The maws of the beast

Uriel was immersed in a whirpool caused by an unspeakable evil, one that not only consumed its victim's body but also their sanity. Although he was moving at a fast speed, the trip towards his enemy's maw was long due to its size and also due to the fact that he was taking laps around it rather than falling directly onto them.

However, Uriel found himself in a confounded state. It was as though his own brain turned against him and instead of providing any useful ideas or strategies to save himself, all he could think about was to simply let go and let the beast swallow his existence.

That was precisely what he did. He stopped fighting against the powerful current, he remained still and his heartbeat settled which gave him the chance to finally hear his own thoughts, not that it was a good thing.
