Delusions in a Broken World

Chapter 5 : Home

The Underworld, in one form or another has always been fabricated in recorded history. from the Annwfyn in Celtic mythology to the most common of today, Hell. Could it be a void filled with lost souls or a lava filled surfer pit constructed to torture the souls of the wicked, maybe it's something a little more tame like a second living world below the one we know. Maybe its an endless game of candy land you are forced to play with screaming kids while tied to a stump for all eternity. In the end the only beings that really know what this underworld is like are those that reside there.

Lilum takes a deep breath as she steps into the red glow of the gate, followed by Eno who is dragging Bala up the stairs by her ankle.  A twist of energy wraps around them when they break the threshold, The rush of energy comes to a halt as their feet touch the floor of an open dome shaped room. Red floors and light red walls stretch out around them and in the center a toll booth like the ones found at an amusement park. Lilum takes in the surroundings as the content look on her face starts to radiate anger as she walks heavily toward the booth. "WELCOME! PLEASE PRESENT YOUR PA..." a loud voice stops as Lilum reaches past the bars of the booth window and smashes the booth operators face against them. "Melvis are you trying to piss me off?" Lilum says through her teeth in a growl. "Everyone has to have a pass" Melvis says face mushed up against the bars. Lilum lets go and smiles "thats all you need?" she says turning around. "yes?' Melvis says back seeming confused. "Hows this then?" Lilum says as her body begins to expand waves of energy poured out as she took a more adult size and shape. "Oh please no.." Melvis uttered in terror. "oh please yes" Lilum mocked in a sadistic tone as she turned and stepped into a punch going strait through the booth and connecting to Melvis's face, The air hummed at the impact as it sent Melvis ripping through the back side of the booth and slamming into the large rooms wall. 

Lilum stood there a second dusting off her arm as two small tattered bat like wings worked their way through the slits on her leather jacket. Her true form the pentacle of rock and roll sex appeal, From her leather vest with studs, and cotton band tank top to her leather pants, torn and missing one leg. She swept the long front of her black undercut hair off of her now more prominent horns with a quick motion of her hand as she turned to Eno "Lets get out of this shit hole and go talk to Lavis" Eno nods grabbing Bala's ankle as she follows. Lilum Steps up to the large metal door past the toll booth opposite of the gate and pulls up her foot and snaps it outward with an impact the shook the ground knocking the huge metal doors off the hinges and outward onto the now visible street of a city square. "IM HOME BITCHES!" Her voice rips across the city in front of them the light ripple of dust as her voice rung out. The demons around seemed to be annoyed but also seemed scared to say anything as everyone stopped to look her direction. Lilum shrugs "No love? like for real? She places her hands behind her head in a relaxed demeanor and begins to walk down the main street "Let's go Eno" Eno walks pretty close still dragging the now face down Bala along the road, "She looks a lot different than I remember" Lilum whispers loudly as she turns and walks backwards. "It'ss her Mithtresss, I remember how thhat body looked." Eno Replies in a almost sinister tone. "Good enough for me.." Lilum says as she spins around swiping food from a vendor stall, Walking toward the center of the city.
