Eternal Punishment Novels & Stories

Watching the Greens walk away without looking back, Nelson felt his heart sink deep as guilt and regret swallowed him whole. For the first time, he truly understood that he and Sinead had reached a dead end. No amount of backing down or apologizing could change anything now. She was no longer the little girl who would forgive him the moment he comforted her. She would never again give him another chance to start over. A bell that had been rung could not be unrung.

His eyes were filled with nothing but pain and disappointment. He turned his head, refusing to meet my eyes. He’d made his choice. A broken laugh escaped my lips, tears streaming down my face. Why did I ever believe in an eternity between species? Why did I ever believe his vows? It's okay. Just six more days, and I can leave. In the Punishment Chamber, the silver whip cut a blinding arc through the air. The first lash tore my skin open. The second. The third... My consciousness began to fade in the searing pain.

“So we must punish you accordingly.” Then they began listing the punishments. “Let her be flayed by her own memories for a thousand years.” “Let her be cast into the River of Regret, where the waters eat the soul.” “Let her sleep beneath the Bones of the Forgotten.” “Or let us burn her with eternal fire that devours only the heart.” Adolfa’s eyes widened. “No…” The ground trembled.

The strain would burn through even our unified form within days." "Not kill," New Lyra corrected quietly. "Transform. You would become—permanent. Eternal. No longer able to separate or die or change. You would exist as fixed points holding back entropy forever." Through our bond, we felt five sources of horror at that fate. Eternal existence as cosmic pillars? Never dying but never truly living either? Just—persisting. Forever. Alone together for eternity?

Father said. He turned around and contemplated my punishment. He thought really hard about how to punish me severely for my insolence. "Normally, I would chain you up and let you burn for all eternity but that would be mercy. You will face something far worse. Do you think being human is a good thing? You're so wrong. You were there for just a few days and didn't spend enough time there to witness the horrors and suffering that take place on earth. As your punishment for having feelings for an angel, I will cast you to the Earth to live the rest of your life there, as a Man." Father said to me.

Artemis says. Everyone is quiet, and Silas is getting angry about what's going on. The other Elders are whispering to themselves about Artemis. "Max, Wolf of Silas, due to your part in all Silas has done, you are being sent to Oblivion. You will spend the rest of eternity in eternal pain and torment.

Thou shall not commit adultery. Her punishment? She shall have tormented passion for the rest of her life. It shall not stop; it shall find itself over and over again. And the tormented pain? She shall wake up, and I will not be there. She shall live her life wanting the thing that has brought her here…me.

So why did he display such a reaction? “I don’t know where you got this knowledge from. But if you are right – and I reckon that you are – then this Eternal has found a reason not to preserve himself or herself any longer. He or she has found a reason to suffer in eternal torment. And Eternals only have one reason to do anything.”
