(terminus x reader (implied normal) drabble, i love terminus. kinda ambiguous if romantic or not.....)

TERMINUS tends to appear to you as a black cat, many of thousands. THEY cross your path in this form, to the point you start to think that a black cat is the aeon that somehow always makes time in THEIR journey to bask in your presence. you sometimes think if these cats are simply like a hive mind or multiple TERMINUSES existing simultaneously, walking backwards to reach Origin. you wonder if you've ever truly met THEM at all, or simply THEIR fragments. in the end, are you just a simple amusing stop in THEIR divine journey? the black cat this time never speaks, simply stares at you as you speak your worries.

truth is, TERMINUS avoids to gaze you. THEY know THEIR power, and what THEY brought upon THEIR birth. THEY have lifted the wheel of time, THEY became the destroyer of worlds, and THEY will travel to what all perceive as the Beginning to signal THEIR End. THEIR existence is a never-ending cycle, bound to repeat as long as AKIVILI, THEIR antithesis, journeys from one planet to another, till THEIR fall catches up to the waywarding Aeon.

THEY are doomed as THEY are blessed.

yet... your presence is a guiding constant, in every cat THEY manifest into. no matter what time, what moment, you seem to be always there, always ready to welcome THEM. no matter what Finality, you were always a constant. its a comfort, though TERMINUS long left a mortal emotion in the cracked egg of THEIR mortality.

as such, THEY will never gaze you. not until the time is right. for THEY while they wish an early Finality so your path will end in THEIR embrace, THEY will not strip you of this journey of life.

for now, TERMINUS, the Shapeless Prince, is long content of being a cat stopping in its favorite spot. fleeting, yet always there. till one day, Finality swings and brings you to THEIR hold.

Then, together you will witness the Origin of this Universe... and the End of Finality.

Pretend I spelled Literally correctly in the second panel. My brain was fried after a Math quiz😭

the Aeons of HSR interest me

Terminus is the Aeon of Finality, and was created at the end of the Universe/Time when everything had finally gone but travels backwards through time. what would this feel like?

seeing the destruction of everything in reverse must feel like seeing creation, and when Terminus travels to the beginning it must feel like that everything had been destroyed, ripped to pieces by another, possibly greater being.

it must be a painful existence for them, because they are very possibly the first and last aeon ever known to the universe.

I wonder what Terminus looks like, maybe like a jumbled mass of things, aspects of all that was left in the Universe once it had ended, parts of them splitting off as time rewinds.

Aeon of Destruction thoughts

This is gonna be worse than the other two cause I like the non-ingame path Aeons more tbh.

Nanook is the Aeon of Destruction, something that I find is interesting to think about since it is present almost everywhere in media.

Oroboros is the Aeon of Voracity and is considered to be ancient, while Nanook is one of the youngest Aeons as they had ascended in a relevant time to the Swarm Disaster.

Surface level, these two are one in the same. Destruction can be found in Voracity since consumption is usually depicted as destroying something to gain. However, these two are different.

Nanook seeks the destruction of everything, and to tie them back with Terminus, they must succeed in the damnation of all things in the HSR Universe.

Those who follow Destruction try to bring about this destruction quicker, but Nanook does not show much to their followers iirc.

Terminus and Oroboros tie back to Nanook. Everything that I can think of will always tie back to Destruction and Nanook.

Destruction is a physical thing, you can see it, can feel it, can be it in a sense. This is why I believe the element of Destruction is truly Physicality.
