The cake was simple yet beautiful it was a small 3 layer cake that had gold and blue roses falling down one side.

"I'll drive," Lucien suddenly said as he grabbed the keys.

"Fine," I replied as I got in the passenger seat with the cake strapped and secured at the back.

I was looking outside the window as Lucien drove away. Switzerland was really beautiful. The sky was a mix of a bluish grey with various shades of grey and blue splashed across ot giving the sky an ombre effect.

My eyes were glued onto the beautiful, colourful houses passed by. The landscape too was just breathtaking. Snow covered grasslands with small hints of dark greens and browns peeking through and snowy mountains were just so eye catching. And the amount of small streams frozen over was a lot, like a lot. I really wanted to come here when it was spring it would probably be breathtakingly beautiful greenery.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? It looks like something that an artist has forgotten to blend in properly, the sky I mean,''  he suddenly spoke up making me swivel my head at him as I had forgotten that I was not alone in the car.

"Hmm, now that you said it, it does," I said looking back at the sky.

"You said you paint right? What do you paint?" I asked turning back towards him.

He smiled at that, "Lots of things, anything that catches my attention, scenery, people, demons, food,"

"Can you show me a painting of yours?" I asked smiling.

"Hmm... when we're in hell I'll show you,"

That got me buffering for a moment because what the heck, me going to hell? Oh right, for a wedding. I don't think that's something most if not any person can say. Then again I'm not most people.

"It's not that bad down there you know....well some parts,"

"That's reassuring," I muttered.

"What about you? Do you do something to relax?"

"I write codes," I snorted. He looked at me all confused so I elaborated.

"Coding, it's how you create apps. You have your phone right? All those apps on it were made by codes. I've launched two games so far and another one's set to be launched next month."

"So you do your job in your free time," he asked eyebrow raised.

"That's not...." I paused and sighed. He had a point. I changed the subject, more like redirected it back to hell as it terrified but intrigued me.

"Tell me more,"

"What?"

"About hell, What it's like there, What to expect, I don't know... stuff...about hell,"

"It used to be a a pit of fire. Hence the fiery pits of hell. After the.... incident I found myself in the pit of fire. I used a lot of my celestial power to control the fire to a certain area.

Which is where the souls deemed to be sinful go for their punishment to..... well burn.

It's really not bad down there because there are other demons and cities and also other punishments other than burning it depends on your sins, once you've paid for your sins enough you'll get to live a life of luxury, by hell's standards, which also depends on the amounts of merits before reincarnation."

"That's....new information, also you said deem sinful but isn't every soul that goes to hell sinful?"

"They are but sins vary no? For example, you could have been a kid and been jealous that your younger sibling got more attention, is that a sin punishable by burning in a fire pit?"
