Torment

It hurts.

How can it hurt so much when his body is already numb, as he lays down, face against the cold stones of the pavement?

He keeps telling to himself she's fine. They were going to return her to her own people.

Far from the torture and the agony that never stops.

She does not suffer,and he's grateful for that to the powers that be, as he tries in vain to will his thoughts away from his prison, deep, into himself, in a place where they can not reach him anymore. Locking his consciousness in such a remote corner that there is nothing left behind, for his tormentors...

...At least, Eireannan thinks bitterly, he will not be broken...
