   For the first time in a long time, Hart felt like a lost child. He followed Riley through the portal and came out on the other side with eyes wide open. It was incredibly dark and cold with clouds all around them. They were standing on a platform high above . . . nothing. There was nothing beneath them. It was a bridge that went on endlessly in the grim mysterious world.

Inside the clouds there were flashes of purple lightning but they made no sound. The bridge was transparent and glossy. It was the only solid thing Hart could see. He kept getting the feeling that he was going to fall off the bridge and into the unknown and that truthfully frightened him. And Hart was rarely scared of anything. But this was new to him.

"Where are we?" he asked, holding on to The Obsidian Witch's hand.

"My home."

In that moment a colossus tentacle appeared from under them and rose high above their heads. A monstrous growl emerged after the tentacle and it was so loud it shook the bridge. The tentacle was black and metallic, not organic at all. It slithered and moved like a serpent but nothing about it felt like it was real to Hart.

The tentacle lowered down on the bridge and stopped moving. Riley climbed on top of it and looked at Hart, waiting for him to do the same. Skeptically, Hart followed and stepped over the creature, cautiously holding on to the witch as it rose back up into the air and moved forward. It was fast and gained a lot of speed, causing strong wings to push against their faces. None of the scenery changed, it was all the same, with the same single bridge, but that was until they reached their destination and climbed off the tentacle.

There was another platform at the end of the bridge. This one was larger and more detailed. It was all still made out of the mysterious glass the bridge was made of. It was in the shape of a circle with tall bookcases surrounding it. In the middle of the platform there was a massive sphere just like the one that Siren had, only hers you could hold in your hand, this one was massive. It was sunk into the platform but as Riley walked closer to it, it rose above ground and spun.

"Have you ever seen how big hell truly is?" Riley asked as he touched the sphere with both hands, his sharp fingers making a noise against it as if they were both made of glass.

"I thought hell was endless?"

Riley chuckled. "No, but it can be."

The witch gave the sphere a fierce whirl and as it spun, it turned into a planet. But it was not just any planet, it was hell. This confused Hart even more. Before all of this, he believed he knew everything, but he was so wrong.

"This is all of hell?" Hart asked, examining the terrain of the planet closely.

"Yes. It expands as more souls come, so in a way you're right, it's endless."

Riley moved the sphere until he found a specific spot. It was Rev. The biggest city in hell. The magic ball zoomed into the city and straight into the castle. They were now watching inside as if they were watching a television screen. Siren appeared, walking with a few other demons.

"We can't hear them but we can watch them. She's preparing a war against you," Riley said calmly.

"How do you know that?"
