House of mysteries, 6 years ago
John Constantine and his girlfriend Zatanna Zatara were slumped down on their bed. He was smoking his after sex cigarette and she was stretching herself.

Thump
"Did you hear that?" Zatanna sat up.
"Hear what?" John sat up, he heard thumping, like a heartbeat, thinking it was his own.
Tss Tss Tss
Thump
"There's a sound, something is hissing," Zatanna got up and muttered a spell to get dressed.
Tss Tss Tss
Thump
"Love, I think you're hearing things-" John dismissed her wondering why was his heartbeat so loud.

"There can't you hear it?" Zatanna ran in the direction of the sound.
"Right," John got to his feet and followed his girlfriend.
"WOHS FLESRUOY,' Zatanna spoke.
Nothing happened.

"Zee," John whispered and pointed to the source of light.
"LAEVER FLESRUOY," Zatanna spoke again.
"Not going to work Zee," John heard something echoing in his head, it sounded like breathing, like someone who's been deprived of air is trying to fill their lungs as much as possible, then fast thumping, and a cry for help, then everything went quiet, he was just hearing the breathing.
"What is this?" Zatanna looked at the ball of fire.
"No idea," John felt drawn to it, a hell fire ball, that shouldn't be here.
"PORD," a box fell from the fire, Zatanna reached for it but it burned her.
"If fell from a fire ball, give it a second to cool off," John mocked.
Constantine
"Who's here?" John asked turning in the direction of the new voice.
"No one," Zatanna answered him annoyed, "just this box."
Constantine, you have 2 years to prepare
"I demand to speak to the entity within," John's hands started glowing as muttered a spell and reached the coffer, "whoever you are I compel you to show yourself."
I am not who you need to worry about, open the case and all shall be revealed
"What are you hearing?" Zatanna asked.
"I have to open the case," he knelt in front of it, "it smells like hell."
"It can't be that bad-"
"No, Zee, like hell, hell, you know pits of hell the demons, that hell-"
"Don't open it then, you know what the powers of hell do to the house," she said worried.
"The house of mysteries has been expecting the package for 16 years, it has finally reached its first destination, only John Constantine can open it, but don't reach for its content, it is not yours to hold nor is it yours to wield," the house answered, both of them heard it.
