Innocence

Chapter 2 Into the Depths of Hell

Beyond the thin layer separating our world from the one below, that's all there was protecting us from an eternity of pain and torture. You can't imagine what it's like.
The smell of strong sulphur mixed with burning and rotting flesh. Fires engulfed everything cars, buildings, people. But he didn't care this was exactly how he liked it. The soil was as hot as the earths core. Walking barefoot would be impossible but not for him. He didn't feel pain, how could he ruling a place like this?

After a while of walking quietly he finally reached his destination.
Soldier demons crawled along the ground growling and spitting but they didn't dare touch him.
They thought THIS was Hell this was just the surface.
What lies beneath is the real Hell. Few have entered none have left except him of course. He descended the spiralling staircase of fire and ash. He was the only one able to use this terrible yet beautiful device. He was the only one able to walk through fire and emerge untouched on the other side.

This was the deepest circle of Hell, underground surrounded by rock insulating the torturing heat. Humans in chains where pushed and beaten by the fire demons holding them for their sins. In life they had done wrong in death they would pay an eternity of blood and sweat. Time passes slowest down here, he made sure of that.

Pool's of bubbling tar were scattered over the charred and scared cave. Howls of anguish could be heard filling him with pride and a sickening happiness. This was his job no, his hobby. What he loved most was the effect this place had on these 'humans'. They crawled on all fours howling and scratching much like the soldier demons above. He knew exactly where he was going and looked no more. He had important business. Quickly he turned approaching a tall being sniggering at a human in flames.
"The plans are in motion soon we will have more souls than we could ever imagine"
"Tut tut, now now my son don't get ahead of yourself I, AM the ruler here and I shall be the ruler on Earth!"
