Evacuation and Miasma.
~}I{~
The denizens of the Ring of Lust knew this was coming when they learned that their Lord was trapped on Earth in an Illegal contract, but… They didn't expect it to happen so soon!
All types of power in the Ring of Lust suddenly ceased! All at once!
Electricity, magic, music, batteries, plumbing, cars, phones, teleportation circles, electronics, and the Summoning Centres all stopped working out of the blue.
Thankfully, no one was harmed or hurt, and anyone dependent on a medical device to stay alive had been sent to one of the other Rings for that.
This was bad!
Without the Embodiment of Lust to keep everything stable in the Ring of Lust… Losing power to everything in that ran within the Ring was the Least of Hell's problems…
And if there was one thing all the Sins could unanimously agree on is that they had to find their missing sibling, personally! Even Belphegor was up and already heading to Earth for this search!
However, before these Sins left, they ordered a complete evacuation of the Ring of Lust. The Hellborns could easily traverse between the Rings, but the Sinners were another story. The souls condemned to Hell could not freely travel to Rings that they haven't committed acts relating to the corresponding Sin. The Sinners who were condemned to the Ring of Lust and one or more of the other Rings were easier to move, but the ones that only committed acts of Lust… Thankfully, Lucifer used his executive order as the Lord of the First Ring of Hell to move the pure Lust Sinners to his Ring until Asmodeus was found and the Ring of Lust stabilised.

The streets under a bright blue sky with light blue clouds were void of any life. All vehicles were at a standstill, even in the middle of the road. The buildings advertising some entertainment of an explicit nature had no electricity flowing through any of them.
All was empty and still in the Ring of Lust.
Still, except for the occasional unnatural tremor pulsing through.

Anyone with any sense of Awareness felt it when the miasma cLuster finally burst out of the spot it was sealed in within the Paris area. And even those without Awareness could see the miasma cLuster spewing out from any open window from the apartment building it was in and surrounded said building in an eerie haze.
It was a horrifying sight for both the ones with Awareness and without.
None of the mortals near this building knew what was going on or what that dark, scary-feeling smog was. Everyone was backing away from this building, even the owner.
Only one person was walking towards the miasma covered building. A man that was a little on the shorter side of the average height spectrum, had dark skin, greyish-black hair that was staged in dreads that reached a little past his shoulders, wore a bright blue visor that covered his own eyes, wore a white shirt that had a few specks of something sparkling that didn't seem a part of the design, black cargo slacks, and a pair of black combat boots. The ears on the man appeared to be pointed, small nose, and a very unpleasant frown crossed his face. This man glanced up at the miasma cLuster with a serious expression.
His visor gleamed in the light.

To be continued.

Gale-Dragon: Yeah, short chapter, but I figure that it would be good to give everyone a cooldown chapter before getting into the more serious parts of the story.
