Blake stretched her arms over her head then collapsed back into her chair with a happy sigh. Finally. All her work was done. She'd gotten so far behind she though she'd never catch up.
Satan had quelled most of the rebellion after an attack the other day. Ezalius had managed to get the backup of souls assigned after a natural disaster sent her a large wave she was not ready for. Circe was training a new batch of recently accepted demons.
And then there was this one. Blake looked at the angel that had decided taking a nap in her office was an appropriate thing to do.
Was she drooling on the desk? Blake had thought angels didn't sleep actually. Seeing one bent over in her chair, head on a hardwood desk, was not the pure image of an angels humans loved to preach.
There were four main cities in hell. The largest was affectionately dubbed "Hell City". That was the largest by far. About a third of all demons lived there and it held about 60% of all souls in hell.
Ecrtria had been where most monsters lived when they controlled the realm. It was the second largest city with most of the remaining demon population. generally her soul collectors and deal trading demons.
Then Deretin where the worst of the worst souls were punished. Aside from those would and the demons who worked there, it was almost abandoned. Amusingly the only location in the entire realm where it was cold.
And finally Akris, a vacation place more than anything else. It was a natural location for hot springs. It was also where Blake held her fighting festivals and there were various other events. It was a party city at the best of times and quiet at the worst.
Between the cities was mostly forested area. Plants that could kill a human as fast as the demons. Demons chose to stay out of those areas generally due to the creatures within them. ShadowBeasts, dragonkin, and plenty more lurked in the darkness between tightly packed trees.
Some of the creatures dating back to when this realm was owned by the monsters. Some monsters had hunted the beasts to show their pride and skills. Demons were smart enough to leave them alone and not get themselves killed.
The whole seven circles of hell thing was a human myth born from their 7 part categorization for souls, yes based off the seven sins. Not something she wanted to get into a head ramble about right now.
"I'm done." Blake said, using a small stack of papers to tap Dalphia on the head to wake her.
"I'm up..." Dalphia muttered, moving her arm under her head but not actually waking.
"No you're not." Blake got up from her desk and took a moment to stretch until she heard a satisfying pop. That felt better. "Get up, we're going."
