What would he do to me? Would he drag me to Hell and leave me to perish there? What was Hell even like? Or would he take his time carving me up and banishing my soul to the deepest, darkest pits where I’d live out my worst fears?
I shut my mind off, knowing such thoughts would sway my decision.
I needed to save everyone no matter the cost. My life was not worth more than any of theirs.

The panic and fear set in, and I gasped as Baal yanked me to my feet. I could feel the heat around me now, the darkness and despair engulfing me.
Everything inside me screamed for me to run, but I stood firm.
This was for my friends, and my hellhounds.
