Mutants, the Homo Superior
For some, humanity's future, for others, a horrible disease. For everyone, an anomaly
But for the mutants themselves? A challenge that begins the minute they're born, thrown into a fight that not even the Avengers dare ste...
Away from the confines of Earth. Far beyond anything human, was Limbo
One of Hell's many dimensions, and as such, home of fire and demons
To one Illyana Rasputin, however, a cage disguised as a kingdom
Once a pure soul, the queen of Limbo now roamed the library of her castle. Books not only demonic in nature, but benevolent, and even some written by saints
It was a collection that could give the sorcerer supreme of Earth a run for his money
But even with such an impressive array of knowledge, all she could do was stare with lifeless eyes
A good chunk of these books she had already read, some of which she had read more than once
Truth is, Illyana just wanted to visit this place, with no real reason. Finding comfort in a dimension of her own, perhaps?
It wasn't a place she would call home, but it was one she would find herself returning to
Even if Limbo itself didn't always welcome her with open arms
Without warning, the door flew off its hinges, brutally opened by a large purple demon

"Not another day under your heel, pathetic whelp!"
Behind this hulking beast, demons rallied and screamed as they raised their weapons
Illyana quickly recovered from the blast and glared at the being, immediately recognizing it. How could she not? It was the same beast that took personal pleasure in her torture
Illyana: S'ym
The horde poured into the room, quickly surrounding the girl, who recalled her Soulsword to her side. The weapon roared with a blue glow once she held it, ready for service
Illyana: You dare?!
She got up and pointed the flaming sword at him
Illyana: I'll have your head for this, filthy dog meat
But this threat only earned a chuckle from the demon. He taunted her with a grin
S'ym: Come and get it, brat
Illyana's eyes glowed before she let out a roar and charged at the intruders. The demons wasted no time and rushed in as well, clawing at their queen, only to be cut down by her mighty weapon
She cut the arm of a monster before jumping back to avoid a fireball, then she used her magic to burn the beast in front of her and cut down the one attempting to ambush her
Illyana: You are all so grounded!
As was expected, the feral beasts stood no chance against her, even in their overwhelming numbers, and it wasn't long before she found herself face-to-face with S'ym
