I don't own Highschool Dxd obviously.
This is my first fanfic, so it may not be amazing or anything.
I'll make it back home.
My body feels limp. I can hardly move my limbs, let alone feel them. But I cannot die, not only for my sake, but for Rias and everybody else! Maybe...I can lie down...
The curse...I'm starting to... feel it's ...full... effects. Don't...wor...rry...everybody...I won't...die...
I suddenly awake in a field fashioned with the color of blood and the smell of something burning. This place looks similar to the underworld...Oh my God!...I must have been killed, because this has to be Hell. I can't believe that I would be weak enough to die like that and leave everyone behind! I can't imagine Rias' reaction. It makes me want to go through death again.
[Partner? I can still hear you!]
What the hell? Ddraig, is that you?
[The one and only. I can faintly feel your presence, where are you?]
I'm pretty damn sure I'm in hell as of right now.
[Then I don't understand. How am I still connected to you if you are dead?]
Does it look like I have any idea? I've been wondering the same thing.
[This has never happened before...Are you still able to use your sacred gear?]
Let me try...
-BOOSTED GEAR!-
Yeah, Ddraig. I still can.
[This is perplexing... I can hear you fine, but I can't sense you very well.]
[[ THIS ISss OF MY DOING ]]
This voice...It echoes throughout my ears, and it sounds like Ddraig a little bit.
[Great Red! Why do you interfere with this, you know it is forbidden!]
[[ YESss.. BUT I CAN DO THISss, CAN I NOT? EVEN SsO, YOUR HOSsT... HE ISss AMUSsing.]]
Who is the Great Red? Is he another dragon?
[Is that the only reason? It seems unusual for you to make a decision such as this yourself]
[[ CORRECT... THISss DEVIL, HE HASss DONE ME GOOD THINGSss AND ISs INTERESsTING... IT Iss ALSsO NOT HISs TIME YET]]
Ddraig, who is this guy?
[Ssh! He's the Great Red dragon! He's way stronger than even me, and he has chosen you to live!]
Holy shit! I had no idea that I was even known by the strongest dragon!
[[ HoWEVER... I DO NOT HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER LIFE AND DEATH... YOU WILL HAVE TO SPEAK TO DEATH TO LIVE ONCE AGAIN]]
Death? What happens if I die in hell?
[[ DO NOT WORRY. DEATH RESsPECTss MY POWER AND WON'T DARE HARM YOU. HE ALSso WISsHeSs TO WITNESSss THE BATTLE BETWEEN YOU AND ALBION.]]
What's so important about Vali and I fighting anyways.
[Partner. This has never happened before! You are the first being, other than a dragon, to contact the Great Red in maybe forever!]
I didn't even know he existed. But from what he said it seems I can get back to the normal world. I need to get there as quickly as possible.
[Yes. Death will probably toy with you before letting you go, so watch your back. Great Red, how do we find Death?]
[[FoLLOW THE BLOODSsTAINED PATH... FAREWELL RED DRAGON EMPEROR.]]
The bloodstained path huh? Doesn't sound like a normal walk.
[Just be careful. Even though we're in Hell, time still passes like normal, so you shouldn't waste it here.]
Alright. I suppose I should be going then.
And with that, I set off on the path. The blood looked menacing, although it did not give off any kind of odor. All around me there was just an open field with different roads leading in all directions. The sky was similar to the Underworld, although it looks more like lava floating above me. Just about everything here is on fire, but I don't feel the heat. It feels like a hot summer day, but is is unexpectedly bearable. Whatever this place throws at me, I will definitely make it back home!
