“It’s not my fault you decided that the seventh circle should be a big ass maze, Azazel,” Lilith snapped at the other demon as they continued the same argument that they’d been having for the past hour.

We were currently hovering over the endless twists and turns that made up the seventh circle. The idea behind it was that the violent souls who inhabited it would spend eternity lost in the maze, never able to scratch that violent itch that had plagued them in their life on Earth. It worked like a charm… right up until you actually needed to find the souls within.

My magic was able to feel the disturbance that the liars were creating, a bit like a dowsing rod, but I didn’t have specific locations for any of them. This meant that I would need to be involved in every step of the search. It also meant that I wouldn’t be able to go back to the palace to visit the omega that had traveled dimensions to see me.

I was half-convinced that this was the dude upstair’s way of fucking with me, but I had to admit that even he wouldn’t be this petty.

“I expressly remember you thinking it was a great idea, Lilith, especially since we were getting rid of the three ring model it had before,” Azazel sniped back. “Remember? You said it while you were perched on my di—”

“That’s enough,” I turned to cut them both off. As the ruler of Hell and a primordial being I couldn’t get headaches, but these two were certainly doing their damndest to test that hypothesis today.

They’d been bickering nonstop since we started our search at the ninth circle. The ninth circle was probably going to be our easiest search of the bunch as Kevin had been waiting for us with a list of his sinners and the sixty that he’d found that didn’t belong in his circle. They’d been promptly sent back to the eighth circle with the promise of a thousand years of torture for daring to leave their fate. Despite his youth, Kevin was definitely showing why I’d picked him to run a circle in the first place.

After that we’d stopped off in the eighth circle to check that it was secure. Anticif had been yanked from his post and the newer demon that had taken over was busy battening down the hatches, so to speak. With any luck, something like this would never happen again under his watch.

“Sorry, boss,” they chorused together as we continued to soar over the maze.

My power jumped, telling me that another renegade fraudster was nearby. “We’ve got another one,” I called over my shoulder, my dark feathered wings coming in close to my body as I dipped into a dive.

We still had seven more circles to search and I had a feeling that my time with Eden was going to have to wait even longer.

Sometimes it being the ruler of Hell sucked.
