Markus looked upon a plane of fire and cries of pain.The sky ran red with fire and the ground scorched his feet to the bone.Yet he continued his walk.Large demonic humanoids carried whips and were torturing the souls of the damned.The women got it the worse as wave upon wave demons took their turns with them.Marku's hands were shackled in what seeemd like metal bracers.His strength was no longer apparent for they felt like they were made from titanium.A whip tore into his back deep into the muscle.Markus grunted and fell to the ground in pain.His knees began to sizzle from the hot surface.After what seemed like a eternityHe came upon a familiar face.IT was the man who had killed him.Yet instead of a dark grey mask it was black like ebony and his body was a dark black.Orbs of flame ignited threw the eye holes of the mask.
"I have been waiting along time for you Markus."The voice said.
It seemed like a thousand voices of the damned flooded his head but this one stood out.That white tatoos on the Plague creature glowed a dark green which made the other large demons nervous.By the looks of ti he was their leader.
"Who are you?"Markus said inbetween clenched teeth as the burning to his feet just only seemed to increase.
Plague sat down ontop of the skul and bone made throne and peered down at him with those eyes of hell fire.
"The betrayer.....Lucifer."The man chuckled.
Mark us began to shake his head in disbelief he tried to trun around and run but the Plague figure was already behind him.
"Your love...Odesa.Is in trouble and yet you are dead.Do you see where im going with this?"The man said putting a hand on his torn open shoulder.
The mans touch began to burn with intensity as his body caught fire.Markus began to roll and pat his body but it seemed to only increases his pain.His skin began to drip from his white bones.
"The fire is not going away.You wont die you will just be like this forever.But i can send you back to the world of the living.....For a price."Lucifer said with a smile.
The skeleton of Markus looked up at him.He had read many books on the devil.And his deals always ended up with him turning it inside out.But to save Odesa and his friends would be worth it.
"I already on your soul.It looks like god doesn't want you in his keep.So why should i let you leave here?"
His words were true.He owned his soul and he had nothing in return,but he had to try.
"One hundred souls."Markus whimpered still trying to cope with the fire that enshrouded him,
The devil bursted out in laughter clapping his hands together,His body changed from Plague to a large black python.The snaked hissed and struck at the burnt flesh of Markus.The flames extinguished and his skin healed back rapidly but the bite mark spread over his body.His veins were as black as nights.This gave his body a more demonic aspect to it.Instead of his once grey eyes they where pitch black.
"We have a deal."The snaked hissed which sounded more like another laugh.
Markus later awoke in his brothers arms.He could still feel the hot heat of hell though he was no longer there.Lucas looked down at his brother in surprise and horror.On instinct he dropped Markus.His eyes had no feelings behind it and black lines circled all around his body.
"Odesa is in trouble!"He snapped.
Even his voice was diffrent it carried a dark aspect to it.Markus took off running hoping it wasn't to late to save her.
