Chapter Two: The Good Ol' Tavern

After dying again I woke up in the battlefield but the corpses were already covered by the snow and I looked around for my dead body and I found it,it was covered by the snow but my mouth was in the open and I was still smiling.

"Hah still smiling" I was happy, I died cool and this was enough for me but I was still here and I saw my sword in one piece on top of a rock.

*Yeah my sword died with me* I wasn't alone after all and I played around with my sword like it was a dog but I knew the light was calling for me and so I looked at my sword one last time.

"You are coming with me pal" I started to go up to the light and when I entered the light I was in a different place.

I was in a tavern that I used to go all the time when I was young, I loved drinking back then now I couldn't even drink because of my age.

A familiar voice called out to me "The regular ?" The voice belonged to the owner of the tavern an old man with a funny moustache, old man always made lame jokes I didn't like.

"Regular please" He brought me a water while smiling "That's your daily regular sir" The whole tavern started to laugh but I noticed only the old man had a face the other ones were figures of people that I remember.

"No, I was talking about air do you have some ?" He started to laugh at my lame joke and the whole tavern was quiet and then he brought me a lorent beer "Lorent beer is not really my favourite"

Another familiar voice "Well that's my favourite, your favourite is a child's drink" This sound came from Aphelia von Korlten, a friend from my past.

"Said the dead queen" I mocked her a little to see how she would react, she took a sip from his beer and turned to me with a sad expression on her face.

"Well what should I say against that" That was my first time seeing her make a sad face in front of me normally she would be a strong and smiling woman that everybody loved and feared.

"Hey did you miss me ?" I laughed a little and took a sip from the lorent beer of course I missed her but I didn't have the balls to say it.

"Maybe" She turned to his drink and finished it "Well I expected that you are still the same" and she turned to me saying "How did you die"

I was surprised at the fact she didn't know how I died and I lied "Well if you get attacked by ten thousand man you would die too" Again I wanted to look cool in front of her and I didn't have the balls to tell the truth.

But she threw his beer at me and she was furious at me "YOU FUCKING STOP LYING WE ARE BOTH FUCKING DEAD AND YOU STILL LIE I FUCKING WORKED MY ASS OFF TO SEE YOU DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS IN HELL ?"

This was the third time she got mad at me like this but this was the worst, we were both dead and none of us had a leash but the fact she went to hell hurt me after that outrage she sat back down and ordered another beer.

"You fucking died because you got cocky aphelia, don't yell at me" I had nothing to say after that but she agreed with me

"This was the third time right ?" Like always she regretted it and had a guilty expression on her face.

"Yes" There was a silence for five minutes and I wanted to talk more with her.

"So how is hell ?" She looked pissed and took a sip from his drink

"Let me tell you about hell and heaven there is only one difference"

Hell and heaven are supposed to be opposites and she told me there was only one difference any human would give the same answer

"What is it"  She laughed and ordered her third drink                        

"Hell makes you lose your will to live and heaven makes you forget your will to live that's about it"

Everything we learned about hell and heaven was explained in one sentence a genius sentence just like aphelia.

"But there is something else too"

*There is something else ?*

"What is it ?"

"The Devil loves love"

*Loves love  what kind of sentence is that ?* 

"You look confused, everything good emotion is banned in hell but the devil says it is okay to love weird right ?"

"Yeah that is weird"

"But thanks to the devil I am here"

She stood up and kissed me I was surprised I knew she had feelings for me but I didn't see this coming, she held my hands after that.

"Do you love me" She said these words just like before and I knew the answer.

"I don't know" I was a coward like always and I just gave out a maybe answer just like before..

"Okay see you another time"

And she disappeared...
