Chapter 5: Torture With Promise

Twacky gulped as he over heard the conversation. He knew he was not on the Floating Island any more. He even feared that he was dead and that this was his afterlife. He pleaded to a God that he did not believe in that he was still alive as this looked less pleasent then he had hoped his afterlife would be. Then he realised that a black-furred echidna was walking towards him, eyes glowing a demonic red. Twackius cowered helplessly in the corner, unable to utter a word. The echidna reached forward, grabbing at his neck and lifting him into the air. He stared at him for a few moments not sayong a word. Then he suddenly screeched something that the raccoon could not understand. The cieling seemed to come alive as a thouand leathery-winged creatures descended on him, clawing and biting at him. Then suddenly the Echidna yelled again and it stopped, the creatures returning to their roost. TWacky took a deep breath and stared the Echidna in the eye.

"What the hell are you?" He yelled "Where the hell am I? What the hell are those things?"

The echidna punched him before replying to his questions. "I am Thomas, Prince of The Underworld, You are in the darkside of said Underworld and those are my minions," He said pointing to the creatures.

"Now have you had enough mortal?" The racoon nodded in reply, still trying to comprehend what had happened to him. Tom dropped him and to his suprise the Guardian folded before him, grabbing both of Twacky's legs. "Then please take me with you," The Dark Echidna was sobbing loudly "I don't wanna be here, I want to go up there where the living are."

Twackius Mortius Coon was faced with the easiest question he had ever been asked
