The Aftermath of an Overturned Hell Part 1

Excitement and Worry

As Deacon was looking at Braxton he noticed the view, it was of the flowers before however there was a large fountain in the middles that connected the paths which he didn't see before."Ah i see you noticed the fountain, i just had it arranged to be put there along with the paths, it breaks up the garden quite nicely in my opinion, however we must get to the ball, i need to introduce you to our guests!" he said in an excited voice. He swiftly walked over to the door dragging Deacon along and over to the railing above everyone. "Hello dear friends, I understand you're wondering why i called all of you here tonight, well that's because we finally have a human to help us in our journey and study's!" he proclaimed Deacon heard the crowd start to talk amongst themselves seeming as if they were in confusion of sorts till one of the called out. "I thought it was against God's will for a human to come here Beelzebub." Braxton went quite and stared at the man, "what did you call me? Did i give you permission to use my old name you lesser fool." he said in a low demanding voice. "N-no sir i'm sorry ple-.' he said until a group of maids popped up from out of the crowd covering his mouth and dragged him to a separate corridor then the one Deacon came from. Deacon quickly looked at Braxton and back at the man who was being dragged away. :As the masked man walked in he looked at Deacon. "Well now, you've been out for a while and now you have a party to attend for your arrival, you coming here is a big thing for us, and you don't know it yet but you have a big role in our land." He told him. "Now you must get ready for the masquerade everyone is waiting for you." "wait wha-" Deacon said before the maids that followed behind him started getting him dressed in nice clothes. Though Deacon was embarrassed he put up with it. When they were done he was wearing a red long sleeve button up with black dress pants and black dress shoes with red laces. He was given his overalls to wear, they were black with the metal connectors being gold, along with a black leather belt with a gold buckle. "Th-these seem really ex-expensive i wouldn't want to ruin them." Deacon told the maids, "they where made for you the master just had them delivered and if anything happens to them the master could always replace them." A maid said while opening a wooden box. She handed him a white masquerade mask with red and gold lining and engraving. The master will be waiting for you at the balcony at the top of the stairs, but first you must put this on." He ordered him. "Yes ma'am" he quickly replied while putting the mask on. "Come we shall show you the way" a maid said while she opened the door outside the room. As deacon walked out the room he noticed that the colors of the carpet and so forth where different from the front room. Instead of the red and gold they were purple and silver. As they made many turns and twists going up and down stairs Deacon had noticed that the colors of the purple and silver had been slowly turning into the red and gold he had seen before. Though he was getting tired he still kept walking. "This house is way too big" he thought to himself. As he entered the front room where he last remember being he saw a multitude of people ranging from tall to short and wide to thin, as if there's a circus in town. "Wow" he said under his breath. The maids pushed and hurried him over to the glass door where the masked man was he saw the people of the ball all staring... none of them where talking, he finally noticed when he first entered the room there was no talking the eyes had been all on him. He decided to hurry and quickly went to the masked man outside. As he saw the masked man he noticed he was wearing different attire than before, instead of the normal suit he was wearing a red butler type coat and red dress pants. He now had a top hat that was black with a red ribbon going around it. "Uh um sir im here, what's with all those people they acted really strange." Deacon asked the masked man. "Well they're here for you, your role here is very important purpose and i supposed i owe you my name now. People here in hell like to call me Beelzebub, how ever you may call me Braxton."what's going to happen to him" he said in a quiet voice."ah don't you worry about that my dear boy, he'll be taken care of for being rude. I do not prefer being called that name anymore however if you were to say it, it would be fine with me." He replied with a nice more calm voice. When Deacon noticed this it seemed like the masked man did not want to upset him at all or make him worry, it seemed to be calming in some ways but confusing in others. "Now since all of you know this you might be wondering what my plan is, however we shall discuss that at a later time, now we feast and dine, make friends, have fun, this is what you are here for no?" he proclaimed to the crowd
