They walked in an rather uncomfortable silence for about twenty minutes Zack a pace or two behind him not entirely sure where Peter was leading him before Peter came to a halt and turned to look at Zack.
"We are here my young master." his voice cold but Zack could hear the pain in his voice. The fact that Zack had chosen to sacrifice his best friend to get the girl he loved had just started to sink in. Peter loved him and he's willing to give up his own life because he merely wanted Zack to be happy.
Peter placed a hand on Zacks shoulder and gave him a light shake to get his attention. Zack snapped back to reality and saw where they had come to. It was a grand oak door with beautiful carvings of what appeared to be demons of some sort being smitted by some holy figure. Zack didn't know much about biblical lore but took a moment to admire the craftsmanship of it.
"It's the scene when the seven deadly sins were sent down from heaven. They were like guard dogs and the gates but they felt that they weren't respected by those they fallowed so they tried to over throw heaven but the lord sent his angels and had the beasts damned to hell even the fallen angel Lucifer ruler of that realm had no desire for them and had the black twisted gates of hell shut when they were damned. So they were forced to take to this world and corrupt the beings that inhabited, your kind master, the humans once so pure now they are driven by this corruption." Peter explained.
"I thought the seven deadly sins were demons to serve the devil." Zack said rather confused.
"No they were merely guard dogs who felt they were owed more than what they were actually worth. How the tale came to be that the served the devil came to be i do not know and i apologize for it." Peter apologized as he unlocked the door and gestured for him to enter the room.
Zack stepped inside, the room itself was generally bland and bleak compared to the rest of the lair. There was only one thing that was there in the room a table no chairs or anything just a table. Zack walked up to it to inspect the well crafted surface. It was made of stone and ancient and demented.
"Peter what is this?" Zacks voice echoed off the walls back to the center of the room.
He did not receive an answer by voice but of the oak door behind him slamming shut and locking. Zack snapped around and charged the door but knew that his efforts would be worthless. Peter had sealed him inside had most likely no intention of letting him go.
Even though Peter told him nothing of the details of how to bring Alice back Peter need time to prep the ritual and Zack need to focus on her to bring her back so some time alone will be good for the younger man while Peter begins the end of this life and the start of the next one.
