He watches from above as you're beaten and pulled. Jabbed and mocked. Torn and jostled. The villagers secure you to a large stake, making sure the ropes are taught as they layer dry logs around the bottom of the stake, chanting an ancient song for the gods.
You are a witch. A witch of destruction. ***His*** witch of destruction. The almighty being is drowned in anger and seething with pure rage as he watches the villagers light the wood, every crackle, and pop of fire like a stab to his non-existent heart.
Overcome by agony, you tilt your head up to the sky as if aware of his presence. The first few tears fall, and at last, you break. A gut-wrenching wail of pure suffering breaks from your lips only to be cut off as you take in a sharp breath, the pain preventing you from breathing properly.
The sound of villagers chanting and cheering is overwhelming. Everything is too much. The pain, warmth, cheering, people, sky, exhaustion, your cat screeching, your own breathing, even your clothes felt like too much at this point, like they were restricting your already laboured breathing.
