"The Angel of Pain has burnished skin the colour of bronze, which glows with heat; and her eyes are like fiery embers, which fade when sh is sad to the colur of the texture of ashes....The Angel of Pin has hands bedecked with black talons, whose points are curved and polished. Her grip is exceedingly powerful, but so sharp are her claws that even the most gentle of her caresses is likely to rend and lacerate. Whe she is most sincere, refined and delicate, the tracks of her affection are written in her lovers' blood.... Many are those who believe that the Angel of Pain is a creature of Hell, but there are some who learn to see her differently, who see purpose in her ministrations. For them,she is instead the ruling authority of Purgatory, and the justification of her harshness is to be sought in the hope of eventual transcendence."
