It was then he heard creaking. He was confused at first. After so long of hearing nothing but his own heart, could it be that it was finally giving out on him? Why did the sound of his heart giving up sound so much like whining metal?
Soon, a beam of light cut through the darkness, blinding Virvor. It was so jarring that his irises felt a stinging pain overwhelm them.
Even when Primus came to torture him, he hadn't seen the light. But, somehow, the ceiling above him had disappeared. No… The entire building was gone. The sun… He could see the sun.
Maybe it was only now that Virvor understood that the cage he had been kept in was made of some odd material. A few weeks of torture shouldn't have been enough to shake the mind of a celestial. Even Matriarch Niveus who Dyon had been torturing for more than a hundred years had yet to fully lose her mind yet.
