Our situation was the start of our troubles, the secret tunnels to the other rings is simple but long way compared to what we were about to see in the Wrath Ring, Satan's turf.

Back in Hell in the secret tunnels, Beth and her group had been traveling through the dark, winding tunnels for what felt like hours. The air was humid, with the occasional rumble of distant tremors echoing through the stone walls. Ickis, as usual, was muttering complaints under his breath, while Krumm dragged his feet, his eyeballs held loosely in his hands. Oblina scouted ahead, her sharp eyes scanning the path for any signs of danger. Beth, Theo, and Zaira followed close behind, Theo provided some special fireballs to faintly to light their way and without burning anything.

Zaira groaned, "How much farther? These tunnels are starting to feel endless."

Ickis then added nervously, "Guys, I think the walls are getting thinner. What if they collapse? I don't do crushed alive very well."

Oblina looked at him, "Ickis, the The walls are fine. You're just imagining things."

Krumm sniffing the air, "I don't know about the walls, but something up ahead smells...weird and it's not me or garbage. Like burnt stuff mixed with sulfur. It's making me hungry.

Theo frowned, glancing at Krumm, "How are you hungry in a place that smells like sulfur?"

"I'm always hungry." He replied

"You think we might be getting closer?" asked Ickis

"Let's find out," said Beth

The group exchanged uneasy looks before continuing and talking.

"So I don't understand these rings thing, they said there are supposed to be 9 circles, but so far we only seen 7..." asked Ickis as they walked.

Theo answered, "I don't know myself. But times could've changed, not everything is 100% accurate in some of the stories of the underworld."

Zaira then replied "According to Daria and Jane, when they read Dante's inferno, the entrance we went in through is supposed to be much more gruesome."

As they rounded the final corner, a faint orange glow began to fill the tunnel, growing brighter with each step. Finally, they emerged from the darkness and stepped out into the Wrath Ring.

The sight before them was both awe-inspiring and unsettling. The Wrath Ring stretched out like an endless, fiery wasteland.

The air was hot and dry, and the ground beneath their feet was cracked and dusty. Fields of sharp, yellow grass swayed in a faint breeze, dotted with towering cacti that looked more like twisted sculptures than plants.

In the distance, volcanoes erupted sporadically, sending streams of molten lava into the orange sky, where glowing orbs of lava floated ominously like tiny suns.
