I had no idea how much time had passed. Maybe I had been here for an eternity, I couldn't know. The only thing that reminded me of existence was the lashes that cracked through the air from time to time.
¡Carajo! I was supposed to be numb to the pain by now, but it seemed like each lash was a brand new sensation, and I could never get used to it. That was how my master worked. And it made me think of those who had been eternally condemned to this place. They would be whipped for all eternity, each stroke more painful than the previous one.
Perhaps the very fact that I couldn't speak, nor move was a blessing in itself. Otherwise, I'd have surely gone mad by now.
That bastard Axel. I swore to kill him once I escaped this. IF.
And that was a big IF.
After a while, my master's presence returned to the temple. His voice was louder than the most violent thunderclap, "Leave him." He said, and the infernal demons vanished without a trace.
