The beast

You stand before a dark, ominous woodcut... [[Examine the Beast's Seven Heads]]. [[Study the Beast's Diabolical Form]]. [[Look to the Heavenly Clouds]]. [[Focus on the Human Figures]]. [[Investigate Imagery of Blasphemy and Idolatry]] [[Examine the Serpent-Like Figures]]

You approach the multi-headed creature... [[Look closer at the crowned heads]] [[Examine the facial features]]

The beast looms before you... [[Inspect the beast’s texture and form]] [[Examine its feet and mouth]]

Swirling clouds hang above... [[Contemplate the meaning of the clouds]] [[Observe the separation of heaven and earth]]

At the base of the image, humans cower... [[Watch their gestures of supplication]] [[Reflect on their fate]]

The crowned heads display blasphemy... [[Search for the "names of blasphemy"]] [[Consider the beast’s defiance]]

To the side, you see winged creatures... [[Study the winged, serpent-like creatures]] [[Reflect on their relationship to the main beast]]

The crowns glitter ominously... [[Reflect on the passage from Revelation]]

Each head has a distinct expression... [[Consider their symbolic nature]]

Drawn to the beast's power, you bow before it. [[Lost to the Beast]]

The twisted faces seem to leer at you, but their expressions offer no further insight. You feel trapped by their gaze, but the answers remain elusive. [[The start]]

The creature's body is scaly... [[Analyze the symbolism]]

Bear-like feet stamp down... [[Reflect on its fearsome power]]

Resist the Beast [[You turn away, resisting its influence]]

The clouds swirl with energy... [[Think of the impending judgment]]

The boundary is stark... [[Ponder your place in this balance]]

The clouds swirl ominously, but no divine message comes. The heavens remain silent, their wrath still waiting. [[The start]]

The boundary between heaven and earth stands firm, but you cannot cross it. You are left to ponder your place, unsure of the answer. [[The start]]

Some plead, others bow... [[Interpret their fear and awe]]

They are lost to idolatry... [[Have these people been deceived?]]

The figures plead and bow, but their fate is sealed. You can only observe, helpless to change their path. [[The start]]

The humans have been deceived, but there is no saving them now. Their path of idolatry continues, and you can only watch. [[The start]]

The names are not written... [[Contemplate the danger of idolatry]]

The crowned heads scream defiance, but their blasphemy does not reveal any greater understanding. The beast stands proud, unchallenged. [[The start]]

The names of blasphemy remain hidden, shrouded in darkness. You cannot decipher their meaning, and the beast's power lingers. [[The start]]

Sinister and strange... [[Speculate on their role]]

You feel lost in thought, but no deeper insight is gained.

The serpents and the beast are linked, but their bond remains shrouded in mystery. You cannot determine their true connection. [[The start]]

The end... you lost

The Path to Salvation...you won

The rough, scaly texture seems unyielding and impenetrable, providing no further clues. The beast remains a terrifying mystery. [[The start]]
