Healing from darkness

A journey has bumps

Rackgul runs up and pulls the 3 into a big hug, you’re all ok thank Zero. The demon squeezes so hard it basically cuts off circulation. S-stop Mr. Demon can’t breathe Lillith says losing consciousness. Rackgul immediately lets go, sorry the demon says. The slime goes to the solider: Abel, inspecting the knocked out body. Where’s this guy’s bullets the slime asks. The skeleton holds up one of Abel’s bullets, I just want to “research” these bullets says the skeleton. Research, what research do you plan on researching, exactly the slime asks. These bullets.. can access your memories, memories you didn’t even know you had the skeleton says in excitement. How could you even think about using those.. those.. those things, you’ve seen what they can do Lillith says stuttering out. Even if it was scary or bad you go to admit you learned and remember things about yourself the skeleton says to Lillith making her think.

They all go back to base camp and tie Abel to a tree. They wait until he wakes up knowing since he’s from hell, Abel probably has a high pain tolerance being from hell. Hey, wait where’s all the food the slime says. Yeah, sorry me and Lilith dropped what we gathered and hunted because Abel here was trying to kill us Rackgul says. Well that’s ok, just get some later because you, Lillith and the changeling the slime says. Rackgul, why did you thank someone named zero the skeleton asks. He was a family friend, he was the only decent being in all of hell Rackgul states. The skeleton accepts this answer as he goes to there newly built hut.

The skeleton holds one of the soul bullets, seeing how it felt in his palms as he rolls it around. The bullet is brought to the skeleton’s head as he pushes it in his skull, he manages to will himself to stand while having visions. His spirit/mental state is put into an unknown vestige as the person enters the bar. The figure sits at a stool, asking for a shot of vodka. She asks for ID but barely skims it when given the identification and gives it back quickly. Aren’t you a little young to be drinking the lady asks rhetorically. I’m legal ain’t I, I have money isn’t that all someone like you cares about the person say as he’s looking at the drinks. Listen, you little shi-shi-shi. The woman voice starts and stops like a broken record. The vestige puts his head in his hands then takes a long drink. As the world slowly turns into static, the skeleton stops seeing the vision and now has a very bad headache.

Rackgul goes up a small mountain sneakily followed by Lillith. The demon sits on a log, hugging himself then quietly reassuring himself. Rackgul gets up from the log and slices it through in glee with his axe. f**k, I Gotta do better that was pathetic Rackgul say out loud to Lillith’s dismay. Lillith comes out of hiding surprising the demon, Hey Mr. Demon. Rackgul looks around nervously and slashes a tree in embarrassment, what do you want Rackgul asks hating the concept of having intense emotions. I .. just wanted.. to help reassure you, there is.. no reason to be scared of having emotions. No reason to, you don’t understand Rackgul states. It’s different for a little girl like you, I’m so to be some big bad demon and I’m failing Rackgul says. No your not, there’s nothing to be ashamed of when having emotions and even if your break down crying only really horrible people would make fun of someone for doing that Lillith states moving Rackgul. You know you’re really beyond your years Lillith and making a line of berries for me to find you before was very impressive Rackgul compliments Lillith. Just then the slime yells that Abel is finally awake.

All the monsters gather around Abel. You’re all gonna rot in hell Abel says. Ha, I already beat you to it Rackgul says. Let’s focus, does this go deeper involving the other hell ring the slime asks. Why would answers any of your questions, there’s nothing you can do that would make me answer Abel says smugly. The skeleton walks up to Abel and crouches down, I bet there’s things even you don’t even want to remember. Abel begins struggling to no avail, fine all talk. As Abel begins to talk his head explodes like a pumpkin thrown on the floor.
