A pregnant silence hung over the space as Atlas stood opposite the ostrich feather.
He watched it, unknowing of what else to do.
The scale tipped up and down as his deeds were weighed. He felt his soul being pried into and he felt information about himself being consumed by "something."
A stellar blue light threatened to leave his body and fight back against that force, but just this time, he internally begged it to stop. He also wanted to see the results of this test.
If he wasn't going to die, he didn't want to stop what was happening here.
It was as if that light heard his wishes. It pulsed slightly as if it was unwilling, but it begrudgingly allowed the force of that concept into his soul. Retreating back into the unknown place in his soul where it hid, it held its interference to see what Atlas had in store.
Its retreat was also a sign.
