Hell

“PLEASE, MASTER! PLEASE! Allow me to explain!”

The magma rolled and writhed like a tentacle above Araxiel’s body. A drop fell from the tip. His every instinct told him to move, but experience kept him in place. There would be more than a drop if he showed weakness, and strength was the one thing that might ensure the Master listened.

The drop hit his ear. The sting lasted but an instant. The ache that replaced it would last much longer.

He breathed hard but kept still, all his focus on doing this right. He had one chance…

Having been brought here like this, however, without a circle to protect his host body and without blood and death to open the conduit, his body above was in seizure. If his host died, there would be no direct line to go back.

The tentacle circled him, coiling to enclose him in a tower of magma built upon the metallic bits that formed the beach. It grew until it was twice as tall as he. “If your words displease me, I will drown you in pain for an eon.”

Recovering as much as he could, Araxiel spoke fast. “Geist told me of an abhadhon able to access the ancient doorways. It was immediately clear to me that I must make contact with her on Your behalf.”

Hundreds of hands pierced through the wall of magma and clenched and unclenched as the Master said, “She destroyed Zaebos before he could make an offer. What makes you think you’ll do better?”

“Because, Master, of all your servants, my long experience on her natural plane gives me an advantage that will secure her conversion to your service.”

“You did not ask for this task!” The Master bellowed. “You did not present yourself with your offer. You made a grave choice without my consent.”

All of Araxiel’s plans hinged on this one fact: The Master’s jealousy of the free will that came with a host’s body was the most contentious aspect between Him and His possessor demons.

“Master, I know what I have done. More than any other demon, I need to earn Your favor and there is but one way to accomplish that. I must succeed in giving You the one thing You want right now. Of all Your minions, I am the best prepared to deliver into Your service the abhadhon who can make an interminable doorway for You.”
