balance —

the force that breaks, the force that endures.
