515 Frists- Part 1
.
For a mont Beth felt her heart stop when her eyes fell on Raphael who stood near the iron bars waiting for her. He looked pale, his eyes dull along with his appearance. But none of them caught Beth's attention except for his presence.
She slowly took one step after another to co and stand right in front of him.
"It is good to see you here, Lady Elizabeth," said Raphael with a small smile on his lips. Now that she stood in front of the demon whom she had wanted to et and speak, to apologize, she didn't know what to say.
Beth's lips parted, "It is good to see you, Mr. Sparrow." Her eyes then looked behind him, taking in the appearance of the cell he was in, that had bones in them as if it had many prisoners in the past. A stench of air drifted in the atmosphere.
Beth felt terrible seeing Raphael end up here.
"I am so sorry," she whispered, ready to apologize to him but the man shook his head.
"It wasn't your fault. I did what I thought was right at that ti, and I don't regret it," said Raphael. In the short period of ti he had spent here in Hell, his black shoulder-length hair had turned greasy.
"What is this place?" asked Beth when she heard soone cry out in pain far away from where she stood. The sudden scream alard her because this place had been quiet when she had reached.
While Beth looked to her right, staring at the endless passage that had many more cell rooms, holding the sinners in there, Raphael stared at Beth as if he couldn't believe she was here.
"This is the Tower of Chain, a place where the demons are destroyed," replied Raphael.
"W-what?" Beth's eyes went back to look at the demon, "When you say destroyed, do you an killing the demons forever?"
Raphael looked away from Beth, his eyes moved to the corner of the passage until where he could see, "I hoped to see you one last ti before I left this place."
"Is there no way to get you out, I thought demons were only tortured, and not killed," said Beth in a confused tone.
"Demons who are of no use are removed from existence. Of course, if you speak to the Lord, he might be the only person to help, but he won't co down here for my sake," Raphael smiled.
Lord? Was Raphael speaking about Vladimir?
At the sa ti, Beth noticed the creatures inside the cells had co to the front, near the iron bars as they had slt sothing different in the air. The sll of a living being in the midst of the dead.
"As glad as I am to see you here, I am surprised as to what you are doing here, Lady Elizabeth?" the demon frowned slightly, "I sense sothing odd about you, less of human. Did you enter Hell for your sins?"
"She's here too?" he asked, and Beth nodded her head, and he smiled. "I see," he looked into her green eyes. The colour of her eyes had not changed since the first ti they had t when they were children.
Away from the Tower of Chains, both Madeline, as well as Calhoun, looked for Beth. She could be anywhere, and this was not the place to go by herself, thought Madeline.
"Can you sll her?" asked Madeline to Calhoun, and he shook his head.
"The stench of death is heavy here. It is hard to find her," he sighed. "She must have gone looking for Raphael. Did she say anything before entering Hell?"
"Nothing important, but I think she had decided to see him before we left this place," replied Madeline. Unfortunately, it wasn't just Beth, who was a breathing person from the living world. The creatures who had slt Beth from afar had also slled the strong sll of Calhoun as well as Madeline. The creatures who had fire burning from inside their body started to move closer to where the couple was.
Even though the creatures didn't have a nose, they took a big sniff in the air.
"Cal," Madeline's hand reached for Calhoun's arm, and she pulled his sleeve. "What are these things?"
Calhoun's eyes fell on the creatures of Hell, and he stared at them.
"They are called Frists. The creatures that feed on each other, and are expecting us to be their al." He said it in such a calm tone, that it made Madeline believe there was nothing to worry about them. But the very next second, those creatures who were moving slowly suddenly sped towards them in speed that she had not expected for them to co at her and Calhoun.
Calhoun wings reappeared, and he swung his hand to have so of the creatures thrown far away, while so were persistent like spiders who stuck themselves to the ground. The Frists quickly started to attack them, and Madeline and Calhoun turned busy to fight the creatures.
Madeline didn't bring out her wings, but her scent was enough for the other creatures to sll the angel who had descended to the underground world. She used the wind to deflect the creatures, trying to keep them away from her.
Odin, who had arrived at the scene, his eyes widened, and he quickly stepped forward to shoo away the creatures. Master had told him that the children were exploring Hell, but the re demons were not inford about who Calhoun was.
"Go away from here you Frists! This is no place to play. They are Master's important guests," he waved his hand and ca to stand next to Madeline.
The creatures growled at Odin's words. At the sa ti, Calhoun tore one of the creatures into two halves, and the creature turned to dust.
