AN: Expect grammar mistakes as I am terrible at grammar

I couldn't believe it, Angles were losing the war and now suffer the aftermath of a small population. I couldn't believe that those damned Fallen Angels, they were willing to go to war against their father the one who created them, why would they even fall in the first place, God has been merciful and giving to all of his children. Those heretics will taste my blade if any one of them decides to cross my path. "What of the devils?" they are terrible creatures alluring men and women sway away from God, corrupting them in sin 'Hopefully, they had died off.' "They were the ones that came out of the war the worst, while the other fraction still has some of their leaders the devil lost the four satans that govern them.

With the satans dead their heirs decided that they would continue the war with the Angels that their predecessors started, but another group of Devils was against it resulting in a Civil War among Devils." 'So the Devils are doing the worst out of the three.' "Demons reclaimed most of the nine circles of hell when the devils were at the weakest. When they took over, they placed newly formed demons as the guardians of each circle. With their now low numbers, they fled into the more habitable parts of Hell, leaving these places in control of the Demons."

I scoffed at the new information "I do not care who controls Hell, I am only looking for a way out of the reached place." They stayed silent, knowing the answer was I yelled at everyone in the room. "Does anyone know how the escape Hell!" Everyone looked towards my direction, but none of them gave me an answer. "I might have an answer towards your question" Another ghostly figure made it presents know to me. He wore an ordinary roman toga, but had a breastplate over the toga, the breastplate was designed, so that it looked like it had vanes on it, he had a long rag draped over his shoulders. His face was the unique part of him, a crown of metal leaves, dug into his head, vanes came down from, where the leaves pierced his head, the vanes covered most of his face. He carries a shepherd staff with a dream catcher design in the hook, (I am not got at describing how people look, If need a clear picture google Virgil from Dante's Inferno it would be the second image)

I looked at him, expecting an answer, but then I remember I didn't give out my name. "Sorry, my name is Elijah, and I was wrongfully placed here." I could see him raise "Many have claimed that they were wrongfully placed here, but most if not all belong rather if they liked it or not" I know that the damned in hell would be suspicious about me. "Look I know I haven't done anything to warrant my place here... I do not know if you could tell if my soul is pure, but all I ask of you is to trust me." I stared at him for a while hoping that he doesn't take me as one of the damned. "It has seemed that you already have proven yourself as a worthy soul, you have prayed to God while in Hell yet he had answered your prayer" I felt relief wash over my face as I heard those words.

I knelt down on my knee, I was trying to replicate what I thought people did back in the older times. "Oh, spirit I beg of you to guide me to freedom." "I will guide you, but you must put away any division of spirit and gather your soul against all fear." I stood up "Thank you spirit may I ask you, your name cause calling you 'spirit' would be tiring." "You may know me as Virgil" I extend a hand out to him, I stayed like for a couple of seconds it felt awkward. I looked at him, he had had one eyebrow raised and was giving my hand a questionable look. I immediately brought my hand down, I was glad that I had my helmet on or he could see the embarrassed look on my face.

Virgil had guided me throughout hell, I did not know where he would lead, but I had faith it would be towards my escape. We ventured across a long narrow bridge that was thousands of feet above the ground, traveled on huge chains that linked from one rock tower to another. Nothing happened during our adventure together, but I got for information about the places I have already been. The forest where I found my new shield is where those that didn't sin but did not the required hate to join our father in heaven and now I know why the trees look like human appendages.

The worst part I learned how babies were brought there, Virgil told me that they were unbaptized babies that either died or they were babies that died during childbirth. The true gate through the true faith was never shown to them. Limbo shows no mercy for these babes. The rest of our journey was in silent once I learned about the true fate of those babies.

Our journey has gotten boring now since we weren't talking about anything, we are now walking in one of those rock towers. They were rock pillars that were carved in to look like towers. "So, Virgil can you tell me about yourself." "I was the son of a commoner, I lived during the time of the lying and false gods. And though I died more than a dozen years before the birth of Christ, I foretold his coming in my works." I was confused 'if he foretold the birth of the lord, why is he here.' "Virgil, why are you here if told the people about Christ." My eyebrow scrunched up wondering what the reason would be "I was never baptized, therefore I could not enter heaven, but since I lived a good life I was placed among the virtuous pagans in the Hall of Kings within the circle of Limbo." I stopped in my tracks he was helping me I should do the same.

I looked at Virgil back in pity, I ran to catch up with him before I lose sight of him "Virgil, was there anyone who pass here and later escaped Hell" "I once saw the Might One crowned with victory, take here the shade of our first parent, of his son Abel, of Abraham and others. But before these, no soul was ever saved." "Hey Virgil since you are helping me escape Hell, I was thinking about repaying you. So is there any way to get you out of here?" "It is rare for one to leave Hell, but impossible for those already dead as they cannot repent for their sins like the living."

I came to another large chain to walk across, this thing was terrifying at first so much that I refuse to walk on it, but Virgil told me that I would have to walk on these things a lot I just expected it and ventured on. "But I am also dead" I retorted "You are different you died, but still have a mortal body, unlike I am just a spirit." I looked up at the sky I was thinking about a way to help him. Unlike the mortal world the here the sky has no clouds nor a sun the fill it instead it has to float platforms of earth, they are chained to each other and the rock towers. An idea comes to mind 'If someone from Hell can help me escape than someone from Heaven can help me bring Virgil to Heaven.' I thought it was a full proof plan if I ask God I could save Virgil from this terrible fate.

We had reached the massive tower it was unlike the others this one was placed at the edge of Limbo. "MURDER" a booming voice echo throughout the tower. Virgil might have sensed my confusion thought it was time to explain before I would face the accursed demon "Beyond Limbo is the fallen King Minos, judge of the damned. Those the stay in Limbo stay has for the rest, he sentences them to the circles below" Inside the tower laid a spiral all the way up the wall has a carving of the damned screaming as they fall into the lower circles. "SUICIDE." The next floor didn't have anything special about it looked like a normal medieval hallway, going forth I found a path that leads deeper into the tower.

A door demon blocked the path, no the door did look demonic but instead was a breathing demon door. "HERCY." The demon door looked like an upper torso of a regular demon, it wings carved into the door, and the rest of its body was sticking out of the door. Its eyes and where the area where the belly button would be were glowing yellow. (For a clear picture google Dante's inferno demon door) "Virgil, do you know how to open this door" I looked at him for answers. "Like any other door, it will open with a key." 'Uhh, Virgil couldn't you just give me the answer instead.' I put my head down thinking of an answer 'Maybe I have to go back and find a key?' I couldn't be bothered to do that, it would mean that I have to walk down the stair then walk up the stair again to find the key instead I stab the door demon with my sword. It started to scream, and it tried to pull out the sword I had to use all my strength the leave my sword inside me and demon had a contest of strength, but I had enough of it, so I push my sword all the way up to its chest while my sword was inside the demon. With the demon now dead the door shot upwards Leaving the path open.

The room had many pillars around the room, the thing that caught my eye was a statue of a pregnant lady laying down. The stomach part of the statue was curved into a bed with one of those demonic babies was laying there, the thing was resting under a fire in which nothing was burned or damaged. *Baby squeal* I think it heard me as the thing rolled over to get out of its bed, it acted like a normal baby, but it would not fool me. It walked closer to me spreading its blade-like arms wide like a baby wanting to pick it up. As soon the demon was in reach I swiped my sword across severing its head from the body.

Trapdoors opened at the based of the pillars revealing more demonic babies, they circled me with their bladed arms open. I quickly ran at the one in front of me I slashed down cutting the demon in half, The other demons spread out has I killed one of their kin. Both I and the demons waited for each other to attack, one of them decide to jump at me. Instantly I brought shielded my head to cover my head from the attack. The demon used its curved blades to stick onto the shield making it heavier the wield, I bashed the demon against the wall smashing its head in the process.

The demons that we left gave out an ear piercing screech, they all charged me using their blades like stilts. I kicked one of the demons head like a football, successfully kick its head off into another baby stunning it. I now thought how easy these things could die if I can kick its head off. I turned to the lone baby who was charging at me, I raised my right foot and waited for the thing to come close when it was right under my foot I brought it down pinning the baby by the head with my foot.

The baby squirmed trying to free itself, I continued to put more pressure on foot to squish the head "AHH" the thing was stabbing my foot I bit my lip try to deal with the pain. I put more pressure until *Crack* I look under my foot to see the baby's head crushed the grey matter and blood splatter all over the floor. The area where my foot was curved in, the eye looked like they popped outwards too all in all it looks like a pumpkin after you step on it. I walked towards the last demon, it was struggling to get off its back like a turtle. I brought my shield down impaling and killing the last demon.

I walked out of the room to a spiral hallway, a door demon blocked another while the hallway spiraled upwards. I behind the demon was the hallway that leads to a platform outside. A metal pole ran across the new hallway, metal blades covered the pole, stone gear were at the end of the pole making it spin down and up the slope. I was stomped there was no way from me to get over the trap, as I can't jump over it or stop it. I came up with an idea while looking at the trap I saw that the stones made it possible to travel up and down the slope, so all I have to do is to stop the gears.

I looked in the room for anything that I could put it between the gear. I went back to the room where I found the sleeping baby. I picked up one of the baby corpses by the head and brought with me to the trap, I place the whole body in the path of the gear. I placed my foot on the head I made sure not to crush it when the gear came it ground the legs and the torso of the baby into mush it stopped when it reached the baby's blade. The spinning trap came to a halt, I walked over the rod by passing the blades.

I walked on the walkway heavy winds blow as the statement to high up I am, fire blows were decorated on the stone railing. I walked towards the circular platform, a hollowed figure curled up a white light glowing from the figure. I walked closer to the figure to hear it begging, but I couldn't hear any words she was mumbling. Virgil appeared next to the hollow looking down on it with a disappointed face he then faced me. "This hollow was Electra a Mycenean princess, the daughter of King Agamemnon. She killed her mother to avenge her father's wrongful death.

Though her actions are virtuous, they are done without an understanding of God or His will. As such, damned to Hell, Electra served her punishment which was to finally know the wrath of God whom she was ignorant about while she was alive." I looked down I thought that her killing her father out of the revenge that of killing other people or in this case her mother.

I shook my head I wanted to help this poor soul for it doesn't belong here, I placed one of my hands on her head. "Dear heavenly father, I pray for you today that they may save this soul, as she has suffered enough here in this place. I could not bear it in my heart to see her in this place rotting for all eternity for she avenged her father wrongful death something I would think is noble.

I ask thee heaven father that you give this spirit a more chance and send her with the rest of your children in heaven. I pray in the name of thy son Jesus Christ." A white light shined down on her, lifting her up into the light. "The Divine light of Justice" I heard her mumble, her hollow form broke down until it became one with the light and disappeared leaving no evidence of her or the light behind.

I walked back to the spiral hallway, walking up I found a couple of hollow on fire they had noticed me and started to run at me waving their arms like a madman. I immediately equipped my shield to block whatever attack the hollows were going to throw at me, as soon as one of the hollows came near me it exploded flinging me against the wall.

The explosion caused a chain reaction as once the hollow exploded the other soon followed after leaving ash makers and human remains all over the hallway. I looked at my health bar I wasn't surprised when I saw that only less of a quarter of my health was left. I stood up, and I took two sips of the Estus Flask I look at my health to see the bar fill up to full.

I once again began my journey upwards to the top of the tower, the end of the hallway leads outside. The wind was blowing heavy, and storm clouds filled the sky "GLUTTONY" lightning strike down as the loud voice yelled the out sin. Walking to the edge of the platform I could see a demon larger than any than any house I ever saw it stood between two huge colosseum walls, I couldn't see the demon the clearly, but I found a platform to get closer to the demon. I ran to the platform but it has seems that it was broken and it was impossible for me to get up there.

Looking for a way to get there I ran around the tower, a large humanoid demon spotted me, the demon had an ashen skin color the legs were that of a goat, it had horns that were 2 meters long that curved on the top. The demon wore bones of human around its neck like a necklace with a skull in the middle, it had a loincloth with decorated bones on it, it had a had a weapon that looked like the child of a sword and a saw. (If need help picture it, google Dante's inferno guardian demon)

The demon ran straight at me dragging his blade on the floor, as he came closer to me he lifted his blade with both of his hands and brought it down in a large arc, I saw to move coming for a mile away and roll out of the path of the sword.

I saw that the demon was having trouble retrieving its sword from the ground, I took the opportunity to run around the demon to give it a backstab. Stabbing my sword through the demon's chest but before I could grab my sword, the thing stood up surprising me that I was knocked off with my sword still in the demon's chest.

The demon roared at me in anger, he then charged at me shoving me to the ground I felt like a turtle on its back it was hard for me to get back up with the armor on me. He looked down at me like the thing has won and I was but a bug beneath his foot, I became furious at that how could this demon look at me like that.

The demon brought one of its foot down unto my chest, it was craving into the pressure my chest was hurting, and my breathing became more and more scarce. In a panic, I began to hit the demons leg with me shield try to pry off the pressure off my chest it didn't work as the demon leg still pressed on my chest.

It was now starting to hurt even to breathe I banged the demon 's leg with my shield hard and faster, as I drew one more breath I hit the demon behind its knee bending it relieving some pressure off my chest I rolled on my side pushing the demon leg off me and making the demon fall. I rolled my stomach, and I tried to get up but end up vomiting whatever food I had left in my stomach, the demon seemed to get up the same time I did.

I brought my shield up and waited for the demon to attack me, without my sword, I couldn't hurt the thing. The demon stomped one of its foot down and screamed at my face. It brought its sword to the side charged the strike once I saw the swing incoming I placed my shield in the center of my body and whacked the sword away leaving the demon stunned.

I brought in my left arm as close to my chest as I could then I shoved the demon making it lose its balance and fall down. I ran to its back to get my sword for its back, once I got my sword I slice through the demon's neck ending its pitiful life white mist came from the corpse flowed into me.

My health was destroyed during the fight, but I had survived lower health before I only took one sip from the estus flask bring my health above half. I wanted to take another sip but I couldn't since it would leave me with only one sip before there was none left. I found a door demon on the side of the wall, killing it opened up to a new room. See that there were no demons in the room I looked around the room to find any dark souls items like the [Gras Crest Shield] but found none.

As I looked around the room I noticed that the room was separated into two one half of the room was walkable and had a slope in the middle of the room There are statues were placed all over with one of the statues placed on the slope. The other half was filled with lava, having it flow down from the ceiling into two huge black iron crucible in which they were overflowing with lava.

I walked to the slope it looked like a alter with two fire blows on the side followed up with metal spikes, in the middle of all that was a statue made bronze, it depicted a man full in rope sitting on a throne above human bodies and skulls.

I was to ingross at the statue to noticed that Virgil appeared next to me "Saladin..." I jumped and grabbed the hilt of my sword back when I learned someone was next to me, I relaxed when I saw Virgil at the next to the spot I was standing at. "Virgil, can you at least tell me when you appear like that again." He face was stone cold there was little to none emotion "Now is not the time be frightened" I followed his gaze back to the statue "The legendary Kurd who retained the Holy City. From whom not even the brave lion hearth could not wrest it back" "Virgil, who was Saladin" I never heard about them in any of the books at the orphanage. "Saladin was the leader of the great Islamic army the Kurds that occupied the Holy City. They fought off the crusaders whom tried to reclaimed the Holy Land."

I walked over to the statue my metal gauntlet glided over the metal carvings I stopped and placed my hands over the side of the statue. I thought about the crusades I don't know a lot about it the only thing that I do know is that they were considered holy wars, that knights of the church came and ventured off the Jerusalem. I looked back at Virgil "Virgil do you know anything about the crusaders?" Virgil gave a thoughtful look before answering, sat down leaning on the statue. "It is common knowledge that the crusaders are knights that fought for the church to reclaim Jerusalem, although it was not mostly knights.

People born for a common birth join to crusades to reclaim the holy land. Do not think they did it for money or another worldly possession, in fact, they were one of the poorest people. They gave most if not all belonging to the church and live off the teachings of the church. Now You may think that the Knights of Templar are made up of holy men with but don't be fooled there were some noble looking to join the crusades for personal gain, there were also members of the church taking money from the church to satisfy their own desire." "Heretics" I mumbled under my breath, I closed and began thinking about the thing the heretic did to us.

Flashback

It was night time on the fourth day that Brett and I came to our new 'home' the priest has been kind to us by given us new clothes to replace the old one that the orphanage gave us. We dressed in formal church with a white coat that had a cross design on it, he also gave us a necklace that had a silver cross on it.

Our new life was worst than before as there was nothing to do during the day no book, no going outside we were trapped inside our new 'home' many kids were scared. I could understand that they were taken from their homes that they knew for their whole life and now there are at a new 'home' where it is less welcoming and less joyful than their old home.

I was currently laying down on my bed, Brett and I were lucky that we shared a bunk bed together I got the bottom bunk while Brett got the top bunk. "Hey, Elijah" I looked up to Brett's bed "yeah" "Do you think we would be able to visit our old orphanage" "I don't see why not." The priest has been kind to us even though he looks creepy I am sure that as a priest he is a kind-hearted person that would let us visit our old home. *Yawn* I turned my body sideways "Good night" I muttered I couldn't hear Brett's reply, but I was too tired to care.

Once I woke up I realized that wasn't in my bed I was unable to move my arms or legs, I looked at my arms and legs to see that they were strapped down. I frantically looked around the place I saw a small container filled with a weird green liquid in it. "Oh, looks like someone is awake" I turned to the voice, I saw the priest, but instead of the usually creepy smile, he had a wicked grin. His were eyes were the ones that send shivers down my spine the eyes were slightly open that I could bearly see them but the feeling it gave me it was like he didn't think has me as another living being but a project of his. He brought a mask that had a tube connected to it looked like the ones that the doctors use the make a patient go to sleep.

The priest grabbed a metal tube and slowly pushed it- it hurts it hurts it hurts It Hurt It HURTS IT HURTS. The pain is unbearable it was 100 times worse than a shot (needle kind) yellow liquid filled the tube it flowed inside my arm. I screamed as loud as I could I tried as I flail my arms around to get the metal tube out, but they were bound by the table, tears formed in the corner of my eyes making my vision watery.

I looked at the priest he spread his arms wide and started to laugh at my pain, he turned the knob on the gas container I heard the gas leak into the tube that was connected to my mask. Slowly the pain began to numb as that happened my eyelids became heavy, and soon enough I couldn't feel or see anything.
