Barelydemonstarted

The current map to the abyss is barelydemonstarted. The master places the demon between barely and started; binding it to forever be before started. It is a state of barely initiated confrontation with internal or existential demons that remain unstarted yet linger in the past. It signifies a moment where the chaotic, primal aspects of experience are recognized as useful guides rather than obstacles.
