Hell's Earth Part 1: Hell Come

Chapter Eight: Hell Scorned and Furious

          Cities across the globe were either in a blaze or were left smoldering in ash and rubble. Death had been working around the clock while Satan had been busy establishing his dominance. Draonai who had since freed herself from her master's leash abandoned the city. She would not or could not live in a society she had a personal hand in creating. Men and women danced naked in the street and breaking the Ten Commandments laid down in Biblical times were now an everyday norm. When the civil wars began erupting between gangs, drug cartels, terrorists, and other organized crime syndicates, it was only a matter of time before they wiped themselves out. Everyone who was left either tried to start a rebellion that was almost instantly obliterated or were only out for themselves. Various diseases ran rampant. Thanks to Satan, once curable diseases had now mutated into strands that killed off the people who managed to escape the conflicts only to succumb to bacterial infections and a plethora of viruses. Other's who were indulging in their sexual desires, ended up with multiple STDs. Satan had never intended for the human population to use the nukes as they were destroying themselves with other more conventional means. As conquests' were waged on a scale the world had never seen before, famine had also taken hold on a global scale. Food had become so scarce that even the war mongers were having trouble maintaining dominance. Satan knew the minor kingdoms would fall leaving the followers alone and misguided. Cannibalism only added to the death toll. The churches had fallen. Satan turned the first floor of his hotel into the one and an only temple dedicated to his loyalists. Las Vegas was now the epicenter of sin and corruption. Underage smoking and drinking had become a cultural norm not only in his city but across the globe. Makeshift campsites started popping up all over. Kids ran the streets unsupervised since the schools were shut down on a grand scale and watching them digging in dumpsters broke Draonai's heart.

          She watched at a distance over the city in shame and disgust. The archaeological find that was supposed to put an end to the debate of rather or not God is real had now turned the world into a self-devouring beast that continued to swallow itself into a deep dark abyss and she was powerless to stop it. She sat on the nearby mountain with her legs in her chest. Her thoughts were broken as screams rung out of the city. She got as close as she could without bringing unneeded attention to herself. Soon the screams almost instantly fell silent. She reached an alley that was a few blocks away from the sex store she had visited two weeks before and a look of horror washed over her face as the shop owners she met had been raped and murdered. Her thoughts swirled around the ones she loved. Vincent as far as she knew was dead from his injuries. Aiyoku who had shown her that not every Satan worshiper was evil and in fact even provided a night of alcohol-induced passion which she was very grateful for and wanted to experience again now only had the memories to keep her lover in her heart and hell bound soul. The ring she wore before she lost consciousness was lost and it would likely remain that way. The girls from the sex store who were so eager to be her friend were nothing more than corpses being ravaged by the murders'. Her helplessness of the current situation only intensified the feelings of regret, sorrow, hopelessness, and depression. She was now alone in a literal Hell on Earth. Her tears soaked the pavement. Through her tear soaked eyes, she continued to watch as the harpies and other demonic creatures continued their onslaught and regular patrols above, on and even below the sin-infested city. The cities that defied Satan's laws, assisted in the efforts of those who tried to fight back or even just rumored to be part of the anti-Satanic movement were now nothing more than smoldering beds of twisted metal, burnt mangled flesh and demolished roads and highways.

          Most of the other cities that conformed to Satan and his laws built giant gold statues in honor of their new ruler that stood taller than any building. They also performed sacrifices in honor of their new world leader. These people were rewarded with either being given the honor of becoming a demonic hybrid or were simply allowed to wipe themselves out with the sacrificial ceremonies performed on a day to day basis. The seven deadly sins of lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, envy, pride and sloth added to the consumption of humanity; Satan laughed maniacally from atop of his new throne. He saw his work every day on his private news broadcast. Of course, it was run by both Succubae and human women so it only showed what he needed and his faithful followers wanted. He knew he had his slaves under control and there was nothing that could change that. He also sent demons to demolish the hospitals, walk-in clinics, and health departments. All the equipment that were in the buildings had been moved Satan's Medical Center where every known Vaccine had also been stored in the baggage center under the terminal. He held the room under heavy guard. The first line of defense was known as the Varg which were combinations of wolf demons, men or women, and condors. Satan continued making his genetic minions as a new police force. The Imps went from front line infantry to spies. They reported directly to Satan himself on what remained of humanity ensuring that there weren't any suggestions of rebellion. They were also sent out to initiate sins to make sure the souls that remained would be his for eternity. From sex to murder and everything in-between. The harpies circled the skies just above the rooftops looking for orphaned children. The harpies were thin but tall and had bikini body torsos. Their skin looked as though they were sun burnt. Their feathers covered their arms, legs and neck. The fiery feathers danced around them as they left light grey smoke trails in the sky. Each harpy had a pair of large succulent breasts and firm nipples that looked as though they were ready to erupt with milk. Their soft tender lips in-between their luscious thighs looked as though they had never before been touched by Human or demon hands. Their heads were human like. Their mouths were filled with serrated teeth that were as black as onyx. Their nose and ears were bat like. Their fingers had black claws that extended six inches in length. Their wings stretched from their shoulder blades down to their waist. Their eyes were pitch-black and their hair was made of crimson flames that danced over their head and down their backs. Their hot fiery tails resembled a peacock's that extended past their feet. Their tongues were three pronged and could be controlled individually or in unison. They spoke with a deep demonic tone with a feminine pitch. Their deeds were considered to be malicious but they had no sense of dignity for themselves which made them highly admired by men and women alike. When they weren't busy ferrying kids to be turned into imps to track pockets of humans, they were indulging themselves in the most basic of human activities. Sex and drinking. Although their demonic bodies still retained the carnal desires of humans, they were immune to any side effects ranging from drunken stupors to sexually transmitted diseases. Adding to the army that Satan built were half snake half woman demons known as Nagas. Above the waist was a beautiful yet very deadly woman. The mouths of these voluptuous women contained only two fangs that secreted a poison that was used to paralyze the victim. Below the waist was a giant snake tail that was used to carry the immobile victims to Dracuel who was continuing Satan's work with demonic gene splicing. They did not have any means of satisfying their lustful desires and so were trapped in hell inside their own bodies. The Hell Hounds were the most ferocious out of the smaller beasts that made up the demonic army. They were broad shouldered and had long serrated teeth that curved around their lips. Their eyes were replaced with small flames dancing in their eye sockets. Their bodies had black brimstone patches with curling smoke rising from their lava like fur. The tails were like whips with jagged razors on the tips and razor sharp sword-like blades running the length down each side of the tail. The claws that protruded from their massive paws looked as though they were black steel daggers with serrated edges. The collars were made from the souls of those who tortured animals and would possess the victims tormenting them from the inside as the beasts ravaged their prey devouring flesh, bone, blood and finally soul. The hounds were used to protect the entrances of the hotel. Satan was already working on the next phase of his domination.
