Hell
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!" Screamed the residents of hell from the tenth ring, those foolish enough too waste their lives and lived without purpose or indulge themselves in sinful acts all face Etanma's fury.
Though not every poor bastard that found himself at the base of her throne would be eternally punish. For she took a liking towards a few dammed souls, those who hands were so drench in blood that they would make rivers run red, those that committed such dreadful act In attempts for peace. These few she titled as her Hell Knights, Imbuedening them with her powers she began to from an order of Knights souly loyal to her.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!" *Splash*
"the nerve of some of you too scream out like children." said one of the Hell Knights.
Claded in dark armor as he continued repeatedly dunking the head of a murder beneath the nival river that runs through all twelve rings.
"It sickens me that these bastards even think they have the right too beg for mercy." Another armor Knight stated while sitting on a rock heating a metal pike by a blue flame,
"Ey..EY!...EEEYY!!!... WOULD YOU STOP?.." Shout another Knight. "You're contaminating our sacred river with that bastard." He stated while chewing on a what seemed to be another hellmate's arm.
"Please...pleeee....pleasssss" ...stop begged the tortured man.
".....you should've stopped when they asked as well." The Hell Knight responded as he continued.
"He's a loud one ain't he?" Another Knight stated as he paused from nailing another hellmate onto a table.
Splash splash splash.... "well damn. Seems not even our sacred river can clean him." He stated.
"This piece of shit killed kids...... and got off on it, he would trick them into playing by the river and then he'll drown them." The Hell Knights explain as his rage became more intense.
"Well if the 'Nival River' can't clean him......maybe our flame could." One of the Knights suggested with a smile as he waved around the heated spike.
"Gimme that heated spike." He asked the other Knight as his fury had peaked from just talking about the hellmate's actions.
"This is for those kids you stick bastard." He exclaim as he then drove the spike up the hellmate's ass.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" he cried.
"Damn... well back too nailing this poor fool." said the other.
Crown Chamber, The highest point of Etanma's domain. It has twelve layers through out it, with the entrance on it's twelveth floor.....the "Core" also know as Etanma's heart is the very life of her domain and where majority of her power is contain, locked away on the Second ring.
All rings are lit by a soft blue flame that is cold to the touch, these flames engulf all that bear the crest of Etanma.
Within the sixth ring 'touch of heaven' is her castle which is surrounded by a massive town.
The base of the castle sits on a lake which is lit by the same very blue flames, this very same lake run through her entire castle and is known by all as the 'Nival Rriver'.
Etanma's castle ascend upwards to the ceiling of the fifth ring, in the middle it reaches it narrowest point and the the castle continue upward spreading out again to its much wider size, making the complete castle have something of an hour glass look form base to top.
The throne room of etanma resides on the bottom floor of her castle where the river continuously flows through, circling her throne as it makes its way through.
Her throne sits atop a large glass like sculpture that is dark purple and blue, place in a position for her to look down upon all who comes before her, with a massively long staircase. Adorn with bordering bones of the undead while the throne is self made from the Skull of an ancient dragon.
The entire throne room is decorated with blue flames and ice sculptures.
Twelfth ring
Approaching from the space outside of Etanma's domain came a boat carrying those who lives had ended.
"We're soon there." The the driver of the boat stated, wearing a black hood while using a scythe as the boat's oar. Upon approaching the gate he then suddenly made a slight jester which caused the massive gates of hell too open.
Upon entry the passenger were stun by the army of Hell Knights which roamed the twelfth ring,
"Styx!" Called out from the rivers edge. A Knight claded in darkblue armor wielding a massive bloodred scythe, mounted upon a large snowy white wolf.
The passengers all gazed upon the pair in awe. "General Sef...I see you're well as always." Sytx greeted as he made his way in.
Gazing intently at the departed souls that were still all star struck by Sef's presence, he then smirked as he point his scythe torwards the boat.
"The unfortunate.." Sytx said.
Swiftly bursting form the river appeared Knights of the twelfth ring, swiftly grabbing a few dammed from the boat, dragging them into nearby service rooms.
The sudden act cause the other too panic some even attempting too flee. However, with a swift motion of his scythe Sytx placed a new terror into there hearts.
"No one enters, leaves or touches my vessel without my say so." He said in a cold dark tone. Instantly the passenger calmed themselves as Sytx traveled towards the eleventh ring.
"Shit...he's still scary." Sef thought too himself as he petted his wolf.
Eleventh ring.
"Is this some sort of armory?" Asked one of the dead. He along with the remaining passengers gazed upon the hell Knights working making weapon, clothing and armor but what was truly terrifying were the countless bodies of dammed souls. That were beening used as martial.
Several of the passengers fainted. "I may have forgotten to inform you all....but you are now property of hell and as property you will be used however the Hell Generals please." Sytx explained as they entered into the tenth ring by traveling up the spiraling Nival River.
"GET EM...GRAB THOSE BASTARDS!!!" roared out the general of the Tenth.
Booosh!!! As the boat was suddenly engulfed by flaming warriors.
Deep sigh..."Denna." Sytx spoke, with a glowing greyish beam emitting from his hood. While his scythe suddenly became engulf with black flames.

"Oops..sorry Sytx. I just got really excited for the new meat." Denna apologize with a massive grin.
Sytx nodded as he then allowed her men too continue. Afterwards sytx carried those remaining toward the sixth, where they would meet Etanma.
"Be glad that you've made it this far, for those that had been taken are going too live in torment for eternity." Sytx said as he enter into a massive blue flame.
Sixth ring: touch of heaven, at the base of Etanma's castle.
"Sytx?..SYTX!!.. finally someone else too talk too." Etanma joyously said while staring sourly at Donte,
"My goddess. I've brought them." He said as he showed her a few passengers who had were given a special pass from Seph.
"I see. So these are whom seph granted a second chance. Hmmmm alright then, I welcome you too your new life here in the sixth ring. A somewhat afterlife for those that were robbed in their pervious life." Etanma said as she the branded her crest upon them, marking them as untouchables for the Hell Knights. With his job done Sytx disembarked again,
Later that day
"...ahhhhh...I'm bored." Said Etanma, laying upon the floor infront of her throne. Beside her laid a massive wolf, he had three heads each fitted with a pair of horns. His fur was white, expect for the middle head who's fur was dark black. Apart from Zecatate, this beast was the second most beloved being in Etanma's life, since he was a gift from Zecatate's.
"I wonder what Zecatate is doing?" Etanma thought while snuggling under titan the wolf's name.
"I miss zeccy." She pouted rolling about on the floor.
Watching this shameful behavior was one of her most trusted Knights. "DONTE!!...I'm so bored", said Etanma continuing too roll about.
"DONTE!! ENTERTAIN ME!!" Shouted Etanma,
Donte let out a loud sigh, "...I beg for death.." he mubble to himself while glancing at his goddess, then he went back to focusing on his daily tasks,
Her eyes lit up briefly as she glared menacingly towards him. "The fuk?. Too whom are you sighing at?" She quickly responded.
"You beach"...he mumble again. Ignoring her further.
Instantly after Etanma began hurdling random objects at him. However, donte effortlessly avoided them,
"Call Nyxa and tell her too come go to the bar with me." She told him,
Deeply signing too then talk a long pause, "be still my heart..don't let this evil consume you." He softly recited to himself. To then ignore her again and continue his daily tasks.
"DONTE!!!"
"My queen could you please stop pouting?" He asking in a respectful demanding way. "I'M stressed enough as it is because you decided to dump you workload on me and nyxa today, speaking of which I cant call her because she is guiding the lost souls that came in today, which is your job”, Donte said, Glaring at her as he stood to go change a book.
He was a massive elven warrior with a muscular build which allowed him too tower over most. He kept himself busy with work since his goddess didn't, causing his locks to turn a goldish white.
“ughh…. Fine so nyxa is busy what about Denna or Seph”, etanma asked,
“denna is busy going throughout each of the twelve floors to make sure the punishments are carried out as intended, since me or nyxa cant attend to our floors today, as for seph he was sent to make sure that the reapers on the mortal plane are carring out the quota of deaths that need to be met for the day”, Donte informed her again for the fifth time.
".....soooo, just you and him huh? .....well both of yah are boring anyway." Etanma stated while cuddling under Titan.
"You're speech is reverting my queen." Donte pointed out.
THUDOOM!! The entire floor violently shook, then stopped, then shook once more,
"What the??" Etanma thought as she felt the presence of an unwelcoming guest.
Grrrrrrrrrrr...growled titan as he recognized the sent a specific divine energy.
"Titan is already angered...so it's him again, he's been coming here quiet often." Donte thought to himself. Quickly packing up his books and other documents he had.
"Is he mad?.... Entering my realm without an invitation." She said out loud too herself.
Quickly Etanma stood, making her way across to her throne. Donte go and secure them She order,
Though he was confused by the invitation comment. Donte swiftly dawn his jet-black armor fully covering his body with the large purple sigil of etanma on his chest, as the helmet closed over his face only leaving holes for his eyes as a purple glow came out of them.
Looking intently at Donte as he made his way too the upper Rings. Etanma voice her opinions, "I hate that armor."
"YOU CHOSE THIS!!" Donte snap as he took off towards the upper Rings.
Splash!! Suddenly emerging from the Nival Rriver within the throne room appeared one of the five Hell Knights Generals.
Sef the Reaper of Hell, rider of Grimmy another massive wolf kin too Nival the river.
"Is it him?."
"Yes Queen. He's here with his Angels and they're advancing towards the gate, among them are three Ark, two Ascended and one Apostle with several warrior angels." He informed,
"Damn......everytime." she mumbles rubbing her head. "You know what too do Sef." Etanma stated as she slough back onto he throne, swiftly after Sef along with Grimmy plunged back into the river heading for the gate.
Soon after their departure a crowd of Hell Berserkers emerged from the blue flames that lit her throne room. All ready and awaiting orders too engage. They filled the entire throne room with their numbers, with each Berserker fully engulf in Hellflames they kneeled before Etanma.
"Great goddess. Our Magnificent and Glorious Queen sent us here as your shields." The head Berserker stated as he kneel before Etanma.
".....Denna. she's probably already making her way down towards the Gate." Etanma pondered.
"She already gone too engage the enemy?" Etanma blatantly asked.
"Ugh...she was already gone by the time we got ready...she left a note telling us too come here. "He said feeling shameful of his queen's behavior.
"So you're the excuse?"
"Yup."
"..Well.. she does hate those of the Holy order..." Etanma stated.
Denna wasn't her brightest Knight General but her loyalty was without question, she was once a power Demon warrior. Leading countless Demons clansmen into battle against many factions, yet after many years of fighting with those that wanted nothing more than too destruction of her kin. Denna life was ended by those of the Holy order, but she was reborn by Etanma as The Cursed Berserker.
"Denna sure sent alot. Is this her way of getting out of reporting back?...that dunce." Said a voice from behind one of the lit flames,
"Nxya?... NXYA!!!" screamed out Etanma as she rushed over towards her, tackling her too the ground with a hug.
Joining in on the hugging was Titan who came and sat upon the two,
"OFF!!" Roared Nxay as she threw the two off her into several of the Berserkers. Instantly Nxay began breathing rapidly holding her chest. Panic and terror covered her face, Quickly Etanma came again this time she had Titan resistant with the help of the Berserkers.
"There there...." she said softly resting Nxay head against her breast.
"Damn I forgot." Etanma stated recalling that Nxay had been traumatized by Thaine and Titan who both nearly suffocating her from falling too sleep on her.(Thaine's doing)
Few minutes later.
"Queen.He's sent the entire twelfth ring into chaos and is making his way up now." Nxay informed Etanma.
"We should head for the Crown chamber, there you'll be able too gather your strength faster." Nxay implied.
"Mmmmm...and leave the City of hell too face him? No I won't leave my castle." Etanma stated as she sat down on her throne.
"Sef won't be able too stop him but he will be enough for his Angels." Etanma added,
"Didn't you hear? He has two Ascended and an Apostle. Sef alone could manage against two Ascended but an Apostle is far too much." Nxay added,
"Well Denna is down there, plus both the twelfth and eleventh rings are heavily enforced by my army." Etanma responded,
"......our army is mostly likely dealing with those with the Warrior angels. Even with Denna down there she'll probably get hold up against the Ark Angels." Nxya informed.
Suddenly a messenger appeared, covered in battle scars.
"Queen. Sef along with our army is up against the Apostle on the twelfth ring.....th...ttt...The eleventh has been sent into chaos with the Reaper Core clashing against the Warrior Angels." The messenger blurted out.
"Where is Denna in all of this?" Asked Etanma,
"She's.......shh....stru....struggling against the Three Ark Angels accompanied by the Hell Knights....She's been pushed back too the ninth ring." The messenger said feeling worrisome for Denna, Suddenly he succumb to his injuries dropping before Etanma.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Roared out Raxus rallying his Berserkers. "NO ONE MESSES WITH OUR QUEEN!!" Roared the Berserkers as they all instantly departed heading for the Ninth ring.
"......weren't they suppose too protect you?" Asked Nxya.
"You heard em. No one messes with their queen..clearly I'm not important." Etanma stated with a slight chuckle.
"Titan, Nxya go deal with those two Ascended. I'll take care of him myself." Etanma spoke with an unwavering tone.
Nxay smirked, "yes my queen." Quickly after the room was once again engulf with warriors, this time they were Nxay Black Order Knights the second most feared battalion within Hell.
Speedily they headed towards the seventh ring planning to intercept the remaining two Ascended Angels.
Seventh ring. Ring of Sorrow
"So Etanma has boosted her armies and her Knights, they weren't ever this strong last time. Not even cable of going against one of my Ascended."
The figure remarked as he levitated across a vast body of water, in it you could see the bodies of those conflicted with sorrow as steam rosed form the water which was boiling the hellmate's.
"Damn that looks painful.."
"Don't you get tired of this Fractr??" Nxya asked as she and her Knights emerged form the surrounding blue flames.
He smiles. "I like this new armor you wear...it hides that annoying face of yours." He mocks as he gazed deeply towards her.
"mmmmm so I was right. The Knight Generals of hell have gotten stronger, you especially." Fractr stated.
"It's funny. You wasn't even strong enough to handle one of my Ark Angels yet here you are planning too go against two of my Ascended." He scoffed,
"GRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHH!!!!...ENOUGH TALKING!...COCKY SHIT!.....SMALL GOD!!"
Shouted out all three of Titan's heads as he approached from behind the Black Order Knights,
"Ooooouuu.....Titan...now there's a threat." Fractr said, Grinning brightly while rubbing his hands together.
"Gggggrrrrrrrr.....Your blood will run cold from the tips of our fangs. The middle head announced as he began too race towards Fractr.
Grinning with excitement Fractr ordered both his Ascended Angels towards them.
"At her current level she should manage...plus she has that damn wolf and her Knights." Eractr thought has he blitz passed both Nxya and Titan. Making his way on too the sixth ring.
Sixth ring, inside Etanma castle in her throne room.
Footsteps approached, "goddess he's making his way up the staircase." Reported the throne guard, two large warriors tasked with protecting the throne.
Both well trained in the divine arts and are capable of going toe too toe against the Generals.
Walking up the massive staircase approached a Fractr glowing in a golden aura, he wore gold and black suit along with a white and skyblue trench coat. His skin was a smooth brown with black lines running along his body in a pattern. He kept his hair short and he had a rather muscular though lean build. Is eye shine bright gold. He was the embodiment of Justice and Righteousness, each step he took shot of a shockwave of Divine energy.
Glancing briefly at both of the throne guards Eractr knod, effortlessly sending both guards into a deep slumber.
Inside the throne room
"Such a show off." Etanma stated as Eractr walked in with both hands in his pocket..in all his Righteousness. His presence along cause Etanma's domain to shake. "Are you done?" Etanma asked in an annoyed tone.
He smirked. "I brought one more." Fractr said with a smile as a sudden beam of light shout down before him. Emerging from it came out another Apostle, outfitted in golden robs and carrying a Lance in one arm and wielding a holy staff in the other.
Etanma smiled back. Donte she called out in a soft tone.
"My queen" He answered as he appeared from behind her clad in his armor with his divine energy pour out. Circling above him were five orbs. "Welcome Facter."
Bosssssshhhh...the room shook. "It's Fractr you shit."
"Long time no see Apostle." Donte side.
I hate this shitty place. So much so I came here just too inform you of how much I hate this place. I dreamt of burning your goddess and all residents of hell with my fury. Damn this place is the toilet of all creation."
"......sigh.....seem you're still the same." Donte said with a smirk.
