Y/n's POV

"Ah!" I shout as I get shot out of the portal and onto the ground.
I wince and close my eyes tightly.
I'm pretty sure that I scraped my knee.

Opening my eyes, I push myself off the ground.
"Woah." I stare in awe at the inferno around me.
I'm in what looks like a city.
Large buildings stand tall.
To my right I see what looks like a suburban neighborhood.
This place looks awesome and terrifying at the exact same time.
Besides all of that, it's fairly empty.

Probably because all the Demons are in the land that once belonged to the Humans.

I reach back into my backpack and pull out the book.
I quickly flip to the page about Hell and Heaven sent blades.
It doesn't take long for me to read the short page.

Blades forged in Hell aren't as hard to get as Heaven sent blades.
If you want one of these you can usually get them from any weapons store in the area.
If that isn't an option then you'll have to make one yourself.
How you do that is you must first have a regular sword or knife from Hell.
Next you must go to the highest point of Hell to get a Hell rock.
These are found everywhere, but the strongest ones are found near the gate.
After you get the stone you must go to the lowest point of Hell and drop both into a pit of black lava.
It'll only take a few minutes for the knife or sword to pop back up.
Then you'll have your Hell Blade.
Be careful with it.
These can kill other Demons and damage Angels beyond recognition.

I nod to myself as I close the book and put it away.
"The highest point....gates..." I begin to ponder for a few moments.
"They said something about cutting open the gates, but where are the gates?"
I look all around me and suddenly see someone.
My eyes widen.
"Hello?" I call out.
They keep walking.
"Wait!" I run towards them.
They're a female Demon with dirty blonde hair.
"Excuse me Miss-" I put my hand on the woman's shoulder and she jumps.
The woman turns around really fast, grabbing my hand.
Her unique eyes pierce through me; fear in them.
Her eyes are light brown with specks of dark brown and dark green in them.
As those eyes meet mine, she let's go of me.
"You-" She cuts herself off as she bites her lip. "You startled me." She laughs.
"I'm so sorry." I apologize. "I was just wondering where the gates are."
She gives me a confused look.
"Take a left up here and then the first right. You'll see a staircase. Go up it." She tells me with a smile.
"Thank you so much Miss.." I trail off.
"Tiffany." She says.
"Tiffany." I repeat and begin to follow her directions.
"No problem Y/n!" She shouts.

The staircase was way closer than I had thought it would be.
The only thing that sucks about them is that they're so damn long.
I've been walking for around five minutes and still haven't gotten to the top.
After a bit more walking I finally see it; the gates.
I smile as my pace quickens.
I dash up the rest of the stairs.
There at the top is a large gate.
I take hold of the metal and look through.
On the other side everything looks weird.
Buildings and houses are almost invisible because of both them and the sky being white.
Everything there is white.
The ground too.
I see people walking around, but they don't look Human.
Squinting, my eyes widen.
"Angels."
One looks my way and I quickly duck down.
In a few seconds I stand back up.
"Is that Heaven?"
Looking up higher on the gate I see a sign.
It reads, Purgatory.
I have no idea what that means.
"Stop goofing off!" I whisper yell at myself. "Get the rocks and let's go!"
I turn to the wall and pry off as many rocks as possible before starting my way down the stairs.

When I get to the bottom I begin to wander around.
I figure that if I keep walking around that I'll find the deepest part of Hell eventually.
How wrong was I.
I ended up getting lost because I've obviously never been to Hell before.
"That building looks....familiar."
I walk past the half demolished building.
I continue to follow my gut feeling until I see a lone house.
It looks exactly like all the rest except for three little pairs of bat wings painted on a piece of wood hanging on the door.
As I get I closer I see there's a fourth.
This pair has one bat wing and one angel wing.
I furrow my eyebrows.
"The half Demon half Angel." I whisper as I step up to the door.
I let my fingers graze over the bat and bird wings.
Before I even know it, I've begun to knock on the door.
"What do yo-"
The door swings open and the persons voice stops.
"How did you get here?" The man asks.
He has black hair and emerald green eyes.
"I-uh walked here?" I question.
He looks at me confused.
"Sorry to bother you Sir, but do you know how to get to the deepest part of Hell?" I ask.
The man looks me up and down.
"Lady of the Light. Fitting." He mumbles to himself.
"Nice look with the black nails." He says.
"Thanks..."
The man sighs.
"Give me your hand." He says.
He holds out his own hand, palm up.
I hesitantly put my hand over his.
He places his other hand over mine and closes his eyes.
My hand warms up and then he let's go.
"There you go." The man then slams his door shut.
I jump back and nearly fall on the ground.
Looking at the back not my hand, I see a map.

"Deepest depths of Hell, here I come."
