Chapter 11: The Beast

Lo-Sàfah draws Kopesh-Ra closer to satisfy his curiosity about this strange new entity that has entered his world, a will that seems at once weak, yet indomitable. Advancing further into the jungle drawn on by the red eyes, The Beast and Kopesh-Ra enter a clearing. Here, Kopesh-Ra sees The Beast in his full eminence. Emitting an aura of stench and contamination, The Beast looks gaunt yet muscular, lean yet fat, tall yet repugnantly short, a handsome man or an old witch. It is an ever-changing avatar of something yet unseen that distinguishes The Beast, Kopesh-Ra realizes.

Facing each other at either end of the clearing, Lo-Sàfah begins to advance, it’s aura emanating ever closer to Kopesh-Ra. They engage in what seems to him a dance, slowly turning and twisting, gaining more proximity, then circling and moving apart. The dance gains in intensity, the two gravities setting up a feedback loop that increases the amplitude.

Just as The Beast is about to make impossible Kopesh-Ra’s escape from the black hole of its will, showing up at the edge of the clearing appear ‘epIk and the ghost. Seeing Kopesh-Ra engaged in the vicious battle, they rush toward him and get swallowed up in the gravity well of The Beast. Disrupting the orbits of Lo-Sàfah and Kopesh-Ra, the ghost is the first to be swallowed into the grotesque spinning form of The Beast. His wispy form dissipates quickly as the clearing becomes a dark vortex of color and energy. Spinning wildly, ‘epIk yells as he too gets caught up in the center of Lo- Sàfah, who releases its grasp from Kopesh-Ra. As Kopesh-Ra goes spinning off into the jungle, ‘epIk yells, “Keep with your mission! Go to the Dream City! Only YOU are Kopesh-Raaaaaaaaaahhhhh!”
