Hodr...he feels like he is lying down on top of something. It was not unpleasant, but it was not comfortable either. His eyes are now closed, as he is laying on top of his back. He was silent for a little bit, but then, he felt the red shine of the sun touch his face. This made Hodr open his eyes for a little bit, as he then stood up, and he then looks around to see where he is at...only to see that he is inside of a room of a certain building full of IMPs and Hellhound.
Hodr gazes at the sight before his eyes, gazed around at the area that he is in, before he then spoke out.
"Huh...I wonder what I am needed for this time."
Hodr stood up onto the bed, as he stretched a little bit, as he then went off of the bed and he stood up in order to stretch a little bit. It has been a week since he had been taken into I.M.P, as a new member of the entire company. And the days at I.M.P have became a little bit...interesting, to say the least. They had trained him in being able to fire guns, and they even helped him in stuff such as hand-to-hand combat, and this form of it is a bit more thorough then the one he is taught, much more direct. Of course, only Millie and Moxxie are of help in teaching him properly, as Blitzø is a little bit immature and unethical to teach him, although he is able to help prepare his stuff to be considered an I.M.P Employee, and Loona is too lazy, not to mention does not seem to care much about him.
And while he is taught in I.M.P, he is not willing to eat the food the Hell has, and thus, he often makes portals back to the living world in order to smuggle some food out, and cook them by himself. Thankfully, he is able to practice cooking, and is able to cook some food that he can eat. And also...he is growing a little bit taller. Before, he is simply at the height of 4'12, but after a week of training with I.M.P, he is now at the height of what must be 5'0. Despite this, he is still rather shorter compared Loona, who is much taller then him, possibly a foot taller.
As he stretched his arms a little bit, a voice then spoke out to him.
"Well, well, well, it seems that the sleeping prince has risen again."
This made Hodr sigh, as he then turns around and sees that Loki has came back. He looks partly the same as last time, however, there is major differences in his appearance that was not seen before to Hodr, although he is clearly not that surprised. Loki's Bull Horns above his ears are now gone. And now, there is another appendage coming out from atop of his head. Replacing the Bull Horns, are now Antlers that resembles those of the Norwegian Red Deer. He does still have the Ram Horns, although the horns are now in between some of the branches of the Deer Antlers. The Antlers are glowing white just as much as the Ram Horns. His hair also appears different, now appearing to wave in some areas in movement similar to fire, even though the hair is hanging down from his head. He still keeps the Demon Tail, though, and the tips of his fingers are white. But his legs are different. Now they resemble that of a Deer's, meaning that he has hind legs and his feet are replaced with hooves. He also seems to be taller then before, by about 2 feet, meaning that he has about 6'12 Foot in height, with his arms also extending in length to fit this new height that he has. The ears also resemble the ears of a Deer a little bit more then before, even having fur on the back of the ears themselves.
"Oh, hey Loki. I see you decided to change your appearance again."
Loki shrugged his shoulders a little bit, as he then spoke out.
"What can I say? I just love to change my appearance, almost like doing a fashion sense for myself."
Hodr nodded, as he then spoken out.
"I see."
He then looks out the window of the building, he is deep in thought in all that he is seeing, as he puts his hand over his mouth. The rope is still on his neck, dangling between his knee and ankle. He looks down and sees the Imps out on the streets, homeless, as well as some demons that are picking on them and treating them like trash. Hodr sighed, as he stepped back from the window, and Loki then spoke out.
"Still thinking about whether it is worth staying in Hell, huh?"
Hodr looks at Loki, as he then spoke out.
"Something like that, especially since I find it surprising that the demons of Hell can be friendly and helpful in some ways, even though they are supposed to be creature that embody the sins of others."
Loki then shrugged his shoulders, as he then sat down onto the bed, before he then spoke out.
"Well, it should be surprisingly, but we have seen Humans that turn out to be as bad, if not worse, then the demons we have seen, it should just be factual that we can encounter some good shit."
Hodr nodded his head. It is true, Loki and Hodr had met some fucked up humans back in the living world, such as a pare of immoral and remorseless inventors that experiment on those below him, a family that are willing rape and force people that they want to be with them, and his Old Friend and her family...when Hodr thinks about her, he gripped onto his Locket, as if afraid that it will disappear from his neck. His mouth curled into a look of sad grimace once more, almost like he is recalling the what must have been the absolutely horrific moment of his life, as he shook a little bit. C him But he then stopped, as he shook his head, before he then spoke out.
"Well, I can't pay attention to that right now. Because I think that the other members of I.M.P are waiting for me, and I don't want to take too long."
Loki nodded, as he spoke out.
"Sure, and grab onto that wolf's tail while we're at it!"
Hodr shook his head, meaning no, as he then goes to the drawer, and he picked up the outfit that he had worn still for so long. Although, the outfit now has one new appearance on it. On the front of the left side of the jacket, the company's logo and title is present. As they cannot find any clothes that are able to fit Hodr's size, they instead modified his clothing a little bit, as well as repair the damage that the clothes has gained. Although Hodr has insisted that they do not need to do that, they were persistent, and fixed it. So now the holes have been stitched, although the knee part of is pants looks a little bit tighter at the bottom, and he even had a tiny bit of difficulty fitting his feet in, but he still manages to do it.
After he puts on his clothes, he looks into a broken mirror, that Blitzø had gotten from an alleyway a couple of days back, and with his lights on, he gets to see how he looks. He looks all over his body, and from his back side, in order to see his whole appearance. After a minute of looking, he sighed, as he then spoke out.
"Well, nothing out of the ordinary. I think I'm fine."
He then looks down at his body, and he sees the locket around his neck. He slept with it on, as he wants it close to him at all times. He looks sad, as he clenched his hand over the locket, almost as if he is afraid that something bad might happen to it. Thankfully, it still stays on. Hodr then turned to the door, as he then decided that he had waited long enough. It is time to go and meet them. He goes down to to stairs, his footsteps creaking against the steps underneath him, and he does this slowly and carefully, almost as if he is afraid that the steps would give away and he would be stuck. A lot of thoughts are running through his mind, now that he is in Hell, which is not what he expects, as he goes to the door, and opens it, and he entered the main room of I.M.P.
It resembles the same as before, with the couch and all of that, but now there is a tank full of eels. Present in the room is Loona, Moxxie, and Millie, as Moxxie then noticed Hodr, before he then spoke out.
"Oh, Hello Hodr. I see you're awake."
Hodr nodded silently, before he then spoke out.
"Where's Blitzø?"
Millie then took the turn to speak out.
"Oh, abou' that! He is taking the time to speak to our new client, who's now hiring us for a kill!
Hodr nodded silently, as he took a deep breath, and he learned against the wall near the door, and he looks down, thinking about how his life changed inside of his mind. Than, Millie spoke out to Hodr.
"Also, you're just in time to see Moxxie practice how to kill!"
She seems to be excited about it, although Hodr didn't seem to react to it. In fact, all he felt was being a little uncomfortable from hearing that, although he did not seem to care.
"Ummm, okay. So what is shooting?"
Moxxie also realized this, and spoke out.
"Yeah. I just realized that. Thank you, Hodr, for reminding me. So what is my target for practice?"
Millie then spoke out.
"I'm glad you asked!"
She went into a closet of some sort, and after a minute, she got out, and pulls out a photo of a human family that seemed, a little to happy.
"A Family Photo!"
This made Moxxie a little bit uneasy, as he then spoke out.
"Wait, I'm gonna shoot that?!"
Millie nodded, as she goes to Loona and spoke out.
"Hey, Loona, mind holdin' this so Mox can shoot?"
Loona leans and lies down onto the ground, grabs the photo and holds it up, as she spoke out.
"Whatever. Just make this shit quick. I don't want to hold this fucking little paper in the air."
Moxxie was a little uncertain, as Millie hands Moxxie a crossbow with an arrow, as Moxxie looks uncertain at this. Hodr simply looks at the scene before, as he spoke out.
"Haaaaa...where did my life go to?"
Behind the door that leads to an office, Blitzø is sitting onto a chair behind a counter. But he is a not alone. There is someone inside of the office with him. A sinner, a soul of a human that died and became damned to hell when one committed sin and died, is also present. She is covered in shadows, but her features are seen. She has long hair, horns on top of her head that arch upwards, hooves for feet that resembles that of a goat, and a tail similar to that of an Imp. She also has pointed ears present. A cigarette is lit in one of her hands, and some of the light touched a tiny bit of her skin, revealing it to be purple. The client introduced herself as Mrs. Mayberry. She then spoke out to Blitzø.
"I once used to be a good, fucking person, before the rest of my life went down to shit."
Blitzø look disinterested, almost to the point that he is annoyed, as from some of the clients that he has heard, they used to be good people to, only for it to go wrong. He is always disinterested to hear about the lives of what they were like as human, but he listens to them anyway, as he hears what this client has to say to him.
"Back when I was alive...I admit...I had some issues. Had a fucked up bad sometimes, can be hypocritical in what I say...but...it didn't stop me from what I loved to do the most: teaching the kids that I adored in the school I once used to work in."
She looked down, her eyes glowed, revealing them to be red wit yellow pupils, as she spoke out.
"My life, it was given purpose, and even with the fucked up parts of me, it did not get in the way that I had a lot passion in on the job. It even made me smile when my students sing for me. I thought my life would be better, that it would be one that I would cherish. But then...one day changed it all. The day that was meant to be my husband's birthday."
The Sinner narrowed her eyes in pure hate and rage, remembering all that has happened, but kept her composure and tone, as she speaks out to Blitzø.
"Normally, I'd feeling like a fucking bitch for forgetting my husband's birthday. I'd feel bad for making his special day the worst. And when my students reminded me of that, I quickly rushed to make a special message in a computer I had."
The sinner scoffed, as she continued with seething poison in her tone.
"Never did I imagine that my own husband, who I had been faithful to, for such a fucking long time, would be the one to break my heart. If I hadn't, I'd probably not found out about the bastard's cheating, chainsaw and shotgun in hand, and slaughter...with my students watching what I had done. Made me feel like shit even more, since I killer myself in front of them in pure shame.
The Sinner then made a sad expression in her eyes, and frowned a little bit more, a look of remorse on her face, before she hardens herself, and she then continued to speak out.
"You do everything in life. Every, single, fucking, thing, and when it comes to a single act of sin, one out of pure, uncontrollable wrath...you get sent down to a home of Hitlers and Stalins, a place of dictators and conquered. Even when you are a mostly good person that did nothing that was truly cruel."
Ever since she had died, Mrs. Mayberry is forced to learn a hard truth how to get to Hell in death. It doesn't need to take much in order to into the realm of the damned. All it takes is a single mess up, one single slip on the floor, and all of it comes crashing down on top of you. It didn't matter, whether you are a tricky fucking good person, or whether you are remorseful. Just a single slip, and you're out.
And now, she is in I.M.P, the one place that will hopefully help her in her desire to take what she had lost. Blitzø, however, didn't seem sympathetic, and looked even a little but bored, as Mrs. Mayberry took a smoke, as she then spoke out.
"After one measly massacre propelled by blind rage."
She turns to Blitzø, as she walks up to him.
"So, that's why I'm here. To get my revenge."
As she stepped closer, her appearance is finally revealed in the light. Her body shape is the same hand when she was still human, but Mrs. Mayberry now has silver hair, a pink shirt and black skirt that is torn, with a red jewel on it, and has yellow teeth. Her Violet skin reveals, and she now, lacks a nose. Blitzø did not seem to feel caring to her, as he then spoke out.
"I mean, was she hotter? I'm just saying I had a really hard time understanding the unprompted melodrama you just spat out at me, tits.?"
Mrs. Mayberry got mad, her teeth baring and clenched, as a red glow comes out of her eyes, and another glow surround her entire body, her hair waving upwards, as Blitzø sits down onto his chair and continued to mock her.
"See, we take revenge out on the living, and it sounds like the core cast of your sitcom of death…"
He then gets close to her face, as he then spoke out.
"Frankly are all probably down here in Hell with you."
He then extended his finger and pokes in the place where her nose should be, followed by a boop sound from him. But Mrs. Mayberry wasn't done, as she snapped her cigarette with her bare hands, and slammed one of her claws onto the desk, this time scaring Blitzø, as she snarled.
"Not, all of them. The only one that I killed was my bastard of a husband, who's in hell with me. The man-fucking whore somehow survived me trying to kill her, and now, she's got it made."
Although she had manage to kill her husband, she didn't go through with killing the woman, who is named, Martha. only injuring her badly. She would have killed her had the thought of seeing of her students are watching entered her mind, and even then, she was so close into doing it.
"Surviving my slaughter to her somehow made her get a big, fatass recognition for her. She got a big, fucking check, she got my own students to adore her, even though they had seen what she had done, and worse, she is called a hero by many!"
Losing her composure, she slammed both of her fists into Blitzø's desk, as she roared out at his face, her voice echoing from the rage stored within her, now releasing onto Blitzø for mocking her and assuming that her victims died.
"SHE IS NOT. A. HERO!"
Blitzø sat back, now having a look of fear on his face, as his potential client is ready to attack her. He then looks at Mrs. Mayberry face of pure wrath, as he nodded his head, and put up a nervous smile.
"Mm-hmm. Yeah, my thoughts exactly! Okay, we'll...get it done!"
He then pressed a button on his desk, called, deranged client. The light above the word shines. This is gonna be a big day for Blitzø.
Hodr is sighing, as stares at the scene before him. Moxxie is holding the crossbow very weakly, mainly due to the fact that he is very hesitant to take down a picture that shows a family. One that seemed innocent and happy. Hodr snorted, as Loki then appeared, looking at Moxxie with a confused expression, before he then spoke out.
"Geez, he must have been holding it for, I don't know, 3 minutes?"
Hodr nodded his head, as Loki spoke out.
"Moxxie really need to get his shit straight. It's just a fucking family photo. What's it gonna do? Attack him?"
Hodr shook his head, as he whispered.
"No. If I were to believe, Moxxie does not kill families that look innocent."
Hodr looks down, as he crossed his arms, before speaking out.
"Well, innocence may have went down the drain. That concept died a long time ago."
Loona looks up, her expression is of bored in amusement, as she then spoke out in a sarcastic tone.
"Wow, I feel 'so' loved here."
Moxxie was still resembling, his crossbow getting out of the aim, as Millie holds onto him, and she then spoke out.
"Just take a deep breath..."
She takes a deep breath, before exhaling smoothly, as she then spoke out to her husband again.
"And let it out."
Moxxie, however, did not feel any better, and in fact, felt even worse, as he then spoke out.
"But... it's a family! Under what circumstances would we ever need to kill a human family?"
Millie shrugged, as she spoke out.
"I mean, if that's what the client wants. Then, why the fuck not?"
Moxxie, however, did not feel any better, as he continues to speak out.
"Maybe like a shitty dad. Or a mob family!"
He then changed his accent to make it sound like an Italian Movster, before changing it back to normal.
"That's understandable. But to eradicate an entire innocent...seemingly, in this instance...upper middle class family bloodline?"
Loona takes the time to sit up, and she looks at the photo, almost appearing sad for a moment, as if deep down, knowing that Moxxie has a point. But she then hardens herself, as she spoke out, while pointing at some of the family members on the photo.
Hey! You don't know they're innocent! This kid probably sets dogs on fire, maybe this girl gets off to bullying Australian kids online, and this guy… This guy definitely watches."
Millie nodded her head, as she spoke out.
"Exactly! Humans are full of secret nasties. It's why so many of them end up here."
Moxxie still felt a little bit conflicted, as he spoke out.
"But...But even so...the entire family looks so innocent, and-"
Them, Hodr decide to take the turn to speak out.
"Moxxie...let me tell you something."
The 2 imps and Loona looked at Hodr, who walks towards them, but looks at Moxxie, and spoke out.
"just because a family may, look, innocent, doesn't mean that they, are, innocent. They may look as such, but appearance are used to hide the true nature of other people. Some sayings that is used here is, looks can be deceiving, or never judge a book by its cover."
This made Moxxie stunned at the fact that Hodr, a human, would describe his kind as such, as he then spoke out.
"Why would you say that, Hodr? Anybody out there can be innocent!"
But Hodr scoffed, as he spoke out.
"Innocence? Huh...I used to believe that there would be anyone outside innocent. Used to believe that there wound be others like me. But no. No, nobody is innocent, no humans are innocent. I had seen humans that had committed terrible acts, even families that do it. Some of their actions are even unthinkable and cruel, no remorse for what they had done, and even they are ignorant of their own evil, or are aware of it, and simply like it."
Moxxie's excuses was becoming a little weak, as he then spoke out.
"Yeah? Well, how about you tell me some examples."
Hodr nodded, as Loona and Millie listened. Hodr then spoke, speaking in the same flat tone.
"One example, a family that I had once encounter, I thought that they are people that help the poor, and even had a generous attitude, but they ended up being evil people that have worshipped Mammon, the Demon King of Greed, and because of this, they began to steal the money and wealth of others, as well as kill them without hesitation or remorse, in order to gain what they want, and that family was not even poor people. Another example is when I encountered a seemingly innocent businessman, but he uses men as his slaves, abusing and beating them, and they enjoyed it. And one is..."
Hodr remained silent...as he remembered one family, the one that his Old Friend is involved in...as he then remembered the feeling of cold, cruel passion within him. Frozen, frost biting metal on his arms and neck, and what he felt below him...He then shook his head, before he then spoke out.
Never mind. Point is, there are countless others that are just awful, and this is just me making 2 examples of such cases."
This made Moxxie disturbed, but he still cannot stand killing what is seemingly an innocent family.
"But...but there are some that could be innocent-"
But Hodr interrupted him, before he could finish, now adopting a more sad and depressing tone.
"Moxxie, innocence 'died' a long time ago. There is no one innocent, not anymore. Believe me, if I had know anyone else that is innocent, I would have brought him to you, and I most likely would not be in hell. And even if there are innocent...they would be killed by the most sinful people up there."
Moxxie looked unhappy and defeated, but Millie then spoke out.
"That's a great point, Hodr! Thank you for enlightening us! Now Moxxie, choose a target."
Moxxie readies, but he still feels conflicted, as Loona spoke out.
"Shit. I didn't think that you had the nerve to speak out what fucked up stuff that you humans can do."
Loona almost sounds impressed, as Hodr sighed.
"Don't make it seem that I'm proud of what I say, Loona. It may be true...but even simply saying truths like that is hard and painful. I just don't like what my kind has become, having dark, messed-up secrets of my own."
Loona scoffed, as she spoke out to him, thinking that he is not as different.
"Right. Like you probably go up to your neighbor's house, strip them of their clothes and fuck them without care."
"NO!"
Hodr shouted, which made Loona jump, as Hodr spoke out, using a tone that he never used in such a long time.
"Do not, accuse, that I do such acts like that! I would never go out of my way to break into their house, force them onto their bed, and make them go and do whatever I want with them, and make them my toy! I'd rather kill myself then do such a despicable act like that!"
The way Hodr spoke, he sounded, frightened, yet, at the same time, stern. This made Loona and the others surprised that he wound speak in a way such as that. But Hodr, realizing his tone, spoke out.
"uh...sorry. It's...just...what you said...made me remind me of some bad stuff that I don't...want to talk about."
Loona looks at Hodr, and although she can tell that he is really apologetic, due to his tone, she does not care, as she rolled he eyes, although she is still surprised at the way he spoke out on her like that.
"Whatever."
Hodr stepped back a little bit and he crossed his arms, as Loki appeared and spoke out.
"Yikes. didn't think you had some shit in ya, Hodr. And did you really needed to say such experiences to Moxxie?"
Hodr nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"I do Loki. And I know I sound horrible. But Moxxie ness to know that the Earth is going to unforgiving to him, not to mention very cruel."
Although Hodr is speaking silently, Loona looks at Hodr, and looked confused at him. She almost seemed weirded, like she knows that he is speaking to someone.
Then, the door slammed opened, revealing Blitzø and Mrs. Mayberry, as Blitzø spoke out.
"Hey, guys! I'd like you to meet-"
But then, Moxxie lost his grip and fired his arrow, which bounced around the room, hitting the all of eels, causing it for shake, hitting the picture in Loona's hand, narrowly missing the Hellhound herself, and almost hit Mrs. Mayberry. But Hodr extended his hand and made a Red Crescent shield appear, and the arrow hits it.
"-our newest client. Quick thinking, Hoden!"
"Hodr."
He said, speaking in the flat tone once again. But before Blitzø can speak back, the tank fell down, and the eels spilled out onto the wet floor. Electricity and sparks jolted out from the eels, as a fire started. Blitzø got mad, as he spoke out.
"Damnit, Moxxie! I just bought this eels!"
Hodr looks at the eels, as he then spoke out.
"Why in the world did you even nerf to by something like that? Plus, does Hell have a fire department?"
And indeed, Hell does indeed have a fire department. They came after 7 minutes, and Hodr, he got everyone out in the mock of time by making a portal to outside, with Loona taking the Grimoire with her. Luckily, Hodr has his Grimoire still, and it is still intact. The Fire Fighter demons went into the house and doused the flames, as Mrs. Mayberry went inside of a cab, and drives of, as Blitzø then spoke out to her.
"Bye and don't worry, we'll get that skank in less than twenty four hours or your first kill is free!"
Moxxie then spoke out to Blitzø, as he has not heard of such a rule like that before.
"Since when was that implemented?"
Blitzø then grabbed him by the coat and spoke out with Kind and Baby-Innocent eyes.
"Since you set fire-"
His face then turned into one of explosive, frightening rage, as he shouted close at Moxxie's face.
"To my office in front of our client, you fucking dipshit!"
He then slammed Moxxie to the ground, as he the spoke out.
"Now someone please tell me that fucking book is still intact!"
Loona was briefly on her phone, before she pulls out the Grimoire from, somewhere.
"You mean our only ticket to the other side? Yeah, got it."
Blitzø then goes in to Loona and spoke out to her in a baby-talk voice, while also putting out a dog treat resembling a bone.
"And that's why you're my favorite daughter, Looney.! You get a tastyu tweat now."
Loona looked very frustrated and weirded out at this, as she then spoke out.
"Ew, stop."
Blitzø, seeing that she does not want it, throws it into the air and used his tongue, the same way a frog catches big with their tongue, and eats it, as Loona turns away.
"You're so gross!"
Hodr looks at Blitzø, then at Loona, before speaking out.
"Is he always like this?"
Loona snorts, as she rolled her eyes, before looking at her phone.
"You have no fucking idea."
Blitzø then spoke out.
"And by the way, Hod! You're coming with us to fuck that bitch!"
This made Hodr look at Blitzø, as he spoke out.
"You want me...to come with you. Like, today?"
Blitzø then spoke out.
"Ehh, why not! After all, you seem to know the shit up there about how humans can be! So why not bring someone in line you for it?"
Hodr looked uneasy, but does not complain. He nodded his head, as he goes up to the pentagram that Millie is making, before the portal opened, and Blitø spoke out.
"Alright, now let's go lick some ass!"
Blitzø spoke out, as he stood up from the front and goes to the portal.
"The expression is "kick some ass"... Blitzø"
Blitzø shrugged, as he spoke out.
"Mine's better."
Then, Millie goes on, and then Hodr goes inside of it, as Moxxie held his face, clearly unhappy.
"Awww, fuck."
He then goes inside of the portal, in order to catch up to the others.
Hodr looks around, as he hears the crunching of grass underneath his feet, as well as Blitzø and Millie's, with Moxxie running up from behind. As they reached their destination, Loki looks around and whistles, as he then spoke pure.
"Now that is a very beautiful place right there."
They appear to be in an open grassy area of some sort, with a lake at the side. There is a sunset that is coming down, and it made the area...looks beautiful. There is also a house on a grassy hill...seemingly secluded from the other cities that might be near it. The 3 Imps go down the hill, and Hodr follows suit, but he slows steps forward, as he does not dare get scene by the family. He does look through the window at a certain angle...and he looks to see the target, Martha. She is blind woman, wearing a white shirt with red dots all over, as well as jeans, and bandages on her head, seemingly from the attack of Mrs. Mayberry. But her clothes looked...ripped, for some reason. This made Hodr very uneasy.
"That's gotta be her. Hehehehehehe...This is too easy."
Blitzø chuckled darkly, as he then spoke out.
"Well, Hodick. You get to see how is Professions do the job. Just watch and learn. And Moxxie,do you want this one?"
Moxxie was stunned.
"Me?"
Blitzø nodded.
"Yeaaaah, this one's simple enough for you to handle. It's just a happy mother who just got out of the hospital."
Moxxie looks through the window, and he sees Martha, and a brown-haired with a golden tooth, as well as 2 children, a daughter and son, with the daughter appearing to be the eldest child, and the son the youngest. Moxxie hesitated to do it, as Blitzø, seeing the heist action, spoke out.
"Welp, you snooze, you loose, Mox!"
Blitzø took out his rifle, and aimed it at the Blond woman. She blinked and smiled innocently, as Hodr does not feel...comfortable, about that look. Hodr immediately steps back, afraid for the worse.
"Aaaand I've got ya, bitch."
Moxxie looks at Blitzø, seemingly to be panicked, as he spoke out.
"Wait, we're gonna go and murder a family?!"
Blitzø then spoke out, annoyed at Moxxie, as he positions his Rifle.
"No, don't be a puss. We're just killing a mother. We're ruining a family!"
Moxxie, in a panic, immediately jumps and stops Blitzø, just as when he is about to fire.
"But… Ho-Hold on, hold on! Let's just think about it for a second!"
he grabbed the rifle, and moved it, just as the rifle fired. This made Hodr freeze, and when that happened, Loki spoke out.
"Oh no. Hodr, I think you should move back from the window."
Hodr nodded, as he stepped back, cautiously, as he knows that this sort of act will alert the family. He looks, as Blitzø shouts out at Moxxie.
"What the fuck was all that, Moxxie?! That was a perfect shot!"
Blitzø felt very angry at the fact that Moxxie had ruined the assassination, as Moxxie became emotional and spoke out, with tears running out of his eyes.
"I'm sorry! They all just seemed so wholesome and happy! I panicked!"
Blitzø facepalms at Moxxie for this, as he spoke back at him.
"Oh, who the fuck is even really innocent, Moxxie? From the moment of birth, we're all already gross parasites leeching off our momma's tit! Get the fuck over yourself, you baby dick prune and act like the proper assassin that you're fucking supposed to be!"
But then, before the argument can continue any further, a bullet fired out from the window, and hits Blitzø in the shoulder, as Moxxie spoke out.
"Oh my god."
Hodr looked, his eyes widened a lot or hit behind his hair, as he spoke out.
"Oh no. Don't tell me."
Hodr is in front of a bush, as Blitzø then shouted out.
"AAAAH! A new hole! Scatter! And come on, Hodn!"
Hodr does not bother to correct him, as Blitzø grabbed Hodr and dragged him away, with Millie running as well, whine Moxxie dived into a bush. Moxxie rose up from the bush, and he looked around, only to be grabbed at by the tail by some hands from behind.
Hodr looks behind, as Blitzø dragged him along with him, and sees Martha and her husband, Ralphie, appear out of the house. Their expressions are not very different. While Ralphie's didn't change, save for a sick grin on his face, Martha's face was not different. Before her eyes were brown, and she had an innocent smile on her face. But now, her irises are red, and she has sharp teeth, almost as jagged as a hyena.
Hodr had seen this type of thing before. He had seen this a couple of times, and while the expression has some changes in the feeling, the one thing that does not change is the fucked-up smile.
"Oh nuts. Not again."
Hodr whispered, as he ran faster, in order to make some distance from Martha and her family.
Millie took the time to avoid a couple of the shots from Ralphie, who is chasing her, as Ralphie continues to fire at her. Seeing a body of water, Millie dived in and went down into it, as Ralphie looks around at the area that he is in, and spoke out.
"Where'd you go, little critter? Y'all can't hide long from me."
Before Ralphie count realize what was about to happen, Millie suddenly jumped out of the, armed to the teeth with a knife, literally, in her mouth, she attempts to hit him, but Ralphie used his bottle to try and hit her. But Millie dived underneath and then, leapt up into the air, before holding both knives in her hand, and attempted to dive it into Ralphie, before she then got hit by the bottle, knocking her out. The last that Millie sees in front of her, is Ralphie's face, the golden-toothed, sickened grin present on his face, as she blacks out.
Slowly regaining consciousness, Moxxie began to wake up, and sees that he is on a chair, his entire body is tied by rope, and is near a table. He then looks around and sees the daughter and son, their eyes red and chilling grins on their faces, as Moxxie spoke out to them nervously, hoping that they aren't here to hurt him.
"Oh. Well hello, little ones. Aren't you cute?"
But the children reacted in a way that was not supposed to be the case. Instead of what he expects, they both spoke in unison.
"We love it when we have a new critter to play with."
This made Moxxie look around the area that he is in, and thankfully it is dimmed in red light. And needless to say, he was horrified at the sight around him. He remembered what Hodr said, about there is saying in that, looks can be deceiving. Well...Moxxie gets to realize what he meant. They innocence looking family, was not what he thought they were. Because everything in this room, the furniture and decor, they are made from human body parts.
This made Moxxie scared and he gulped in fear, as he realized, he should have heeded Hodr's words. Moxxie can only say this in the situation he is in now.
"Ohhhhh... crumbs."
Hodr has ran very fast many times before. Most of the time, back before he was sent to Hell, he would run from gang members trying to take his money, mobsters from trying to shoot him, and all of that sort of stuff. And because of this, it made him very fast in making a quick getaway. And unfortunately, running away from a lady that is ready to shoot his head off, and is batshit insane, this has to become a step further then the experiences that he has went through.
"Pick up the fucking pace, big man!"
Hodr nodded, as he ran more faster then before, and they can her Martha speak out, her voice sounds in a Texan accent like Millie, and is speaking in a sing-song tone.
"I know you're hurtin', little devil."
Turning, Hodr jumps and leapt to the side, as both Blitzø and Hodr went behind some trees, as Martha looked around, and spoke out.
"I promise, that I can make that pain go real quick! Just come let Mama Martha put a bullet in your pretty little skull!"
Hodr looks to the side and learns from the tree a little bit, as Blitzø spoke out.
"Holy shit! I though that bitch is just someone that fucks with men and that's it! I didn't think she was batshit fucked up enough to kill us!"
Hodr leaned at the side, as Martha sang out.
"Can't help it, but I notice that you little devils have a fresh human with ya. I'll find your human, and we will eat his young, succulent flesh, all in Satan's name."
This made Hodr's eyes widened, as he spoke out.
"Great, another one."
Blitzø then snarled out.
"Shit. The entire family are cannibals! Now I've fucking had it."
Blitzø was about to grab something, but than, his phone rang out, the ringing being the screams of pain from a man, as Hihdr then leapt onto the tree, as Blitzø answered the phone as fast as he can, as he then half-quietly, half-shouting, speaks out through the phone.
"Stolas! This is a really bad time."
Then, Stolas' voice spoke out from the phone.
"Mmmmm, when isn't it a bad time, Blitzy?"
Blitzø has a tone of frustration in his voice, as he then spoke out
"What is it?!"
"I've been meaning to follow up on our last little conversation regarding my grimoire? My book, Blitzy. The book I was given to do my job? That I have allowed you to use to do yours?"
Martha then spoke out.
"I can hear you, Darlin'!"
Hodr closed his eyes, as Loki appears beside him.
"Why in the ever loving hell is Stolas calling at a moment like this?!"
Blitzø then spoke out, but hushing at Stolas and cussing.
"Shhhit!"
"Anywhooo, I have been thinking. You know, I have been... permitting you to access the mortal realm less than... legally for quite some time now, but I do need it back to fulfill my duties. I was thinking, what if we worked out some kind of exchange? Favors for favors? Doesn't that sound…enticing~?"
Blitzø spoke back, now desperate to end this conversation.
"You gotta stop using your fancy ass rich people talk, okay? I'm trying to concentrate on not getting fucked in my A!"
Stolas chuckled, as he spoke out.
"Well, of course. That reminds me. About that human, the one named Hodr. Have you seen how he uses his magic?"
Blitzø then spoke out.
"Only time I seen it when when we first met him. I don't know what other shit he has up his sleeve. And maybe this is the day to see it!"
Stolas sounds amused, as he then spoke out.
"Well, that is a shame. Perhaps you can tell me on this offer that I have, involving my Grimoire. Let me keep it simple: Once a month, on the full moon, you return the book to me, followed by a night of…paaassionate fornication~. Aaand you get to keep it all the rest of the time, hmm? Sound fair, my little Imp?"
This made Blitzø irritated, but he gave in and smacked himself in the head, as he snarled out.
"Fine! Whatever!"
Stolas chuckled, as he then spoke out, not containing his excitement any longer.
"Ohhh, Blitzo! I'm so excited! I cannot wait to feel your slimy (bleeped) inside of my (bleeped). To (bleeped) the-"
Loki and Hodr's eyes widened at whatever it was that Stolas said, as Blitzø ended the phone call, not wanting to hear anymore. They had disturbed looks on their faces.
"How does Blitzø deal with whatever shit Stolas has?"
Loki said, as Hodr shrugged. But as he did, he got hit in the head by the butt of a rifle, and he looks to see Martha, a twisted smile on her face.
"Gotcha! So, you're a little devil, huh? Come to drag me and my kin to Hell? Well... NOT TODAY, SATAN! Gonna send y'all back where ya came from!"
But as she is about to grab him, Hodr jumps down and kicks Martha in the face, knocking her back. Martha looks, and is happy to see him.
"Well, it appears my quarry is here! Now to feast for Satan's bliss!"
Hodr frowned, as he stepped forward, and spoke out.
"You are not the first family that worships a demon king of sin, and you certainly won't be the last one either."
This made Martha intrigued, as he spoke out.
"Really? There are others like us? Well, perhaps I can give them a visit, after I feast on your flesh and gnaw on your bones!"
Hodr narrowed his eyes, as his vision changed again. The entire area become a red hue, black snow falling down from the sky, and dozens of heads with faces that he does not recognize appear on stakes. The sky is is now red with blood red clouds in the sky again. The wood on the trees now are made of bone, the roots coming out from the ground resembling veins, and the leaves resembling flesh and muscle tissue. He blinked again, the vision is gone, before he then spoke our, his tone devoid of emotion, his voice flat.
"You can try."
Martha readies her gun and fired it, as Hodr raised his hand and made a crescent shield that blocked it. This made Martha surprised, before Hodr ran fast towards Martha and punched her hard in the face, before punching her in the stomach, before grabbing her by the edges of her shirt and head butts her in the face, twice, causing her nose to bleed. This made Martha snarl, as she tries to bite his cheek, only for Hodr to teleport backwards, and launch a red fireball at Martha, which she ducked, and the fireball dissipates, due to not wanting to set the forest on fire.
Martha smirked, as she goes over and punched Hodr in the face, sending him back a little bit, but then, rising him from his body, all around him, are a series of Sigil and glyphs, all of them demonic in origin, as Hodr narrowed his eyes. Martha snarled, as she rushes over to try and grab him, but Hodr leapt up, and a Sigil was made under him, as he jumped away, and dashed out of the area, as Blitzø spoke out.
"Heh. Teleport, armor, and all they shit. Not bad, you lucky bastard."
Hodr began to run as fast as he is able to, and he does all that he can to avoid getting caught by Martha. He needs to go around and find Millie and Moxxie, in order to make sure that they is alright, perhaps to stop Martha and her family's madness. He cannot do this by himself, and even though he has a lot of demonic power, he can't do this alone.
"Praise Satan, huh? I think considering her cannibalistic habits that she and her family have,I think she and her family would be better at worshipping Beelzebub. He is a Gluttony King, after all."
Loki spoke out, as he flies next to Hodr, who looks around the forest he is in.
"Where's Moxxie?"
Hodr said, as Loki then spoke out.
"He must be back at the house. Try and see if he is there."
Hodr nodded his head, as he turned and tries to find where the house is. But it is difficult, due to the fact that the forest is large. In fact, he doesn't even know where he is going. He ran as fast as he can, going to as many directions as he can, his vision once again changing, the black snow coming down, and there are people hanged by chains. Skinned bodies littler the ground, as Hodr jumps and leaps over some of them. But Hodr shook his head and opened his eyes, and the vision is gone. As he ran, he then saw a pair of familiar white horns.
"Moxxie."
Hodr said, and Moxxie looks to see Hodr is here, as he then spoke out.
"Hodr, there you are."
Hodr spoke out.
"Yeah, and this thing is a whole mess. A cannibalistic family everywhere to try and eat me, a human, and now trying to kill all of you."
Moxxie then looked down a little bit, as he began to think of what to say to Hodr, as spoke out.
"Hodr, listen. You...you were right...about everything, about how not all people seem to be as, about how not even families are safe from being cruel. Hodr...I...I'm sorry...I didn't listen to your warning. I...I put us all in danger."
Hodr huffed a little bit, as he then spoke out.
"Well...I guess all that it takes is one single mess up to fail in order for you to see it. Some lessons need to be learned the hard way after all. But, Moxxie...I hope you keep this lesson in mind after we're done with this mission, okay?"
Moxxie looks at Hodr, and nodded, as Hodr then spoke out.
"Now then...let's go and take that mad woman down."
Moxxie nodded, and Loki smirked, as he spoke out.
"That's it. Living for your new pals! Now let's go and fuck that bitch up!"
The Full Moon is out in the sky, as all around the area of the woods that is lighten up, branches have symbols involving ritual sacrifice and mitigations are on them, as well as torches in rows and tents. Martha and Ralphie smiled, as they looked at Blitzø and Millie, both of whom are bound and have been trapped, ready to be killed by Martha. Blitzø cussed at Moxxie for the fact that he messed it all up.
"I had that fucking shot. God dammit, Moxxie!"
Martha stepped forward, after Ralphie is done pouring the gasoline onto the ground, now with Skull Earnings on her, as she spoke out, torch in hand.
"Satan! We return your FILTHY creatures back to the pits of Hell! May the root of evil remain honored as we continue thy WORK!"
Martha grunts as she tosses the torch to the ground, where it lands under Blitzo and Millie. Evil laughter follows, as Martha cackled in insanity at the fact that she thinks she killed the Imp. The flames rise up around Blitzo and Millie, but they remain unharmed, and in fact, Blitzø looked mockingly at Martha, as he spoke out.
"Yeah, that's not exactly how it works, lady. Sorry, your fire doesn't really hurt us, but, I mean, I could fake it if that'll get your dick hard."
Both Millie and Blitzø smirked mockingly at Martha, who realized she made a mistake.
"Oh shut. Well, in the case..."
She smiled, as she then holds her rifle in her hand, as she then shouted out.
"I'll just shoot you in your smart-ass mouth!"
Blitzø, being the idiot that he is, did not watch his mouth and spoke out.
"Now that...would be much more effective."
"Blitzø!"
Millie cried out in annoyance at what Blitzø had done, and Martha smiled, ready to fire. But then, Hodr came out of complete nowhere, and caught Martha by surprise. Before she realizes what was about to happen, Hodr then leapt forward, and grabbed the rifle in her hand. The gun began to freeze, as icy-blue markings resembling chains glowed, as the Rifle began to be covered in frost and ice. He then grunted, before he punched the rifle, shattering it, before grabbing Martha by the strap on her shoulder, and put his hand onto her left eye, as she screamed in agony.
"Get your hands off of my wife!"
Ralphie spoke out, as he aimed his gun. But then, Hodr raised his other hand, and then, icy chains appeared, and wrapped around one of Ralphie's hands, making the hand become dark blue, grey, and cracked, similar to frostbite. And then, with a tug, the chain rips off the arm as it shattered, causing Ralphie to cry in pain, as he ran away. But then, Martha grabbed Hodr by the throat, and threw him away. The left side of her face, or at least, the one around the left eye, is the same as one of Ralphie's arms, dark blue and grey, and her left eye is white, as Martha pulls out a handgun, and points it at Millie, as she shouted out.
"Don't you dare move, or I'll-"
BANG!
Blitzø, Millie, and Hodr looked at the source of the sound, as Martha has an expression of pain and shock, and then, her right eye popped out. Martha fell down, and standing behind her, is Moxxie, gun in hand, and looking furious at Martha for nearly killing his wife.
"Moxxie!"
Millie said happily, as Blitzø spoke out.
"You're not gettin' your goddamn paycheck for this one, Mox!"
Moxxie came and untied the ropes on both Blitzø and Millie, as Millie went in and kissed Moxxie in the lips, which he was happy with. Blitzø then spoke out in a rather sarcastic tone.
"Oh, yeah, thanks! I'm fiiine!"
Moxxie then looks at Blitzø, before he then spoke out.
"I'm sorry, sir. I compromised our objective and put us in harm's way. It won't happen again. I promise."
Blitzø smiled, as he spoke out.
"Apology accepted."
Blitzø hugged Moxxie, and he returns the hug. But then, Blitzø whispered a threat to Moxxie.
"But, if you ever pull a stunt like this again...I will fuck you and your wife."
Moxxie looked horrified, as Blitzø then spoke out and acted in a cheerful tone.
Alrighty! Job well done! Now let's get off. Hey, Hodamn, mind making a portal back to I.M.P?"
Hodr nodded, as he then turned around and made a portal back to the inside of the building. Moxxie looks back at the house, before he then spoke out.
"Ehhhh, yeah. Give me a moment. I need to get something I left at the house."
Blitzø then looks at Moxxie, as spoke out with an annoyed tone.
"Fine, but make it fucking quick!"
Moxxie nodded, as he than ran as fast as he can to the house, and Hodr looks at Moxxie, Blitzø and Millie entered into the portal, before Hodr then spoke out.
"What is Moxxie doing?"
Loki then appeared, towering over Hodr, as he then spoke out.
"Don't know. Maybe he went to call the cops on the rest of them or something?"
Hodr shook his head, as he doubts that it would work out in the way Moxxie wants it.
"How is that gonna work?"
He opens his eyes and looks back at the house, as he then spoke out to Loki.
"The police are going to get brutal and likely kill them. If families and other peoples can go mad, so can they."
Loki nodded his head, as Moxxie then returned.
"Alright, I'm back."
Hodr was about to speak, but then, Blitzø's head appears from the portal and spoke out.
"There he is. Have a good wank-off session, Moxxie?"
Moxxie then spoke out, offended.
"Excuse me?"
Blitzø then waves off his question, as he spoke out.
"Look, I don't care where you cum in the living world. Just come to your job on time, alright? See you in the office!"
Blitzø poked Moxxie a few times before re-entering the portal, and Millie appears out partially from the portal itself.
"You doing okay, sweetie?"
Moxxie nodded his head, as he then spoke out.
"Better now, honey. I think I just needed a minute to process."
Hodr looks at Moxxie understandingly. After all, he had just witnessed a horrifying side of humanity, and it is one of the most horrific moments he had ever witnessed.
"You have a goooood heart, honey. Just a fuzzy head!"
Millie playfully pinches Moxxie's nose, before she then kissed him, which made Moxxie smile, before Millie goes back into the portal. Hodr spoke out.
"So, Moxxie. What did you do when you went back to the house?"
Of course, Hodr has a good guess on what Moxxie had done, along with Loki, but he just wants to make sure. Moxxie was about to speak, but then, the sound of sirens was heard, as Hodr, Moxxie, and Loki, who just appeared, looks to see that a coupe of police cars and a helicopter are present. Hodr can only guess what is about to happen next. No arrest.
"We got em', boys!"
A police officer said, and before Moxxie knew it, the helicopter fired its missile at the house' roof, which blew up the house entirely, and killed Ralphie and the kids inside. Moxxie looked in shock, unable to believe that they would do this, but then, the head of a teddy bear hits him in the head. Hodr shook his head, as he spoke out.
"Why am I not surprised. Of course the Law Enforcers, and even the Cops, would go mad as well."
Loki shrugged his shoulders, as he spoke out.
"Well, that's a shame. I guess. Moxxie should have known that. But let's be honest, that family deserved it."
Hodr then spoke out.
"Except he didn't. After all, Police are meant to protect innocent and take down the corrupted. But he never knew how they would do it. But...I guess I can't say that they didn't have it coming, especially after all that they've done."
Hodr then looks back at Moxxie, as he grabbed him by one of his shoulder, looking guilt ridden and shocked at what he had just brought in, as Hodr spoke out.
"Come on, Moxxie."
Hodr went inside of the portal, as he dragged Moxxie inside as well.
Now, normally, Hodr would not be inside of a celebration of some sort. In fact, he has never done a celebration before in his entire life. The only time was when he was 8, and that is when his parents were alive at the time. But now, now he gets to be inside of a celebration of killing a very evil woman. There is a white banner above him that says 'Killed The Bitch', in red letters, and a cake that has the words 'We did it' with a smiley face and in blue frosting. Everyone is in party hats, even Mrs Mayberry, who has arrived to hear her good news, and Loki, somehow, who has a black part hat on top of his head in between his antlers. Everyone looked happy, except for Moxxie, who looked shocked and traumatized at what happened. Hodr didn't smile, as usual, as Millie spoke out in such an excited tone.
Ahhh, did you see my little Mox-Mox?!
Mrs. Mayberry smirked, as she spoke out along with Blitzø
"Yaaay!"
"Ohhhh, yeah!"
Millie then hugs Moxxie, oblivious and ignorant to the feelings he has within him, as she spoke out.
"We did it! Oh, Moxxie!"
Blitzø has a proud smile on his face, as he then spoke out to him.
"Well, here's to another mission accomplished! And Moxxie finally learned not to fuck up."
Millie rubs her hand onto Moxxie's head, as if comforting him on what he's done, when in reality, she is congratulating him on doing his, ignorant of his guilt.
"And killin' people isn't that big of a deal if they try to kill you back!"
Millie spoke out, as Mrs. Mayberry chuckled a little, before she spoke on a joking tone.
"That's messed up. But, I paid for it!"
Everyine laughed, with the exception of Moxxie, Hodr, and Loki, as Blitzø pump a fist into the air.
"Yeah, fuck that family! And props to you, Hodr. You really showed your violence! That is perfect for I.M.P to have! Just don't fuck up like Moxxie, okay?"
But as everyone celebrated, sans Moxxie, Hodr simply looks at the scene before him, and did not smile at all. In fact, he does not find anything funny and achieving about taking away the life of another person. Yes, the family were irredeemable and very evil people, but at the end of the day, they were living beings.
"They really seem to take pleasure in death, huh?"
Loki looks at the group, and spoke out.
"Looks that way. They seem to take pleasure in the death of those they kill, just like the family did."
Hodr slumped, as he frowned a little more, and he spoke out.
"I would feel bad. But...I honestly don't know how I can. And...that former teacher..."
Hodr looks at Mrs. Mayberry, as he then spoke out.
"Why does she seem so familiar?"
Loki shrugged, as he spoke out.
"Ehh, doesn't matter. For now, best enjoy the cake."
Hodr looks at the slice of cake in his plate, as he spoke out.
"How can you enjoy something like this after you witness something so unthinkable?"
Hodr does eat the single slice of cake that he has, but did not take any joy in it. He just ate it quietly. And after he is done, he decides to walk back to his new room. But as he did, a voice spoke out.
"Hold it there."
This made Hodr stop, as he turned around and looked to see Mrs. Mayberry looking at him, having a perplexed feeling, almost as if she has seen him before.
"Is there...something you want from me?"
Mrs. Mayberry frowned, as she walks over to Hodr. Although Hodr is taller then before, Mrs. Mayberry is taller then him and Blitzø. She looks down at him, before she then spoke out.
"I can't help but notice you amongst the other demons. You aren't dead, are you?"
Hodr was silent, at first, but he then shook his head, before he then spoke out.
"No. I'm not."
Mrs. Mayberry nods her head once, before she then observed Hodr in the face for a little bit, before she then spoke out.
"You look...oddly familiar...do you mind if I can see your face?"
Hodr was silent. But since she claimed that he looks familiar to her, just as she looks familiar to him, he nods his head. Mrs. Mayberry then walks up closer to Hodr, and moves aside his hair, in order to see his eyes. When she looked, after a minute of observing, her eyes widened.
"Wait...I do know you."
This made Hodr confused, but then, Mrs. Mayberry spoke out.
"I once used to babysit you and your younger siblings, back when you were 8-years old, and I was a teenager!"
This made Hodr's eyes widened. He looks at the body shape, the face, the glasses, and then...it all clicked inside of him. A blond-haired woman with light green eyes. She had been hired as a babysitter for him and his younger siblings. The happy laugher, the fun he once had, the warm feeling, he remember is, all of it. He never had once completely forgotten it, even if it has been so long.
"I remember. You used to feed me and my younger siblings when our parents were away for an important business. You fed us our favorite food, you played with us, and even read us bedtime stories. Mrs...Mrs. Mayberry, right?"
He spoke back to her. Although his voice is still sad, he also sounds...almost relived, as if he has seen someone that has a place inside of his very heart.
"Yes. And I used to remember that you were more...different. You used ti be outgoing, playful, brave, imaginative, and creative, yet very kind and helpful, not to mention caring of others. But...what happened to your parents...to...your younger..."
Hodr looked down, as he spoke out.
"Dead. They've been killed."
This made Mrs. Mayberry's eyes widened, but she then looked sad and pitiful to him, as he spoke out.
"Oh...I...I'm sorry to hear that. They were good people."
Hodr looks down, and nodded his head, as Mrs. Mayberry spoke out.
"And...I forgot your name. Can you remind me?"
Hodr then spoke out.
"Unfortunately, Mrs. Mayberry...who I once was...was gone a long time ago. Now...I go by a new name, Hodr."
This made Mrs. Mayberry nod her head, as she spoke out.
"I see."
Hodr then looks down, before he spoke out.
"So...what are you going to do now."
Mrs. Mayberry looks around, before she spoke out.
"I...I don't know. I just got to Hell and I only heard of I.M.P through their commercials. Now...now I have no idea what to do."
Hodr then looks down, as he thought of something, before he then snapped his fingers.
"You know...there is a place that you can go to."
This made Mrs. Mayberry look up at Hodr, as he then spoke out.
"During my week in Hell, I researched the internet for any locations and places that are known, and apparently, there is this Hotel of some sort. And apparently, they are used to help redeem sinners, or something like that."
This made Mrs. Mayberry look surprised at Hodr, and spoke out to him, a small glimmer of hope now being present in her eyes.
"Really? Where is it?"
Hodr then goes to Mrs. Mayberry, and whispered the location of where she needs to go, before he steps back, and Mrs. Mayberry nodded her head.
"That is good enough for me. Hodr...thank you, forgiving me a new chance in continuing."
Hodr nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"It's no problem. Besides, you took care of me and the others when we're young. So this is the least I can do."
Mrs. Mayberry nodded, as she smiled.
"I see. Welll...Goodbye, Hodr. And thank you."
She turns around and walks away, as she goes to her new destination, and Hodr looks, a strange warm feeling swelling inside of him. Almost like...his spirits are risen in a way. Then, Loki spoke out.
"Huh...who knew."
Hodr looks at Loki, who has appeared behind him. He has in intrigued and impressed expression, as Loki spoke out again.
"Who knew some bit of your old self is still in you. Well. It is at least nice to see an old pal, even if it is just for one day."
Hodr said nothing, but he does take a moment to consider what Loki meant. He then turns around, and goes to the door to his room, as he enters it, and closed the door, ready to sleep for another day.
