Ascending to the second layer, a stench of nauseating breath expands across the zephyr. I attempt to avoid a cough and the opaque fog thickens as we reach an abrupt drop-off. Depicted below are frantic beings who have only the remembrance of anxiety, torment, and panicked feelings hiding amongst the remaining rubble in a soft whisper they beg for mercy, neglecting against their fatal, violent destruction on the vitality of the innocent. The scent swells to an intense sickening along with the dryness of incalescence. A low growl begins to rise! Traveling across the infinite distance, a foul creature comes to brutalize. The petrified beings cower in their hideouts and I hold my breath carefully as three giant, damp, and cold snouts emerge from the heavy smog. A rush of frigid wind washes over and I come to realize, it is the Watchdog. One risks a dangerous error in the act of running to the void, but the motion distracts the devious hunter. He strikes and pins the immoral, viciously tearing the flesh to pieces. Finally, taking him in the muzzle Cerberus violently tosses the limp body for it no longer contains value nor interest. And I ask my Lover very faintly: “What becomes of the one enduring torture?” And he, nonchalantly: “Don’t worry, my dearest. They have yet to regain their composure.” As we escape from the horror below to the unknown exceeding cruel, the dying mortal begins to regrow.

Canto III
Ascending to the second layer, a stench of nauseating breath expands across the zephyr. I attempt to avoid a cough and the opaque fog thickens as we reach an abrupt drop-off. Depicted below are frantic beings who have only the remembrance of anxiety, torment, and panicked feelings hiding amongst the remaining rubble in a soft whisper they beg for mercy, neglecting against their fatal, violent destruction on the vitality of the innocent. The scent swells to an intense sickening along with the dryness of incalescence. A low growl begins to rise! Traveling across the infinite distance, a foul creature comes to brutalize. The petrified beings cower in their hideouts and I hold my breath carefully as three giant, damp, and cold snouts emerge from the heavy smog. A rush of frigid wind washes over and I come to realize, it is the Watchdog. One risks a dangerous error in the act of running to the void, but the motion distracts the devious hunter.
