Jason and Phoebe take control of the million or so humans they accidentally teleported to the Tarus II Human Relocation Zone from the rest of Tarus II and the Core. The ‘HRZ’ acts as a population buffer, allowing them to figure out who all the humans they transferred to their capitol world are, what their…
Maia, the Duke of Empathy, drops to her knees and kowtows before Emperor Belial. "Thank you! Thank you, Samantha. Our Hell is in debt to you!" "It’s like you said." Belial says, shooting a complicated look at Jason beside her. "It’s still my Hell. I do feel a little responsible for all of you. And…
Tarus II, a few hours earlier. Jason stands inside the bottom of the Lazarus tower, staring in awe at a series of ten differently colored magical orbs hovering in midair. These orbs slowly rotate around a pillar of light that travels to the top of the Lazarus Tower, where it reaches the tower’s roof and…
Hell Harbor. One week after the Cherubiim attack which left millions of demons dead. Hundreds of noblesse demons, including high-ranking Barons, Dukes from most of the Seven Hells, and their Emperors as well, all gather and sit upon ornately crafted demonstone pews in a wide-open, barren field, where a makeshift obelisk and ceremonial alter has…
Annette sits beside Hope’s bed, quietly watching over the Wordsmith while he sleeps. The hours stretch into days, and visitors come and go, but aside from eating food delivered to her by various medical staff and occasionally saying hello to her sister when Debra drops by, she remains content to sit beside the man she…
Tarus II, inside a makeshift community center where people sit indoors to wind down after a long day. Hundreds of tables sit inside the large, dome-roofed building, while lightbulbs powered by the internal mana and energy of the patrons illuminate the ground below. The air itself glows faintly blue due to the magically-powered illumination, giving…
Jason and his spirit-wife join her physical self and Blinker to walk over to a nearby computer terminal. Despite the data-bead’s odd shape and seeming lack of any way to put it into a computer, Phoebe still figures out how to activate it. She takes it from Jason, holds it near the terminal, and a…
Raphael, Uriel, and Michael all stare in absolute shock at the woman curled up in the corner of the room, her arms wrapped around her legs. Cassiel, apparently known as Heaven’s Daughter, blinks her watery eyes as her gaze flicks between the three Archangels, yet she says nothing. Instead, a look of deep shame appears…
An alarm blares inside the Labyrinth Core. Hundreds of humans, monsters, and demons jump into action, rushing to activate their T-REX armor and take up defensive positions while aiming at the newly-rebuilt double doors leading out of the Core. Powerful restriction magic coats the walls, making it impossible for Mephisto to slither around and pop…
Unlike most of the Seven Hells, members of the Second Hell of Lust do not live on any specified capitol world. Rather, their many assorted Dukes live on the distant reaches of Hell Harbor, while their lower-ranked members live right inside the Labyrinth, where they have ready access to humans and other demons alike. Consisting…
