In this regard they are different from other entities, who may ascend (or descend) to some other state, be subsumed, reborn, reincarnated or whose existence may simply end. From Nothing, they may become again; it is posited that vestiges – in thought, memory, dreams or some other medium – are sufficient for a kernel of potentiality to form, around which the chthonic may remainifest at some later time. In the interim, they are not – in the sense that they possess no distinct individuality – Nothing itself is assumed to be fundamentally undifferentiated. They “rest in the bosom of the Ancient.”The experience of becoming Nothing – which is to say the moment at which the entity passes from a sense of individual selfhood to the annihilation of the self and the assertion of Nothing as true  – is analagous to orgasm in many ways; for Soneillon – “The Mango in Cheshne’s Mouth” it is apparent that they are identical. She craves annihilation, specifically the experience of being annihilated, and the madness which she suffers – the delirium which the pseudonatural template in some way represents – can be understood as her inability to realize this need.Kaalaanala – being sadistic – allows Soneillon to experience her “reward” for only a short time. Soneillon’s goading of Eadric to kill her in the Mésalliance can also be understood in this context Her frustration is directed at him because he will not kill her. A kind of excessum interruptum, from her point of view. It is possible that succubi are anorgasmic. From an Oronthonist perspective, this would be fitting punishment – presumably for celestials whose initial fall was linked with a display of or preoccupation with carnality. It is also possible that chthonics – who have shaken off this paradigm – are no longer subject to this limitation, or have reframed it within the context of experiencing annihilation. It seems that Soneillon was permitted to experience climax in the context of Eadric’s pursuit of the Path of Lightning; something which might, in fact, be interpreted as grace on the part of OronthonAnd then, with regard to Orm:Something which is later reframed in her words to Eadric:I’ve tried to shy away from a run-of-the-mill masochistic explananation for Soneillon’s need for her own extinction: But I’m not sure how well I’ve communicated it. Soneillon is not an algolagniac, per se; rather she would view the most intense and unimaginable pain as a kind of foreplay or prelude to death-orgasm. There is no equivalent paraphilia amongst mere mortals, because they can experience death only once. The same is not true of chthonics, for whom annihilation can be experienced on multiple occasions.And if your boyfriend is capable of performing true resurrection…Trust assumes a new meaning.</blockquote>
