Heart of Cards (Seam x Husk)

Prologue:I'm Outta Here

Husk tapped his claws on the counter. The hotel had barely been getting any visitors. Alastor hadn't let him leave yet, and it's the seventeenth time this week Angel Dust tried to get in his pants, and it was only Monday. He realized he couldn't do much while being here. It had started to get repetitive. Gamble, Drink, Gamble, Drink, Gamble, Drink. Husk thought it would get more interesting when he got to the hotel, he was wrong, oh so wrong. He was tired of it. He wanted something different. He decided to ask Alastor if by any chance there was anyway to get out of hell. He knew it was a stupid question, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Husk went up to Alastor. "Alastor," "why yes, Husk, what is it?" "I know this is a stupid question, but, ...Do you know if there is anyway to leave hell.". Alastor laughed at the idiotic question, but remembered something. He smirked down at Husk. "Why in fact I do, my dear friend,". "Wow... that's grea- wait a fuckin minute. If you could already do this, why not leave this shit-hole a long time ago.". Alastor laughed again."It's been too much fun to leave. Watching the sinners of this realm try and climb to a place of power, of status, with nothing but selfishness in their eyes, only to fall flat on their faces. Watching from the top and taunting them is exhilarating.". Husk looked at Alastor with a disgusted look. "So... are you gonna show me or...". Alastor nodded and lead Husk to a back room and locked the door.

Husk looked around. Nothing here seemed to have anything to do with what he needed. "What the hell does this have to do with leaving here?". "Just be patient, friend.". Alastor started to draw a pentagram on the ground, surrounding it with different symbols that Husk had no idea what meant. Alastor suddenly grabbed Husk's arm and drew some blood. He hissed and drew it back. "THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!" Husk yelled. Alastor didn't answer but instead sprinkled the blood around the pentagram. "Husk, please sit down.".

                Husk reluctantly sat down across from Alastor behind the pentagram. He started the ritual by saying some words in Latin. "Haec parva rustica velit excedere ac de armento." Husk questioned whether this was necessary or not, but he focused on the chant. "Stultum terris hunc tantum temporis per agnum." Husk couldn't tell what he was saying and felt like he didn't want to know. " et cum vix meminisse illi fatuum sonat arbitrium suum." Alastor finished the incantation but nothing had happened. "It didn't work." Husk said. Alastor quickly shushed him and waited a bit longer. The pentagram started to glow a light blue and a portal started to open up.

                Husk couldn't believe his eyes. It was a way out and it was right in front of him. Alastor chuckled and spoke up. "Aren't you going in, friend.". Husk stood there and didn't answer. Alastor, with a smile on his face, hastily pushed Husk into the blue hole. "Oh shit" Husk cursed as he fell.  All he could do was fall and wait to land.
