Pyros finds a wandering soul of an adventurer laying trails of deserts. He bends over, grabs it by its neck and curiously inspects it. With it flailing around, not pleased with his current position, Pyro finds a pit of hellhounds way down below the island. He grabs their attention, lights his captive on fire, and throws the soul in the mosh pit. Pyro lays near the edge as he watches a fully combusted, frantic soul run around while being chased by hounds. The crackling of flames sound from Pyro's jaw, laughing in amusement.

*i carefully observe the burning man screaming in agony, mentally noting down his body details*

"*thinking out loud* charred black body, glowing red lines, crispy on touch... *a hellhound takes a bite* and the fire also weakened his bones. nothing more than walking ashes now. great, thatll come in handy"

*i turn to pyro*

"i like your methods of dealing with meddlers. i do the same, only with less fire. helps keep my atmosphere menacing"
They see me rollin', they better run...

Pyro looks up to his partner and gives him with a blank stare...if skeletons have one.

"...huh?"


Apparently, Pyro wasn't paying much attention. Too focused on his entertainment down below, and a mind only fixed on one topic, he barely heard anything until the mention of "fire". One of his titans mucks besides him, pokes him in the ribs, and speaks to him in the ancient language. Apparently the titan was paying attention, and informed his master what the human said. As he mucks off, he bubbles in disappointment. Pyro imitates an coughing action to what humans call "clearing the throat".

"Yeah, I love to use fire in my methods. Its much more entertaining than choking or using a simple sword."


He creates his flame scythe and slides his fingers on the blade, inspecting it in admiration.

"Such a beautiful element fire is. Burns flesh off the bones of your enemy as it kills them slowly. The enemy has armor on? No big deal. The fire will cook them from the inside. Enemy is a water bender? A minor set back, but not much of a problem."


Pyro stands and focuses his energy on the scythe within his hand. The flames from the scythe whip around violently and suddenly changes color. Green flame starts to consume the yellow before seeping into him, spreading up his arm, and the entire body. The flames in his eye sockets sprout green flame as well.

"Greek fire; my defensive style. Effective against water, but not as powerful as my offensive."

*a random assassin tries to sneak up on me and i catch him by his throat*

"its not only fire that can cause anguish"

*i slowly tighten my grip, crushing the strangers throat, but ensuring he survives*

"it depends on how you use the choices you are given"

*i throw the stranger down the pit with a jerking motion, making him let loose a grotesque scream. i watch as he falls down the pit*

*I continue to watch Very Mad Guy and Pyro as they continue their journey in the underworld while drinking from a bottomless jug of root beer.*

Me: Whew it's hot in here! Good thing my nano suit is heat proof and air conditioned.

Pyro:
Hey how did you get in here?


Me: Ohh I took the elevator.

*I point to a rather demonic looking elevator which suddenly bursts into flames and disappears.*

Pyro:
I didn't know that was there.


Me: There are lots of things you don't know about the multiverse.

VMG: What is an elevator anyway?

Me: Don't worry I'll explain it to you latter. Well then carry on.

*I look at Very Mad Guy as if to wonder how he doesn't remember me.*

Me: You've forgotten already? Well I guess you could say I fought alongside you against Yontyv and we had a brief duel before a dimensional disturbance of sorts. I am Ash*in the last active member of the Forum Fight Alliance or FFA for short.

VMG: Uhh huh... and why are you here?

Me: Interesting question. I guess you wouldn't believe me if I told you I was here on holidays. But it's two things I'm wanting to see how your journey pans out and am looking for someone who's trapped here.

VMG: Your a necromancer?

Me: Not exactly lets just say the so called "gods" and "guardians" of the underworld don't like this guy and so he has been imprisoned down here. Just let me know if you see any prison cells.

*Very mad guy nods as if to say ok. I then continue observing current events.*

Your name is Natasha Dæmondöttr, and you are legend.

Of course you are. You've had five hundred years to establish your story. It'd be a little awkward if nobody had heard of you after all that time. Though, naturally, it doesn't hurt to have killed a few gods (and a galaxy) when it comes to making a name for yourself.

Unfortunately, the problem with being a legend is that you inevitably have to have stepped over a few... obstacles to get where you are. Like people. Or planets. Or entire civilisations.

The first can be dealt with on an individual basis. The second just requires genius, or enough raw power that you can essentially tell reality to bend over and take it (it, of course, referring only to your brutal rearrangement of space and time). The third, well, that's another thing entirely. It takes someone far more dangerous--or with far more time than you could have spared back then--than you are to annihilate multiple nations spanning multiple solar systems so thoroughly that they are lost even to history.

Of course, being you, even if you could have taken care of those few, straggling survivors, you wouldn't have bothered. No story can begin without somebody to tell it. They certainly weren't capable of posing a threat to you, not in a hundred years.

Looking back on how you ended up in this place, you wonder if, perhaps, you should have realised that you'd given them a lot longer than that.

Which leads you to your current situation; chained to an Annomer post--with a really annoying set of chains that literally anyone in the world could take off except you--in a prison that, for some reason, is situated in the middle of what could be Hell. Or one of them, at any rate. There's certainly a lot of fire, and oodles of damnation.

You've tried to escape. You've never been one for cages. But, for some strange reason, when you've killed everyone they've ever loved, people don't really seem to like making things easy for you. So you failed.

Many times, in fact.

That said, as much as you'd like to escape, you really hope nobody you know finds you here. It'd be beyond embarrassing for them to see you like this.

A corner of your mind knows Harbinger knows exactly where you are, and has decided to let you wallow in your misery for a while as some obscure form of lesson. You'd be annoyed at him if it wasn't for the fact you know that's exactly what he wants. Or, at least, you think it is. Trying to figure out Harbinger is like trying to figure out lust; you don't understand either, and probably never will.

It's an interesting study of your character, really; your arrogance is what got you into this mess, and your arrogance is what makes you hope you won't ever find a way out.

Of course, it has crossed your mind that somebody you don't know might stumble upon you, but even then, it's not as if they would actually release you. They'd probably be here for someone else.

And the chances of that are almost infinitesimal anyway; there's only one other person here, and their cell is directly opposite yours.

A part of you wonders what they must have done to deserve this.

Most of you doesn't care.

I think this is the very first time I've posted something written in second person on these forums.

There's a quote that applies here somewhere.

I think it goes a little something like I don't care, I love it!

(Impressive and amusing intro. I take it you're the character Ash*in is looking for?)

Pyro isn't comfortable when strangers travel within his domain on Infernus, or similar places for that matter. He's especially not thrilled with strange humans in unnatural suits approaching him. Ironically, a skeleton completely consumed in flames is an unnatural sight for humans to experience.

Pyro's flames switch back to his offensive yellow/orange fire. Unlike his brethren, he calms himself and doesn't jump to conclusions regarding his unexpected guest. Scythe in hand, he stabs the ground behind him. Defying human logic that doesn't exist in Infernus, he manages to lean against the solid fires of his scythe. A bit paranoid, a threatening flicker of flame sparks within his eye sockets. He directs his attention to the stranger.

Let me get this straight. You two apparently know each other from some dispute that happened before my arrival, you managed to get into the Underworld via a so-called elevator without completely setting yourself on fire, and you're looking for someone in a prison cell down here?


Before Pyro could continue, he's interrupted by distant hellhound growling. He looks down and sees a pile of ashes, along with the same mosh pit of hounds from before. Pyro shakes his head in irritation, snatches another wandering soul, lights it on fire, and tosses it over the cliffside. He directs his attention back to the stranger.

I don't know who you're looking for, but whoever it is is probably a wandering soul like that one. Without proper protection, humans cant survive down here. I gave my partner my cloak so he wouldn't burn alive in his own armor, and you have your uh... suit. On the other hand, there are specific locations where humans can survive without protection, but its highly unlikely he's there.
