"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown"

There was a flash of light, and a portal tore open from it. Five brave souls had made their way into the unknown

However, it was hardly the entrance they would expect, as the portal opened in the air as opposed to the ground, and their descent began the moment the portal closed

Fortunately for them, the reddish sand helped to cushion their fall, but that didn't mean it was a pleasant one, however

A series of groans and grunts followed as everyone lied on the sand for a moment

Piotr: Is everyone okay?

You: That...wasn't... the softest landing...

Logan: I've had worse

He sat up and snapped his arm back into place, much to the disgust of the closest X-Men

Elizabeth: Speak for yourself

Illyana: I'm so sorry. Without the Soulsword, my stepping discs have become much harder to control!

You: Not your fault. That's what we're here to fix

The girl let out a sigh as she got up and dusted herself off

Illyana: I'm just happy we didn't land in another time

The older woman stopped to look at her

Elizabeth: Another what? Can you do that?

She got a nod from the girl

Illyana: It's...not something I like to mess with

While this exchange went on, you got up and took in the scenery. A feeling of dread took over the minute you looked up

Chunks of rock floated in the blood-red skies, with demons flying in the distance, as well as screams and monstrous roars echoing

Lava flowed where water should be. No structure was in sight, just rock and ruin. The soul itself shuddered just by being here

Illyana took notice of this and made her way over to you

Illyana: What do you think, teach? Cozy, huh?

You looked back at her, unsure of what to make of it, but even then, you put the best smile you could muster

You: It's... unique

The blonde couldn't help but laugh at this

Illyana: You don't have to be kind here. I know it is a nightmare

The others got to their feet and took in their surroundings

It wasn't long before everyone was back on their feet and got their bearings and of course, their reactions were similar to yours
