The Nobodies: Hell's Heroes (Incomplete)

Prologue (continued)

In the deepest darkest pit of Hell, a dark and powerful figure sits upon a throne of black and gold staring intently into a pit of fire displaying a black diamond shaped object divided into five sections with spikes protruding from every angle, the center pulsing a persistent blood red light. A hunched creature the size of a man emerges from the shadows and kneels lopsidedly before the figure on the throne.
"It is time master. The Pentagram pulses. A new era has begun." announced the creature in a raspy voice and a submissive tone.
"I've noticed this. Inform the rest of the Circle. Tell them to begin the Hunt and that I require their presence." orderred the figure in a voice that seemed to quake the earth.
"Yes master." the creature hissed before beginning to skulk back to the shadows. All the bones in his body began to dislocate and reassemble into the shape of a man wearing a clean pressed suit. The "man" paused before asking, "Do you believe this era to be the one that has been foretold?"
The figure seemed to ponder this before replying, "It very well may be. That is my place to worry. You worry about keeping the Punished subjected and miserable, Mr.President." he said the title with a tinge of mock and disgust.
"Yes sir." acknowledged the man-shaped demon before exitting through a heavy solid stone door. The door openned to a brief view of perfect green grass and a large rectangular pond which reflected a towerring white pillar made of white stone.
