Demyx had been traded to the devil. It was beyond belief, for his parents, who he thought loved him, had traded him for wealth. He vaguely remembered the deal. His parents talking to a man in a coat, whom he assumed was the devil. Trading Demyx in order to win the lottery twice. Demyx hoped they would be robbed. He was all alone now. No one to love him. Never to have a normal life.
He felt something on his cheek. He whipped it off and realized he was crying. Demyx wasn't one to cry, dad had always said tears showed weakness. Besides, back home there hadn't been any need for tears. Dem looked around at his new surroundings. It wasn't much. There was a gate, dead grass and a river. There were also people by the river and it became obvious to Demyx that they were surrounded by bees and wasps, and so Demyx carefully avoided them and went to read the inscription written on the gate. He read it aloud, " Abandon all hope, ye who enter." Suddenly the gate opened and a short man stepped out. He had slate hair that hung over one eye, whereas the other eye was deep blue. He wore a black floor length coat with chains dangling from it.
"Hello Demyx, it's nice to finally meet you in the flesh" " NICE?" Dem exclaimed, "I'm stuck in hell because of a deal my parents made with the devil! How is that nice?" The cloaked man smiled after Demyx finished his rant. "The deal I made with your parents was unusual, usually there's a catch for the person or people making the deal. I was surprised when they traded you instead. You sparked my interest so I agreed, and I also have a test for you. All you have to do is walk through the gate and then take the ferry that crosses the river Acheron". It took Demyx a while for this to process in his head. "If you are the devil, then why should I believe you?" "Because, I can guarantee your freedom if you complete the test. First you must only cross the gate."
Dem pondered this but realized this test was the best way to go. So he went through the gate which closed after he entered. "You", the devil said, "may call me Zexion". "Eh? But that doesn't make sense. I thought you-""I have different names according to different religions. I am most commonly known as Lucifer or Satan, but my real name is Zexion and I would prefer if you called me that, unless you prefer to call me master" Demyx glared at him. "I'll stick with Zexion. Tell me about the test now" "Oh...feisty and straight to the point, I like it. As for your test, I am presenting with a one of a kind challenge. I promise to guarantee your freedom if you can make it through all nine levels of hell without giving up or giving in to sin""Sounds...easy enough." Zexion laughed. "We'll see! I'll even stop by after each level to make sure how you're doing and to give you some... company." There seemed to be no sense in arguing, besides he was pass the gate, there was no turning back. "I agree"
