Anakin, now donning a tattered black cloak he took from a damaged store, was heading to Imp City after his short delay. He took the cloak to disguise himself after seeing a billboard with the bounty on him being advertised on it, but with it now being increased to 10 million. So the possibility of someone spotting him to claim the bounty on his head was lowered. Reaching the entrance of Imp City, he picked up his pace , but not too much as to draw attention to himself.

When the large red building was in his view, he slowed his pace and stopped next to a nearby lamppost, leaning onto it to think of his plan. Observing the demons, he could see that the only way to use the elevator was a fee and he doesn't have any money on him. Looking to the far left side of the building, he could see a specific elevator for vehicles. Thinking he could either, A, Sneak under a vehicle and hope that it will drop him off to the Wrath Ring. Or B, Pickpocket someone and use the more comfortable route. He opted for option B.

Taking a moment, he waited in the same spot until a demon, on their phone, walked past him. Using the force, he pushed the phone out of the demon's hand and when the demon went to pick it up, he used the force to quickly pull out their wallet and started to walk to the main entrance to the building. Entering the building, he walked up to one of the booths and was greeted with a half asleep imp, lazily looking at a computer.

"Welcome, how may I help you." The imp said in a bored monotone voice.

"I need to get to the Wrath Ring." Anakin replied

The imp typed away on their computer, and after a few seconds they spoke back up " The fee is twenty-five souls."

Anakin complied, and opened up the wallet and handed the imp a 50. "Keep the change."

The imp thanked him, not even bothering to look away from the computer " Thanks. Head to elevator 6."

Anakin, shoving the wallet into a side pocket, headed to the elevator. When he saw the inside of it, he couldn't help but just look in disgust. There were empty bottles, bags, cans, and puddles of unknown liquids mixed together in the corners. The worst thing in the elevator was the stench. Taking a step in, he regretted not taking a pair of boots that he saw in the store as he thought they would be unnecessary.

When he fully entered the elevator, the doors closed on him and he started to go down. Once he reached the bottom and the door opened, he saw large crowds of imps lining up for the elevators. Not wanting for anyone to potentially see him, he hastily went for the exit of the building.

Once he was outside, hot air was blown onto him, nearly blowing off his hood if he didn't keep his hand on it. .Taking in his view, the most notable feature of the landscape was the many volcanoes with balls of lava above them and the large desert area. The view reminded Anakin about Mustafar and Tatooine, but that thought almost instantly vanished as he didn't want to remember those places right now. Unsure on what to do now, he went to a nearby bus stop and saw a map of the Ring.

Still unsure on where to go, he opened the Grimoire once more, but even that resulted in nothing. Taking a seat on a bench, he decided to meditate. Closing his eyes and folding his legs, he focused on the piece of the Mortis dagger he had, and looked for a similar signature to it. A few bystanders passed by, giving him strange looks, but nonetheless ignored him. A few minutes passed and he found out where to go next. Standing back up he started to walk straight forward, across the road and into a forest.

Walking through the forest, running his hand through leaves, smelling the fresh air. Anakin felt free, relaxed. Something he never felt in a long time. Seeing a blue luminous butterfly fly to him, his instincts were to keep away from it. But, it had an aura, a very calming aura. So putting a finger out, he let it land on his finger. He felt even calmer, much more than just now. If one were to look at Anakin's face, no one could tell what his emotions were, but right now he felt happy.

But all good things have to come to an end, as he heard loud growls nearby. With the butterfly flying away, Anakin looked to his surroundings and saw many quadrupedal beasts looking at him with hungry eyes. They looked like large pigs with black and red spots covering them.

With a wave of his hand, the beasts violently trashed in place, and after a few seconds, they retreated back into the forest.

-Luke and Charlie would probably be good friends
