Grilfer now began sucking the soul directly from Lauren. Her soul lifted from her body as it lived the countless repetition of the nightmare she had been facing. With a snap, the soul of the young woman separated from her body and was now standing next to Grilfer in a state of mania as her soul continued to live out the same nightmare, loop after loop.
Grilfer took the soul by the arm and summoned the portal he had arrived in. The intense heat from the flames of Hell flickering in the portal. This poor soul was now heading to Grilfer's father, the God of Death. This young woman's soul was now a solider for the Dark Lord in the Great Soul War. Grilfer led the soul into the portal and the portal closed behind them.
Grilfer now in the company of Lauren's soul, made his way deep into Hell and towards the Enslaver.
"I've brought you a new young soul for my father" Grilfer said
"This one needs a lot of work before she is ready for war. I think it would be wise if I show her what it is to suffer and then she may be ready to fight for the Great Lord of Darkness" the Enslaver replied in a high screeching voice.
The Enslaver grabbed Lauren's soul and dragged it along the ground towards a tall structure positioned against the wall. He grabbed her and placed each wrist in a restraint before repeating the same process with her ankles. Lauren was still living out the constant nightmare, watching herself die, to even realise what was about to come. The Enslaver made his way over to a wheel and began to turn it. With each turn the straps on both her hands and ankles began to tighten as they were pulled further away from her body. The Enslaver continued to twist the wheel; Lauren now felt the pain of her limbs being stretched as if they were going to tear from her body.
"The soul may not be a physical substance like flesh and bone young soul, but it can still feel pain" the Enslaver shouted across to the newly tormented soul.
Grilfer's work here was done and it was time to head out and find the next victim to serve his father's cause. The Enslaver continued to work on Lauren, torturing her until she was broken enough to fit in the Great Soul War without fear of pain and suffering, that was the key.
Back on the street, the young woman's body lay motionless, just like the one she had been trying to save. Her body was rigid and vacant of all life. It was pale and the colour had been removed from her eyes, she was empty inside.
Grilfer had spent centuries travelling the world and the universe, collecting souls for his father in order to keep the Great Soul War going. The Lord of Darkness refused to lose to the God of Light and life and this loop hole had allowed him to feed his solider numbers without letting nature take its course giving him the upper hand.
One thing that neither Grilfer or his father knew however was that there had been a spy in their ranks, a spy who had found out valuable information many lifetimes ago. The spy was there the day that Grilfer found out his fate, the day a rock fell in the distance behind a young Grilfer causing him to flee the scene.
Solveig knew all about Grilfer and what he was doing for his father and she had never forgotten this. She had a plan, a plan centuries in the making.
