Chapter 2: Hell's Gate

As soon as I saw those 2 pairs of glowing red eyes I knew where I had landed. However the most surprising thing was that the first Person greeting me was the Lord Satan himself. All the fairy tales about his looks were not made up to scare the children. It was the naked truth about him being half goat and half man. Add glowing red eyes, scorching black wings and sharp teeth like the ones of a tiger, to the mix and there you have him Satan personally. Lucifer however looked like a hard to approach Gentleman. His blonde hair and black wings were a stunning combination with his red eyes. You saw his haughty behaviour from a far and if I wouldnt have been in Hell, I wouldve thought Royalty is standing in front of me.

Satan welcomed me to his domain of Wrath and asked me, what I had done to land so deep in the realm of Hell. I explained him my story of the Heavens and how I bit the Angel into his neck.

"Bahahaha, truly comedic! Even though I slaughtered loads of Angels, I'd never have the idea of biting one in the neck. You, my friend are a genius.", replied Lucifer while holding his hands to his stommach and laughing as hard as he could. " What is your name by the way?", Satan asked.

"Aleg", I answered.

"Well Aleg, as far as I am concerned you are currently in my Domain. Since you entertained me loads I will give you the choice of being my servant or disappear from this place.", said Satan.

Lucifer smiled and was thinking inwardly:" This bastard pulling the same trick as he tried to pull on me, bahahaha! Satan you little wicked whore, unlucky for you, you cant smell the Pride this Aleg emenates. He wont be bowing to nobody!"

Aleg was honestly shocked. "The choice once again is either to serve like a loyal dog or fucking disappear. What happens if my soul disappears anyways? I guess, I just cease to exist forever... I am being thrown from a hot pot to a frying pan. Fuck it, I decided to change my way of thinking in that small shit hole and even if Heaven and Hell is against me, I will continue to fight!"

"I choose to disappear, since I am neither God's nor Satan's servant.", I calmly stated.

Satan smirked and replied:"Very well, time for you to disappear." A whip magically appeared in his hands and with a slick movement. the whip was around Aleg's neck covering the blood-red line of his. Without thinking Aleg grasped the whip and tried to break free, however with another slick movement Aleg was thrown into the air and as he crashed onto the ground, he noticed that he was in the middle of a magic teleportation circle, which suddenly had appeared.

The Magic circle activated and Aleg was being teleported. I only heard a small laughter and the words "Good choice to disappear."

"Once again, you are displaying pure wickedness. What would you have done, if he had chosen to become your servant?", Lucifer asked.

"What a stupid question. Do you think I would have a dog that bites his owner as a servant? Fuck that shit. I would have devoured his soul",

Satan replied," ..hopefully he will appreciate the small present I have give him."

Lucifer made himself on his way to his domain thinking about the words of Satan and what present he could have given Aleg.

Aleg felt like he was being flushed down a toilet. Everything was twirling around and the feeling of space and time being bent almost made him throw up. Suddenly the twirling came to a halt and another scenery was unfolding before his eyes.

He saw tons of dead trees, no wonder considering the earth looked dark red. "What is this fancy sound, do I hear voices?", Aleg pondered. As he approached the source, which disturbed the deadly silence in the forest, he saw a group of two men and three women talking to each other next to a river. He greeted the group and everyone silenced.

"Who is he?"

"Don't you normally appear next to the river like we did?"

"Maybe he forgot to catch the ferry?"

"Must be it. Everyone hears the demonic voice once saying to wait for the ferryman."

And the last woman asked Aleg:"Are you the ferryman?"

The others from the group sighed and screamed in unison:"You dumb whore, does he look like a ferry man to you? He has no freaking boat! You should suck some more, so you have the possibility of getting a smart shot!"

Aleg was truly dumbfounded, since that woman, who had been called a dumb whore had voluptuos breasts, long black silky hair, eyes green like the most beautiful emerald stone in the world and skin as white as the moonflower.

"So who are you?" Asked him the one eyed man.

Aleg responded:" Nobody, just a travelling soul. I have been everywhere. On earth, in Heaven and Hell."

"Kay, got'cha you are a compulsive liar.", he declared".. we two are pirates and 2 of those women are thieves and the last big breasted girl is literally the dumb whore."

The dumb whore introduced herself:"My name is Annie and yours?"

"Aleg.", i monotonously said.

-"ooooh, nice to meet you Aleg!", she happily stated while clapping her hands.

The one eyed pirate broke down the conversation before it could get started with:" Enough of the chit chatting, the ferryman is approaching!"

"Welcome to the styx river damned souls. My name is Charron the ferryman. I will grant you a safe passage through the river styx, which holds the lost souls. In case you do not want to enter Hell's realm or you do not have a coin with you for the entry fee, you can choose to either jump off this boat to join the river styx or work on a construction site to earn your money. The lost souls have the ability to visit their loved ones every full moon until the day they die. With their loved ones death, the lost soul ceases to exist and vanishes forever into the Land of the Void.", thus Charron's long introduction ended.

"Enter the boat!", Charron commanded.

We entered the boat and Charron started rowing. We all sat in that boat without saying a single word awaiting the thing that lies in front of us. Since I knew already what awaited me in hell i was not as tense as the rest of the group. Suddenly the pirate with both eyes jumped off the boat screaming:"I am too afraid! I Rather watch my children grow up." -"What a coward and I thought of you as a friend. We die together in battle and enter Hell's Realm together.", stated the one eyed pirate.

As he spoke, the other pirate vanished in the muddy water, because the lost souls grabbed with their white limbs for their new recruit joining their ranks.

Everyone was speechless due to the scene reminding of gruesome night stories, which were being told at campfires deep in the night.

One thief whispered to another:" We don't have any coins. Neither do I think that the dumb whore has coins. Aleg was obviously a scaredy cat, which was too afraid to join the ferry the first time, since he did not have any money with him. I bet he made his mind up to jump into the styx river at the very end."

The other thief replied quietly:" Let's rob the pirate, he must have money!"

As soon as the thieves made their move, they were magically catapulted into the styx river and Charron explained:" I grant safe passages for my souls and honestly speaking most people in that river were offenders trying to commit petty crimes on my boat. Hehehe, but it is always a nice view, when you see someone jumping out of their own will."

Aleg saw the approaching gate, which had skulls as its pillar and the doors were made out of thousands of layers of bat wings.

Bumpppp, they hit the shore and Charron wished them their farewells.

Aleg approached the gate with the pirate and the prostitute. All were amazed by the sight they saw. A talking threeheaded big sized dog!

"My name is Cerberus, the gate's Guardian. Woof. Pay up! Woof!"

Me and the pirate answered, that we didnt have any coins.

Cerberus rumbled forth:"If you cannot pay, you are obliged to work at the construction site repairing our city walls for one month."

Cerberus sniffed Aleg, oogled the number 666 on the back of his neck and continued:" I am sorry for not recognizing a noble faster, your entry is free!"

This is where their ways split, the one eyed pirate went to work for the entry fee and Aleg went inside with the whore Annie after she had paid up.

Cerberus was still astonished to see a noble from Hell walking around in the deadwoods and using the ferry. Nonetheless Cerberus shouldnt interfere in a Nobleman's business. He shruggged off his thoughts and welcomed Aleg and Annie to the city of Petoskrim.
