Ahazu: story of the fire demon
"Ugh... how much more of this"
*we start our story in hell, yes... not the usual place to start, BUT we star no usual being*
"i swear....if that prick knows whats good for him, he'll stay down."
*a blue demon, sporting a green chest, and face patterns looms over a bloody of a similar orange fire demon. he clasps his right eye with his bloody claws*
hmmm... he wont mind if i take these now
*he bends down and takes up a red packet of cigs, and casually lights one on his tail which is still burning bright with anger. he blinks and his glowing, deep serpiintine like eyes turn to a mellower, calmer shade of geen*
still clasping his eye he calmly states; well that teaches that prick for being such a self absorbed prat, hell not like he went down without a fight though.... seems like level one tortures didnt effect his dirty tricks....
*he contemplates whether he will ever escape the desolate and hostile territory of hell.*

damn nights gonna be here soon, better clean up before i get caught unaware...
*see even death in hell (for a demon at least) is permanant, and being out after nightfall is not wise, especially for a demon with a duff eye.*

suddenly a huge spire of light beams up in the distance, across the planes of hell, penetrating the sky acting as a beacon with an eerie glow. luckily this is what the demon is searching for, as it has been told that THAT spire of light, is the key to ascencion...rebirth.

shit...not much further, you dint come this far to die now Ahazu. the demon speaks to himself as he urges himself forward, through the fresh and deep wounds, he faces the difficult choice of waiting out nightfall and risking the trail going cold or travelling through night at a risk of death. *he rather likes being alive* he collapses under a near stoney outcrop exhausted and crippled in pain. not perfect, but it will have to do...

day arrives with the usual harshness and unpleasantness you would expect from hell. Ahazu awakes to find himself next to a large round tablet on the floor... he had heard of this, could it be... to portal tab...?

"hey Prick" Ahazus anticipation of the find is abruptly disturbed as he finds a rather large, rather pissed off earth demon. "what the fuck do you want stranger" replies ahazu.
"get this piece of shit to work!!!" the earth demon demands
how the fuck would i do that Ahazu interjects.
Ahazu then turns his back, but suddenly hears a loud rumble, he turns to see a rock being hurled towards him.

*see, if you want to know one thing about an earth demon its that you dont turn your back to one and live*

Ahazu narrowly misses the boulder with a skillfull side roll, and quickly answers back with a flameball to the gut, somewhat weakened by the current state of his body.

This just seems to aggitate the earth demon as he then charges towards towards ahazu, this give ahazu good cause to run as as the earth demon is the only mortal being stronger than a fire demon.

Suddenly a blinding light surges through the area, both demons stop and turn to see the deep azure light penetrating the sky in a beam, the source of which the tablet stone. Ahazu takes the opportunity to knock back the earth demon while off gaurd with a steady fire wave, hitting hard as the earth demon falls to his hind legs.

At this point ahazu puts all physical pain behind him as he sprints towards the portal, there by a while before the earth demon. unbeknownst to Ahazu, the earth demon pulls out a water arrow, and aims at ahazu's head, just before Ahazu reaches the top of the portal, the arrow is released, flying sraight and true, a blood curdelling scream can be heard , penetrating the usual groans of hell...all is silent...

*in a dingy and grey looking cemetary, Ahazu lies motionless, in a pool of blood, hours pass as a single droplet of rain land on the tip of the nose of the battered body, a deep wound across his lower abdomen bleeding alot, and a badly cut right eye.

as the single droplet trickles down his nose, a twitch can be seen from the body as a soft and barely audible groan is let out, , he turns over as he looks at himself in the reflection of a pool of blood he was previously lead in, he takes a glance then a seering pain shoots through the right side of his upper head, he moves a paw to feel as a sharp gasp is let out, and a jagged feature is felt.

he looks down in the reflection in the blood as his right horn has been sheered of just millemetres from his head. his body goes limp as a deep sigh is let out... he rolls and looks up, as the grey sky bursts down with rain, easy at first but then heavy as each droplet serves as gratitude for Ahazu, giving him his first taste of outside life.... he contemplates as he is free, from suffering and violence.... he can find love....HE CAN LIVE
