Living Hell

Chapter 18: The Sins: Gluttony Part 2

Just before the massive Faminor swallowed me I heard Sagiv roar in ultimate frustration and anger.

I felt myself slide down the mucus throat of the giant Faminor along with the earth it had picked up as well and something...furry?

Odd...

I slid down the throat of the beast like one would on a water slide until finally hitting something...solid?

What the hell...?

Suddenly a brightness blinded me, my eyes surprised by the unexpected light caused me to squint.

As my eyes adjusted slowly I found I was in a chamber lit by torches. The chamber was sort of flesh-like, but held a more solid quality to it; tunnels were in every direction.

I went to stand up when a little ball of feathers and fluff launched itself at me.

"Akyra!" I exclaimed, shocked to see her with me.

She whimpered softly, the changes of so many Sin realms starting to take its toll on her.

"Do you know if the others will join us?" I asked her.

She shook her eared head and hopped off of me.

"Wonderful. Swallowed by a giant worm which just so happens to be a building and I might be lost. Now...which way to go?" I muttered in irritation.

I watched as Akyra chirped and raced down a tunnel. I quickly followed suit and stopped short of entering a huge throne room.

Well... It was suppose to give the appearance of a throne room. In reality it was a massive flesh chamber like the last I had been in. Bodies lay dead on the...floor, if that's what one could call the solid fleshy mass beneath my feet.

Blood pooled in what appeared to be drains of some sort in the chamber, creatures I hadn't seen of this realm lay in a green blob-like form towards the back of the chamber where a throne...made out of fresh, bloody body parts sat with the Sin known as Gluttony.

Gluttony was a vile creature; massive fat rolls poured over his huge thighs. Within the rolls were wide, monsterous mouths with jagged teeth. Giant arms supported an oddly muscled chest and on top of his extreme body sat a horned head with pointed ears.

I shuddered and with that simple movement Gluttony's eyes snapped open to me and a slow, sharp-toothed grin spread across its impish head.

"Welcome...young one. I see you've manage to stumble into my realm. However, for you that is very bad," Gluttony chuckled and his many mouths grinned, oozing blood tinted saliva.

I flinched and cautiously stepped forward when the green blobs jerked their heads up. I noticed that the blobs looked to be a mixture of some animal with huge teeth and small, beady eyes yet they had no definite shape- just like...well...a blob.

Both lifted their lips in a gruesome snarl and looked back at Gluttony to whine when I took another step forward.

"Not yet, my pets," Gluttony said, tone practically filled with sympathy.

My lip unintentionally curled in disgust and I heard myself voice my thoughts without thinking. "What are those things?!"

Gluttony studied me with his flint eyes before shrugging and replying. "These are Amorphas. Shape shifters, yet not. They contain no shape and can never contain any."

"Then whats-" My words died on my lips when I noticed a blob- Amorphas- slinking towards me at such a rapid speed I only had time to put my hands up as a defense when I was slammed with the sheer force of the Amorphas.
