From the moment of my birth, I've dedicated my life to board. My legacy in the realm of mortals is dwarf
in comparison to the chaos I'm volding before me. The list that is what someone or something wanted to think. Typically it's hard to think clear. Then eat the bow. I care nothing for the losses here. He always create parts behind scats. This strange man, this elder seemed, was comfortable when the front line could get going from the shadows the power to grove to bring to their staggering I con tell you enough to turn the downt in the right
mind. Unleashes of weapons and no means of control the Lion. You have to fall back. You cannot reach its defenses. Where's creature? Shall the fire shift the legiance to either shine and target the darkened spot, Stay clear of the middle. My commands were relaid down the line and felt the hum in years the lion due to the sixth layer of Hell. The Lord of the Heritage unleashes the giant feature from the seat to an office of the display
roll power, roar a challenge. In response, a thousand miniature versions of the beast fell upon the shore and charged headlong to the front lines. Left flank disappeared in the riot, massive gray, howling flesh. Our allies of the grove were being consumed. Alive and watch helplessly as John's shield lapsed, leaving the right flank exposed to tentacles from the water, dragging everyone to a winding grave must length down to the life of its own mouth. Surbil became
the highest prayers. There would be no winters here. I won't deny the pleasure in for wielding large amounts of power with no regard for the surroundings. With every attack, another foal was destroyed, and whose feeling was only temporary. I could feel the demon essence within me fadingish his companion. The battle is not yet over. Isy, you a little joyous head in the royer, only yours. I you see, you fit right in. And just like that, a great weight lifted from the core of my being. I
stood in the forest, clearing, breathless and shaking. I took a knee before my face could meet the ground. I stared at the bodies of my vanquished foes. As strange emotions flooded my body, I gathered my remaining strength and stood the battle still raged on near the lake. Samantha entrusted me with helping save the refuge that these these defiant ones created. I liberated a broken blade from a previous opponent and verted myself for the figure walking towards me from
the tree line. And oh wow, the warden. He pulled a mutilated, broken body behind him and carried another over his shoulder. His cloak of keys was soaked in blood. How did he follow me here? I've solved two of my three problems for today. My blades and chains are eager to taste your blood. Samantha tat. I wasn't used to emotions. My hands began to shake as tears swelled in my eyes. I've never felt sadness and rage mixed together. The spike of adrenaline cleared away any feelings of fatigue.
Tart was well and gone, but Samantha's wound is still oozed with fresh blood. She wouldn't last long without help. Come and play with me, Bob. I love it when they struggle. Let's go yes' wild No no, you said, are you crying. It was evident that the Warden was toying with me, his mocking laughter doing just as much damage as his wicked blade. My anger and rage turned into frustration. This flesh wasn't strong enough. My first act in this new mortal frame was failure. Two doors. Bob.
Okay, now I'm bored. Goodbye, Bob. The Warding struck quicker than my eye or reflexus could follow. He only needed one hand to maneuver the blade that impaled me. He pulled me uncomfortably close and lowered the cowl on his cloak with his free hand. Wisps of long, stringy gray hair blue around his face. His features might be considered beautiful in another time, but scars were cut deep into the surface, adding to his mask of rage. I expected the blackened eyes of a demon, but saw a sliver of
red and white around fully dilated pupils. I locked eyes with the being I shared so many centuries within the walls of the gray rooms, and felt sadness. I forgive you, brother er, I don't need your forgiveness, Bob. The moment hung suspended in time until I heard a familiar voice below us. I saw a delicate hand and grasping the warden's ankle. Leave him alone, you er er. The warden dropped me and we both collapsed to the ground. I lay there, trying to draw breath. I felt the edges
of my vision turning black. I managed to reach out and grab the hand of my friend, Samantha Winters. She smiled back at me. This felt like a fitting end to our story. I closed my eyes and waited for the end. But the end never came. The blackness retreated as I saw several robed figures standing around me. Their faces were obscured by hoods stained a deep crimson. I tried to call out, but couldn't find my voice. I was levitated by an unseen force and moved through the forest. Everything blurred
around me, and I lost consciousness again. I awoke on the floor of a cave. Heavy chains were around my wrist. The pain in my chest was gone, along with my shirt. Only a large scar reminded me of my previous waking encounter. I could see Samantha, chained and still unconscious, across from me. The rise and fall of her chest told me she was alive, but little else. The warden sat next to me with his back to the wall, affixed a snarl on his face. His cloak was gone.
I followed his gaze and saw the source of his ire. A thin, gaunt man sat on a throne of bone, A grimoire in one of his hands glowed with its own eerie incandescence. I pulled myself upright, rested my back against the wall, and wondered what now I used to be on the front lines when the grove took a more forward approach to their problems and come back ship there. Now I remember why I left this ship behind.
Too many close calls, too much chaos. The reward for this misadventure the literal lake of untouched essence left over from creation, essentially the reserve power of Lucifer himself. More fucked situation when I saw one, Though he did not bring enough to capture this place. We needed a bigger stick. The only thing keeping us in the fight was Beckett's adjustments and a handful of Holy Avengers from the mountain. The rest were just came and father Chaff scattered to wind.
I'm here, cousin, are working things with side rest fasting. You want to come and over, police, super I don't know if you remember, but contractual obligations need to be fulfilled. With the rooms figured new furied princesses would know all about death, and that was my signal to go. Elisle managed to slay the creature, but that just created a new horde that spilled from the corpse. Dark mist surrounded the duke and shrank him back to
regular size. Beckett pushed forward, carving a bloody path of destruction along with his personal bodyguards to reach his master. Not to self, do not fuck with that guy. One on one much less. Surrounded by an entourage, the admiral reached the Lisle quickly, but the horde descended with a renewed fury. His companion started following one by one underneath a pile of bodies. Caliban, take angry horns and rescue her thoughts. A favor from a Duke of
Hell may be useful in future negotiations. Month Blind his hurt need to get him back to his tower, one thing at a time. You surely we can salvage this somehow annual. No, you do, You don't have enough in deserve. Look there, the warriors from the mound were already drawn, fining cowards. The admiral was right. I didn't want him to be, but I couldn't deny what my eyes saw. The residence of this space joined
the battle, putting our group between a hot place and thoroughly fucked. I signaled the full retreat of the Globe's forces and led the way back to our exodus. Here Beckon left a trail of bodies against a seemingly endless horde in our wake. He looked more demon than man. The father he pushed himself before changing completely. There is no escape if you let them. The seconds
for the scheme deep. Just welcome back, Admiral Architect. I hope you have good news, but looking the way you do, I choose my words carefully. You better have a good reason to have both my attendance with you instead of your rabble. We were not successful. Blile was injured. Surely you must be joking. Blile cannot be be injured. He's pretty fine. I don't remember asking you to talk to you. In a moment, an unexpected enemy arrived on the battlefield, a giant creature from the far and its
horde. Malyile rose to immediate but fell in battle after its destruction. Is he still alive. I believe so, but I don't know for how long. The Duke's contingent secured him in the tower and sealed it with a powerful warding spell. Nothing is getting in or out. What were our losses? Everyone? That also includes my personal guard. I only escape with the help of these two and our allies from the grove. Moth saved us. You should have stayed and died with them. I'm sure he'll be back asking for
Christ. Can you tell me why both my attendants are here? There is a small problem on the train to tell last Roll was freed. The one thing I told you not to do. It was unavoidable. One of the guests regain their memories. You somehow also free the others of their mind wipes. Where are the guests now? Uh, we don't know. I'll allow you to explain your failure before I kill you. I mean you see,
two guests entered the door at the same time. Two where's the third killed when the angels freed the other two escaped to a platform and the aftermath and both entered the door at the same time. Both of you returned to the rooms. I'm sending Alma to meet you. We're going to put the memory blocks back in place. There will be no stopping on the Silver Express this time. No more mistakes. Hello, dear sister, Sorry to catch you in the middle of whatever this is, but I just spoke to a mutual
friend of ours. Bess, I do not have time for this right now. Just wait with Azrael sends his regards. There are multiple legions of demon spawn at our gates. It appears that we are under siege from another layer. Chris Caliban returned to the rooms and wait for Alma Admiral with me, Bess, you may go, I'm busy. Well, well, well, look who finally decided to show up? Stranger Easy. They're not going to be any trouble. What do you want? You just need to wait for
our special guest to arrive. You've been given a second chance, a chance to do what you did okay on your first go round, but we need you to do better. No distractions this time. Where's Finley Funny? You should ask? There's pieces of him flashburned into the ground right over there. You play with angels, you get burned. I can't think it's great. It feels like my mind is on fire. You both entered the door at the same time, your minds are melding together. You have fragments of each
other's memories. It won't matter soon anyway. You can't keep us here, We'll find a way out. That's where you're wrong. I can keep you here. I will stop you from leaving every single time. We will get out. I don't think so afraid that you won't remember much of anything after this reset drives. Bring them over to the ritual circles so Alma can do her work. Oh what sites we have to show you once you wake up.
