First Gate of Hell
" There it is the First Gate into Hell . " Chris Harris said as he came to the location where he had been pulled into the Pit by Asmodai . He looked at the thing with discuss and anger .
Chris sat in the shadows of the trees and put on the Silence Boots . He stood up summoning his Fallen armor to him and making sure the other weapons and items were ready to go . The katanas on his back , his several spears and hidden blades were ready if need be . He strapped Bonefreezer to his back , the bow that had been given to him by the Ice Elder and Aaron , the arrows magically appeared when he pulled on the string . Elvenking , the elven blade was fasten to his belt . Last but not least he put the magical book he had in one of his easy access pockets and threw the Shadow Cloak over his shoulders to make him invisible to the eye of both demons and spirits .
" Time to go . " Chris said to himself as he walked down the hill to the First of the Twelve Gates . He took the magical book and open the book to the last page . It lit up for a few minutes and the Gate number and location of the Gate on Earth appeared on the page of the book . Apparently the Shadow Cloak also blocks light because none of the demons noticed the bright light .
" This will be easier knowing that none of the demons noticed the light . " Chris thought to himself .
He looked at the large gate and then back at the hill he had come from wishing there might be another way to get his task done . But , he knew he had to enter into Hell itself in order to locate the other eleven of the Twelve Gates . So , without anymore hesitation or thought he stepped through the Gate into the Pit .
Task Location
" Everyone hault . " Zacharai the Ice Elder of the Wolverine ' s Den told the company with him . They did as he told them .
" Why are we stopping sir ? " Bobby Roode asked .
" You ' re not , but we are . You see that path ? " Zacharai said looking at the Wolverine Shaman while pointing out the path leading deep into the Forest of the Wolverine ' s Den .
" Yes , I do . Where does it lead ? " Roode asked the others were looking curiously at the path and then Roode and Zacharai .
" It leads to a special temple that was built in honor of the first Wolverine Shaman and as a sanctuary for the wolverines that care to take refuge in the Den . Not only is your task located in that temple , but it also holds valuable insight into who you are and about your wolverine partner , Wolborg . We can not follow you to the temple for this is a task ment for you and Wolborg , you are not allowed to receive any kind of help except from what we have already given you and Wolborg ' s aid . Good luck and may the heart of the wolverine go with you young warrior . " Zacharai said .
" I understand . Wolborg you ready to complete the task in front of us partner ? " Roode asked the wolverine beside him . He growled his readiness .
" Alright , see you guys later . " Roode said turning to his fellow wrestlers .
" Don ' t worry Bobby , you can get this done . " Jeff looked at him .
" Agreed , " Jay and Adam both said .
" Thanks guys . " He said and took off down the path to whatever awaited him .
" Getting to the temple will be his first task . " Zacharai said .
Before Roode got deeper into the forest he summoned his armor to him in case something attacked him and Wolborg . He also put the Frostclimber boots on his feet instead of his normal Shaman boots and tied Icebreaker to his belt .
" Now we are ready for anything Wolborg . " Roode looked down at his animal companion . Wolborg nodded his head yes that he understood what Roode was telling him .
" Then lets continue , because those Gates are not waiting on nobody and neither are the demons or Lucifer . " Roode said as he and Wolborg walked on to the temple .
Secluded House
Raven Fireheart and James Storm was following Aaron Riley to the secluded house so they could get rid of the pygmy worm in Raven ' s head . Aaron was leading them deep into the woods of Wolverine ' s Den .
" The trees are thick and well aged in here . How old is this place Aaron ? " James asked .
" It has been around since the Old Ways existed and no one has study the time frame to actually know the exact dates . But , some predict it was before the first Ice Age , some even think it was here not long after biblical times . I have heard talk that the Wolverine ' s Den was once above the surface , but a giant earthquake caused it to sink into a crater and life found away to adapt down here . The Ice Age caused the ice top protecting the Den . But , no one knows for sure how the Den came to be . A lot of it is just stories and questions . " Aaron said .
" Its beautiful here and in the natural world . Its like breathing in fresh air . " Raven said .
" Because it hasn ' t been touched with the industry of the outside world . Cities are built , power plants constructed , and other industrial projects , that give off smog and chemicals , that destroys and pollutes the air outside or kills off trees and species of creatures that were once apart of the outside world . " Aaron said .
They soon aproached a house in the middle of the woods .
" Well that was placed here for our convenience . " James said .
" That is where we will be staying at . " Aaron said .
" Secluded location . " Raven said .
" S ' mores anyone ? " James asked laughing to himself , but stopped when Aaron and Raven both looked at him .
" What ? " James asked .
" Nothing , " Raven said .
" Lets go inside . " Aaron said approaching the house . The two wrestlers followed him to the front door .
" Is it locked ? " Raven asked .
" Yes , but Salina and Zacharai gave me the key . Both , will be joining us once they take Roode and the others to where his task needs to be completed . " Aaron said taking the key out and unlocking the door .
" Go in . " Aaron said to them . They walked into the house and looked around .
" What was this place ? " James asked .
" It use to be one of the training station for the warriors and army of the Den . They would come out here and go over training exercises and missions , then go out to complete whatever the assignment was . But , overgrowth has long done away with the actual field used for shooting practice and military drills . I am pretty sure most of the furniture is still here like beds and stuff , but the armory downstairs is probably gone , too . " Aaron said .
" So , we are going to have to live off of the land then while we are out here ? " Raven asked .
" Probably . " Aaron said as a knock came at the door . Aaron checked outside to see Salina , he open the door to let her come in .
" You guys got here fast . " Salina said .
" The sooner the better , Salina . " Aaron said .
" I agree , this thing has been nothing but trouble since back in the hotel room . " Raven said .
" How did you not know about the creature ? " Salina asked .
" I never felt it and its not like it just came out and said hey I ' m a pygmy worm , one of the creatures of Hell , can I take up residence in your head . " Raven looked at her .
" Pygmy worms cause pain to the victim . You haven ' t been in any pain ? " Salina asked her again .
" No , I haven ' t felt anything . I have only had the two dreams of Hell and I thought it was just a dream the first time not a creature . " Raven answered .
" Any other problems since the first dream ? " Salina asked .
" Just the low energy back in the ruins . Could that have been caused by this thing in my head ? " Raven asked . James looked at her and then back at Salina and then at Aaron trying to understand what was going on .
" Not sure , but could have been . " Salina said .
" What is with all of the questions ? " James asked concerned .
" I ' m trying to figure out how long the pygmy worm has been in Raven and what kind of damage it has done . According to the Fallen Warrior he said its just in your dream room of your brain which is good news for all of us . It means that you will have no permanent damage caused by this thing just a few dreams eaten , but dreams you can get back , unlike memory loss or nerve damage . It will also make it easier to get out of your head , but once its out we have to destroy it first thing or it could carry information back to its master and the rest of the demons . " Salina said .
" How do we destroy it ? " James asked .
" The thing hates electricity . " Aaron hinted .
" What ? " Raven asked . Storm was look at him knowing what he was thinking .
" Aaron you can ' t be serious . " James said to him .
" Storm its the only way to get rid of the creature in Raven ' s head . " Aaron said .
" What are you two . . . ? Wait a minute are you saying that we are going to use Storm ' s electrical powers to get this thing out of my head ? " Raven asked .
" Yes , I am . Its the only way Raven , it shouldn ' t take much for it to come out and then to kill the thing . " Aaron said . Raven looked down thinking it over .
" No , No , and NO ! I won ' t do that . I could kill her and I promised Wildcat that nothing would happen to her . Aaron there has to be some other way ? " James asked .
" We searched every source we have for another way and there isn ' t one . Storm , the only way for her to be rid of that creature is by electricity . I wish there was another way and that we didn ' t have to do this , but that isn ' t the case . " Aaron said .
" James , do as he asks . " Raven said .
" Raven , I - I don ' t want to hurt you . I can ' t control my electrical powers yet and if I unleash them I could kill you . Don ' t ask me to risk that . " Storm looked at her with tears in his eyes .
" Hey , hey , you won ' t hurt me . You love me to much , but I need that same kind of love with this creature in me . I need you to be willing to do this for us . This creature could hurt everyone around me include you and me both . I don ' t want that to happen , so , please help me . I can take it , I am not the weak little phoenix from back at the cabin or my house . " Raven said putting her arms around him . She rubbed the side of his face to dry his tears .
" Yes , baby , anything for you . " James said hugging her closer to him .
" We will teach you how to mellow out your electrical energy while we are waiting on Zacharai to get back from taking your comrades to the Wolverine Shaman ' s task . " Salina said .
" I ' m ready . " Storm said .
" Its not that hard to do . You just need to learn how to control your emotions . Of course not all weather is caused by you which you will also learn sooner or later to turn off your ability to manipulate the weather . But , that is not the task for today . " Aaron said .
" Training time . " Raven said .
" Exactly , " Aaron said as Raven and James both looked at each other with a grin .
" Becareful who you mess with Aaron . James isn ' t a slouch by any means . " Raven said .
" Yeah , slouch doesn ' t really define me . " Storm agreed .
" Thunderbolt is bull headed and cocky , too . " Salina said shaking her head .
" Most stallions are . " James said .
" Reason I love him so much . " Raven said getting a smile from James .
" How would you describe him Raven ? " Aaron pointed at Storm .
" Wild Stallion , Free Spirit , and Swirling Tempest . " Raven said .
" Fair enough . " Aaron said .
" Sounds like me . " James said .
" Well let me show you where you will be training . " Salina said and led them outside and to the back of the house that had been set up for Storm and Raven .
Well looks like the stage has been set . Everyone knows the tasks before them and all three are very dangerous , more is on the way . Read and Review . Thx .
