Black-wings

Chapter XVI Hellish Hotel

Alisa's screams of terror shook the very foundation of the building. Me and Markus bolted up the worn down steps to reach the teen.

I kicked open the door nearly knocking it off it's rusted hinges. Alisa was in the far corner by the coach huddled up, shaking and sobbing uncontrollably. I slowly approach her to find out what happened in here, the room looked a mess, the bed sheets were strewn across the floor, one of the lamps was broken and a table was flipped over.

"Master Battle tell me what happened here, why were you screaming?"

The girl looked up at me, her face was covered in tears and her eyes were wide with fear.

"T-there was a-a g-g-ghost, it was try-trying to hurt-hurt me..."

The girl could barley speak over her tears, whatever was here, ghost or not, really shook her up.

"D-Dante I don't wanna be here anymore, I-I wanna go home!"

For a second I pitied the teen, I knew she wasn't ready for a mission with us, and we had no way to get back to New Jersey, with the storm it would be suicide.

"What did you see? You need to tell me or else we might not be able to help."

The girl took a second to calm herself before answering. "I saw a women, she was really skinny and had torn clothes, she had no face Dante! And no hands! They were like scythes! She tried to grab me! Dante I am scared I wanna leave!"

"Master we can't, the storms to bad for any birds to reach us, listen, me and Markus will fix this ok?"

The girl nodded in agreement and stood up with my help.

"Uh sarg, you should come see this..." Markus was standing by the bed he just moved out the way looking down on something marked in the floorboards.

It was a some kind of strange symbol, I couldn't understand the writing but I knew it was satanic, I could tell because it was written in worn out blood and had the same star used in those rituals.

"Master, I know what the problem is, but the ability I need is locked...Master...please give me the strength I need."

The girl looked at me before slowly walking towards. She stared at me with her big emerald eyes, they showed fear, but also trust.

She took my outstretched arm, the metal of our gauntlets cooly resting on each other. Soon a link of red, transparent chains hovered over my arm and shattered into pieces.

"Thank you Master." I look over to my friend and proceed to give him orders. "Stay close to her, the room is going to fall into an abyss while the markings on the floor take me from this world."

The man held Alisa close and gave me a friendly smile.

"Don't take too long now." He said.

I turn away from them and kneel in front of the markings, using the blade in my arm I cut my left hand and let the blood drip onto the star, after that I press my cursed arm into it and the marking began glowing an ominous red.

The room was plunged in darkness, everything disappeared and the three us stood in a pitch black world. The writing on the floor began to move up my arm and then my body, the last thing I saw was Alisa, before being transported to a horrible place.

Time X:XX Place ?????? Year XXXXXX

The area I was now in was a hellish version of the hotel I was in. I was back in my room but the floorboards and walls were covered in rotted skin, and outside of the door I could hear thousands of people screaming.

I stood up and walked out the room, I didn't have my sword so my arm blade would have to suffice. The hallway was similar to the hotel room, but in the skin were rotted and grotesque bodies reaching out at me, victims of the sins committed here.

I walk down the hallway and ignore the souls cries for help. At the end of the hallway there was a door instead of the staircase that was originally here. I open the door to see what appeared as a type of ballroom, the room was the same as the hallway but was decorated with chandeliers made of human bones and remains. In the middle of the room stood a women, she was facing away from me and seemed oblivious to my presence. I take a few steps into the room and make way to the women in rags, however I stop due to the door closing behind me and devoured my the fleshy walls.

"Greetings Lord Nightroad." The women whispered with a raspy voice.

Lord? The hell was with the noble title?

"Who the hell are you huh? And what's with this fucked up place, did you do this?"

The women turned around to reveal her grey skin, she had no face and had long scythes for hands, she must have been who Alisa saw in the room.

"I have no name." The demon said. "Nor did I create this world, Lord Envy made this home. Now, surrender the holy women, and return back to you're rightful place my lord...."

Holy women? who the hell was she talking about? Who the fuck is Envy? Is he one of my siblings? And what's with taking my rightful place?

"Listen here bitch, I don't know what the hell you're going on about, but I am not about to let some demon run around causing havoc."

The women laughed through her non existent lips and reappeared behind me, and flouted in circles around me.

"Give me the holy women, my Lord why must you resist? Why must you take orders from lowly scum? Do not fight you're kind any longer, join us, return to you're throne. Do as you were destined too do."

I began feeling dizzy, my vision hazed, and instead of the room I was in the sky. I was looking down on the earth, and I was shackled. I look to my sides to see people, much taller than me looking down. They were wearing dark hoods and made no sounds or any attempts to break their bonds.

Then we fell, fell down to the earth. I saw the clouds disappear from my view, the golden gates at the top closing shut.

My body was on fire, I felt as if I was coated in the flames of hell, the earth was inching closer and closer.

I shake my head and am once again in the hellish room, I turn around and land a haymaker on the demon sending her flying into the rotting wall behind us.

The being looked at me as I grabbed her and held her high above the ground.

"Start talking bitch!"

The demon gave a hellish laugh before answering me in riddles.

"Our new God will return to the world, he will merge heaven and hell into the earth, the two worlds becoming one! One of the devils of sin will rule by his side, burning this world to a crisp, they will knock down the pillars of heaven! All will know the flames of Hell under their rule!"

The demon began having coughing fits before I sliced her head of. Her body fell to the floor and burst into flames. The screaming around me stopped and the world began to fade. I now had some answers but even more questions.

The attacks must have been lead by a demon known as Lust, who is most likely further north. But who is this 'holy women'?, The demon said that one of my siblings will rule with a new God, but which one will it be? And who is this new God? Whoever they are I'll stop them. No matter what!
