Spawn POV

Why is it so boring down here, I swear it's the same thing over and over again. Soul comes down to hell, they get processed and I guess fortunately I get to stamp the seal of approval on these "poor" souls. That's the job of the prince from the kings of this stupid place. I just want to be free and explore the world, but noooo I have to be an example and be a good prince for dear daddy and daddy. I know what you are thinking, how lucky am I! Live forever and have bad ass daddy kings of hell for parents, but no, it's not cool. They constantly nag about, what are you doing with your life, why don't you show them who's boss, go to purgatory and hurt some souls or go pull some flesh of the new souls or you like the pineapples stuff...boring!!!

I want to be were the action is, see what's out there and see how the humans live, I mean, they are so weak, but yet so strong in mind and perseverance. They know what tough love is and how hard it can quickly be taken away. But my parents think it's so mundane and so uncouth of me to be up there.

Ya, I was there once before, but I didn't think Julius Caesar would get assassinated right after my first contract...I was just a noob, I mean anyone would have made the same mistake, right?! I have been in this position ever since and hate every second of it. But dad Phun says It's supposed to build "character" um, I am in hell and stamping souls foreheads, how does that build "character"?!

As I am sitting there on the conveyor belt stamping the souls forehead with the numbers 666, I hear foot steps coming my way.

Noh - Hey, let Jae take over, I want to have a chat.

Spawn - Really him, you know how aggressive he is, he literately slaps them so hard they almost get whiplash and he yells "WOOMP!" every time!

Noh - Hey, let him have some fun, he is here for the next 1000 years before he's allowed up.

Spawn - whatever. Jae, you're up! PLEASE don't knock any heads off, if you do, you clean the mess!! (I hand him the stamp and walk towards my dad)

Jae - Woohoo, you got it cap! (as I am walking away, you can hear him in the background scream "WOOMP!" and the souls screaming after each one)

Dad leads me out of the chamber and into the halls of souls, he conjures up a couple of chairs for us to sit on. I slump down on the one he hasn't taken and just give him this look of "what the fuck do you want I am bored out of my ass, I hate you so much right now"look.

Noh - Don't give me that look...I know you are bored and you are so hating it, but come on. Don't you enjoy it at all?

Spawn - Dad, what's to enjoy, I sit there all day stamping souls foreheads!

Noh - ya ya, I get it...OK, what do you want to do and don't get all little mermaid with the "I want to be were the people are!"!

Spawn - But DAD, that's where I want to be, I know I messed up the first time, but how am I supposed to learn from my mistakes, if you don't give me a chance?

Noh - How did I know you were going to say that..ugh. OK fine! BUTTT!! If I do let you go up there you have conditions on what I will allow what happens! I don't need the Mister above giving me gripe about what troubled you caused.

Spawn - OMG! DAD are you serious?!( I quickly sit up and have this huge grin on me)

Noh - (he starts to chuckle because of my enthusiasm) Yes, I have already talked with Phun about it and he's fine with it. But I did have to do some convincing (he starts to move around his seat uncomfortably). So here are the conditions, first, you will only be allowed to have a little power, like make people sleep, control dreams and the whole take their souls kind of thing, but that is it. Also, you will only be allowed to have one contract and you will have to survive up there for the next 100 years on your own and no help from us. (he winks at me and whispers) I will help, but don't let dad know.
