Sai landed somewhat gracefully, as the sudden wave of heat and such would come upon him from the area they were now in. He had expected to go many places over his travels but never into hell, so this was quite an experience really. He brushed himself off and looked to Bex. ”Well... what now then?” he asked, while stretching his sword arm.

Although many believed that hell was spanned in circles,it was only a myth..since many didn't survive to go through hell and come back alive.Afterlife was a mystery to all of us.One we could not find an answer to without dying.

I scanned around the area,taking each step consciously.The weakly crusted ground posed a threat to break apart any moment.

Hell..seemed rather lonely.There were hardly any demons in sight.Only a vast land with no end to it.A puzzle of randomly protruding bald mountains and steep pointed rods of semi solid crust.But just across these rocks and stony figures,voices could be heard.The language was alien to me as well.Very often screams and shrieks pinched through the ears,tearing apart the morbid silence.Only to calm themselves yet again.

"This place is too big.We'll need to search around for the door." I said..aware that this could take an almost infinite amount of time.

"Do you hear that?"I asked,as another screaming tortured soul yelped out.

Sai nodded to him, holding his sword ready for anything. This was hell and he didn't expect anything here to be easy. Though, the screams didn't exactly sound out of place to him. He wondered exactly what their goal was, since he had no idea. He hoped that Bex had a better plan than just 'look around'

(I haz no muse x.x)

Our only choice was to follow this sudden sign of life.After hours of walking,we arrived to what seemed the entrance to the inner depths of hell.The land surrounding us was barren,wasteful.As if all signs of life had been eradicated from earth itself.There were no monuments,no edifices,not even trees and grass.Only a long stretch of unending ground,formed off the crusted lava,streaming with the temperate yellow sludge,posing a thread to walk freely

The gate was guarded by 2 demon squeens.Both agile and lethal.Their entire was intoxicated by an unknown acid,with an instant effect.Just like a sword that cuts through flesh and skin,their purple toxic slime could easily disintegrate skin and bones in a fraction of a second,with the ease of a whip.But that was not even the beginning of the problem.The innards of hell would without a doubt pit us against demons of unimaginable strength.but as intruders we had to maintain a low profile.these demons were far to vile and sinful for absolutism.We would have to dispose them off without being noticed..in simple words...assassination.

This was better said than done,as the squeens,although dumb to their nerves,were still a formidable foe.

"Thats the way in.But we'll need to dispose of those squeens.Beware of their intoxicated bodies though.I would suggest you maintain a considerable distance.Also..we would have to do so..low profile" I said

It may have sounded foolish..and it could very well be that too.But it was our only hope to make it inside,without being detected.
