Tortura
Tortura is a late alchemist's execution masterpiece created from amalgamating thousands of souls.
Cruciatus, the creator, born pain insensitive, longed to feel alive. Indifferent, his twisted morality suited him well as a royal executioner. For the longest time, he assumed people in pain could improve his empathy, but instead, it fueled his envy. It led him to perfect an instrument of the highest form of pain.
From all his subjects, he materialized a being to inflict harm upon himself. He got impaled but was unable to recognize any sensation. Before his last breath, he felt a foreign emotion, a minute pain of knowing he created a horror that takes away the pain— life.
On death's door, He fully realized that living is suffering in itself. His struggle to satisfy his ambition was the very pain he sought after. His life's work compressed in that last-second realization. Cruciatus' legacy, Tortura, now becomes the greatest paradox of torture.
