Chapter I

Sanguine Paradise

Deep within the High Hells, home to the monstrous and nightmare fueling Inferis, the duo of Eileen de Frey and her apprentice Sloane have gotten themselves into quite the predicament.

The sounds of horrific screams filled the blood red sky as a large eyeless frog like creature landed upon the ashen ground with a slam, dust and magma flying into the air. It unhinged its jaw to reveal multiple rows of serrated fangs between its lips. From seemingly nowhere a large icy blue ball of flame would hurl through the sky and slammed into the side of the creature, forcing it to release an even more frightening sound than before. It whips its head side to side, it danced on the line of absolute confusion and gut wrenching agony. 

Another ball of fire came from the right before the creature now, a bright cherry red as the black and grey clothed figure quickly retreated behind a small pile of debris. The red ball of hellfire only just grazed the cheek of the demon frog as an almost deafening explosion was birthed at the contact point. More unsettling wails escaped the demon as it continued to frantically hop in a circle.

 

Another figure came into view, present atop an elevated piece of black rock to the right of the gigantic creature. The undeniable Fjarriauga was on her knees as she’d frantically search through the pages of her massive tome which was set right before her. “Eileen? Eileen! Be careful, it’s starting to spaz out!”

 

The witch raised her gaze from the wicked grimoire as the blue and red flames burned at the flesh of the giant demonic amphibian before her. With each hop it would shake the earth beneath then upon landing and its pained cries seemed to be catching the attention of other Inferi, a dozen or so Imps and Beasts beginning to make their way towards the scene, releasing a series of bone-chilling cackles and roars.

 

Eileen would slam her hand upon the open section of the book before her, the same cold blue color from the prior flames rose from the page. Moving her hand back slowly as five bright blue lights shot from the bindings of the book and flew into the sky above her, crackling in the black clouds and briefly flashing a beautiful array of purples. Of the beasts that had arrived, all of them were wolf like in nature and seemed to cluster into a pack as they’d pick up speed and charge for the other sorceress. 

 

“Sloane, seven! Incoming!” The winter witch cried from atop the plateau. The other woman spun around, revealing long crimson locks of hair which now blew in the wind created by the impacts of the howling demon toad. She’d mutter a chant in Ilzakarn as her gaze glanced to her own grimoire before more cherry red flames erupted in her palm. The seven charging wolves were faster than she imagined, but she’d exhale with a bit of relief; seemingly aware that she would be faster. Her gaze briefly panned to her frozen caregiver with another nod - the flames in her hand now about the size of a melon. “Finish Hopkins off and lets get home!” 

 

The sky released a violent crack as the fifty shades of violet coated the sky above the setting - slowly five circles formed in the air with a bright blue glow radiating from each. With another violent clap, of what could best be described as thunder, the massive demon toad fell to its side with a final ‘boom’ as the two different blazes of malflame mercilessly burned away as its form. A few various imps spat pellets of malflame towards the scarlet witch, causing her to lose focus and turn for her book, quickly swiping it and doing her best to make distance - the pack of beasts quickly closing in.

 

Sloane quickly made her way to the slope which lead to Eileen as a blinding blue light caressed the ebon soil they stood on. Five meteors of malflame came raining from the sky upon the Imps and Beasts, one even directly landing on the carcass of the massive frog with radical explosions upon each impact - completely demolishing the land and sending shrapnel and magma into the air in a macabre display. Sloane fell to her knees halfway up the incline with heavy breathes, and as she’d raise her gaze she’d find the corpse cold hand of her guardian waiting to help her back on her feet. Both women released frantic cackles as Sloane was assisted to her feet with a loud sigh. 

 

The duo swiftly made their way to what was left of the gargantuan beast that had been the original foe. Blood from every orifice poured out and onto the ground to which it pooled and ran down the natural decline of the land. Each woman dipped the tips of their fingers into the waterfalls of sanguine and began to paint various different runes upon the ground beside them. After just a few quick moments, Eileen would raise her hand towards them and each began to give off a faint red haze which rose up from the occult letters. Sloane turned over her shoulder to keep watch with a smile soon cracking on her visage. “Should’ve stayed asleep Hop-Scotch, but I suppose now you’ll have forever to lay down.” The elfess said with a chuckle as she’d pat her hand against what was left of the deceased monstrosity. 

Soon the red haze collected into a cloud before the Frost Witch as she’d also release a giggle. Waggling her fingers would cause a rip to appear in the red mist before her and spread open to reveal a portal - spiraling violently with every shade of red. “We can come back any day, Sloane, but perhaps we should look into a different sanguine paradise?”
