Upon arrival to the demon kingdom, many demons attack Zarak and Ky without hesitation, both of them do the same. For hours on end the two fought against the demon guards and citizens that fought. None defeated either of the two, but they were seperated. Ky continued to fight outside the gates of the kingdom while Zarak, forced into the kingdom itself, stormed the castle and killed everyone who stood in his way. Ky had finally killed off all the demons that tried to kill him and Zarak. He was out of breath and thought he would collapse at any moment. Before he would let that happen, he went into the castle and looked for Zarak. It looked worse inside the kingdom and even worse inside the castle than outside the kingdom where Ky fought. The wounds weren't as if they were stabbed, these people were literally mutilated. He could still hear the sounds of fighting above him, and rushed to the top floor. He was scared to open the double doors in front of him, because all he could hear behind them now were lips smacking and blood splattering. Opening the doors to the throne room Ky's fear that Zarak was being eaten were not realized. In fact, it was just the opposite. Zarak was eating the ex-king of demons!
Ky: "W-W-Wha t-t-the...!?"
Zarak: "...LEavE mE..."
Ky: "...Z-Zarak..."
Zarak: "leAVE nOW, oR i'Ll EaT yOU TOO!!!"
Jared: ".............................................."
Virgil: "...um, Jared. What are we waiting for?..."
Jared: "An angel named Casella is guiding me, she always has something upon entering another terrace, but...hey Casella! Where are you!? Are you not talking to us 'cause I said blessed are crap was annoying me!?" Oh man...I didn't think she'd leave us if I said and thought those things.
Virgil: "What are you talking about???"
Jared: "...nothing, don't worry about it. Anyway, all I see, as usual, is dark emptiness. Any idea what we're supposed to do here?"
Virgil: "...I'll say it again. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???"
Jared: "Wha?..."
Virgil: "I see gold! Gold relics and jewelry, and other treasures everywhere!" Virgil rushed off to the treasure he claimed was in front of us. I have to be honest, I was completely perplexed.
Jared: "...I...don't see that anywhere man."
???????: "Because the only thing your soul desired was darkness. Your greed and his are of different forms."
Jared: "What the...!? Who's there!?"
???????: "Relax. I, like you two, am a man wandering these planes for peace of mind and cleansing of my soul."
Statius: "I am Papinius Statius. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
Jared: "Papinius Statius...what, the poet???"
Statius: "Um...sure, let's go with that."
Jared: "?????"
Statius: "Anyway, you should both know that embracing yourselves with what you desire will only lead to sadness."
Jared: "Why's that?...What the..." Slowly, but steadily, the darkness around me was clearing itself away. The other floors I was on didn't look the way they did in my eyes, that was just the way I seen them, the darkness within me shrouding my eyes and heart...then I realized I wasn't alone when I heard Virgil screaming and crying.
Virgil: "NO!!! MY GOLD! MY TREASURE!!!!!" Virgil's hands kept motioning as if he was cuping water that wasn't there. In his eyes though, the treasure that was all around him was melting before his eyes. He kept trying to put them back together, but to no avail. I walked over to him...
Virgil: "No...my beautiful treasure-OWWW!!!" ...and decked him right in the face.
Virgil: "WHAT'D YOU DO THAT FOR!?!?!?"
Jared: "There is no treasure! This is another trial, turn away from earthly possessions. You don't even need them anymore! YOUR DEAD!!!"
Virgil: "Well aren't you too!?"
Jared: "!!!...um...no. I do admit, I'm here to cleanse myself as well, but I'm not dead yet..."
Statius: "...OHHHH! I see...yes, I heard about you...I was wondering when you'd show up!"
Jared: "What do you mean?"
Statius: "Your the one infused with 'his' power aren't you?"
Jared: "...loose lips sink ships Frenum. Look, Statius, the LAST thing you should concern youself with is that matter. If you pursue it farther, I can't guarantee your saftey."
Statius: "I dare say sir, are you threatening me? Here? In Purgatory?"
Jared: "No, but 'he' wouldn't threaten you. He'd just kill you."
Statius: "...good point. Sorry for misinterpreting good sir."
Jared: "Huh? Oh...don't worry about it."
Virgil: "Um...guys..."
Jared: "What now, Virgil? Is the 'treasure' finally gone?...YIKES!!!"
Virgil: "Yeah...but so am I..." I looked over at Virgil to see him being sucked through the floor we stood on as he laid face down. I then looked down at my feet to notice Virgil wasn't alone. Both me and Statius were following him.
Jared: "What's going on!?"
Statius: "We are on our way to the next terrace. Your friend seems more eager than the both of us. Hohohoo!"
Jared: "You'd be suprised..."
