Tower of Heaven

Atlas' world became more and more corrupted with the passage of time.

He was freed from the torture of hunger and thirst after two days and sent to a new location, but hunger and thirst still plagued him so.

He was chained to a rock and unable to move in the slightest. He was inside of a ravine with massive cliffs on both sides of him. The sun peeked through the slit between them, blinding him if he tried to look into the sky.

This kind of existence was tortuous enough, but it was only the setting. The true torture had yet to appear.

It was only that evening when Atlas first experienced it.

The sound of three birds awoke him from a delirious state. When he looked up, he saw their shadows blanketing the sky.

They circled him for about an hour before descending. They looked like vultures more than three times the size of the ordinary birds. They poked at his body, questioning whether he was alive or dead.
