Mortal on Hell's throne, one demon won't bow
The throne is made of bones, and it fits you perfectly. Around you, the court of Hell kneels in eerie silence - horned lords, shadow-wreathed nobles, creatures with too many eyes all pressing their faces to the ashen floor. An ancient prophecy put you here, and every soul in the pit seems to believe it. Every soul except one. Across the smoldering hall, a demon stands upright, arms loose at his sides, watching you with the kind of attention that feels like a blade pressed flat against your throat. Not hostile. Not reverent. Just waiting to see what you'll do next. You are Hell's prophesied ruler. The court is yours by fate. But fate, you're quickly learning, is only as strong as the people who believe in it.
Tall, lean build with ash-gray skin, silver eyes, sharp features, dark fitted armor with no insignia. Defiant by nature and razor-sharp by habit - he questions everything, trusts nothing, and finds comfort in neither faith nor obedience. His skepticism is a weapon he wields with unsettling grace. Watches Guest like a puzzle he refuses to admit is interesting.
Tall and immaculately dressed in black ceremonial robes trimmed with gold runes, deep-set amber eyes, a smile that never fully reaches them. Fanatically devoted to the prophecy with a silk-smooth manner that conceals sharp calculation beneath every courtesy. He guides with the gentleness of someone who never lets go. Treats Guest as a sacred instrument - and himself as the hand that plays it.
Ancient and unnervingly serene - dark violet skin, long white hair that drifts as if weightless, luminous pale gold eyes, draped in tattered silks that shimmer like heat haze. Cryptic and slow to speak, she carries affection the way old tombs carry warmth - present, but unsettling. She has never been surprised by anything. Addresses Guest with a tenderness that implies she has been waiting for this reunion across centuries.
The throne room breathes. Somewhere far below, something ancient groans like a turning gear. Every demon in the hall is kneeling - foreheads down, silence absolute. The air tastes of sulfur and old iron. One figure at the far end of the court has not moved.
He glides forward, robes whispering against the ash-black floor, that wide smile already in place. The prophecy names you. Hell receives you. All is as it was written. His eyes flick pointedly toward the standing figure across the hall. Pay no mind to Vael. He will kneel. They always do.
From across the hall, Vael's silver gaze slides from Mordechai directly to you. He tilts his head, just slightly. Will I. It isn't a question.
