"INTERESTING CHOICE, NO DOUBT, WELL THEN THAT SHALL BE ALL FOR THE WHOEVER-CARES-ABOUT-THE-NUMBER EDITION OF THE GAMES!"
"HAHAHA! What did i say kid, not the worst indeed! Now let's go to your new, heh, home."
"And can i know where that will be?"
"Of course, of course, it whouldn't do to have our new little family clueless, whould it? Where you will be staying next is the first level of hell, the PLAINS."
As it... he says so i find myself in the middle of a plain of barren land stretching infinitely. Perhaps literally.
"Now then my work here is done." He suddenly dissapeared.
"Ugh! That hurt me more that the pit..."
"HAHAHA..."
"Heh, okay. Now what?"
"GYaaaaah!" A goup of a couple things... imps donning some kind of tabard and some weapons approach me and start shrieking. Oh damnit not this again. As i grow wary and crouch the one on the front looks at me and raises a hand for the others to stop.
"Gyaaah? Gyaah? Gyaaayag?" What the... is it trying to talk to me?
Seeing that i only look at him and blink he stares back and approaches slowly.
"Gyaah, gyaahem. Are you the latest victor of the pit?"
Dumbfounded i stare at him. "Yes. Why?"
"We need you to come with us and be officially registered, plus you will need someone to teach you the local tonge, not everyone knows how to speak with their soul."
"Wait. What?"
"Hmm? Don't tell me you thought that everyone was just coincidentally speaking in whichever is your old language?"
