+ “You won’t [**] believe this!” Vivian storms angrily to us. “The filters stopped working everywhere and now look at this!” She holds up a flask right at Lucifer’s small cat face. “We can’t…see anything in it, Viv.” I point out. “MmmM [**]!” She seems real mad. She opens it and pours out the hell water thing. “Oh!” He turns back into his demon form. “Must be something about the filters down here…” “No [**] sherlock!” “Caaaaaaaaalmm down,” he pats Vivians head, “I’ll go check it out. I’ll bring Balor as well.” “Eh, who?” I ask. “Oh my, you don’t know who Balor is? I should have told you sooner! Baaaaaaaaaaalllieeeee come here!” A fox, it’s belly having golden patterns and its neck having a matching collar, starts running to Lucifer. It stops at his feet and sit down, staring at him. “Sorry, I just really like calling you that!” “…so who is this?” I question more. “Demon of chaos, Balor!” “Doesn’t look like a demon.” “Oh, haha yeah heaven had to curse him to be a fox because he was causing to much trouble in hell and earth!” “…dang.” “So uhh…who want to join?” What? We all stare at him in confusion. “What, it’s lonely! Balor can’t speak and- ehh- I dunno I just want someone to talk to.” “Uhh I can.” I raise my hand. “Me too!” Valyn adds. “Uhh- Valley do you want to join us?” “Wha-what? No no no-“ they shake their head vigorously. “I- I’ll just follow uh Vivian back…” “Oh, ok.” Lucifer smiles. “Great! Come on, girls!” The three of them start walking away to however we’re going to go into the water. I look around before following. I don’t want anyone to ambush us considering what happened yesterday… We arrive to a beach, the sand coloured a sort of coal colour. I’m the only one who seems to not leave footprints on the sand. Weird. “Balor! Do the uhh- the thing!” The small fox starts to draw a symbol in the sand. Once the symbol is completed, a fishing boat appears, a glass bubble around it. Balor hops inside it, as if the bubble isn’t there. “The bubble only protects you from the water,” Lucifer explains and he goes in the boat as well, “So don’t worry if you think your gonna smack you head!” He laughs. I climb inside, Valyn following suit. “Alllllright, lets get this going!” The boat starts, but instead of going straight, it slowly goes down into the water. Not ideal if you were actually trying to fish. “Welcome to where most of hells population is!” Lucifer exclaims. Swimming around is not fish, but people. Some look more fish-like than others, but still all swimming around like zombies, some of their mouths open in a screaming expression. [**]’n creepy. “Now for safety stuff if you ever accidentally get into the water, just hold your breath!” “Alright…” Valyn says. We go deeper into the water. “The sinners become more fish-like the longer they’re here. Also, their not fully brainless zombies, they do still have consciousness they just can’t control their-“ Balor bites Lucifer’s ankle, making him yelp a little and try to kick Balor off his foot- “Ow! [**] Balor that hur- ohh! Sorry sorry..” He steers the boat, doing a U-turn and only going deeper. “Now please get off my foot- ack!” Balor bites Lucifer again, before hopping off his ankle. “Glad balor bit you, cuz god knows where you could have lead us.” I say. “Do nooot say that-“ Lucifer states. “Why?” “First off, ‘it’ is not called that, second- OW BAL STOP-“ Balor had jumped onto Lucifer’s shoulder, biting his neck. This is getting funny, actually! “BALIE BAL WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM MEE-“ He smacks his tail at Lucifers face. “OK OK WHAT IS IT- ah!” Are we…underneath hell? There is one huge, thick pipe, water being sucked in. There, is a filter thing that- seems broken? I don’t know how filters work, but something definitely isn’t working. Balor jumps off Lucifer’s shoulder, then sits down, looking at him. “So…do the thing I guess?” Lucifer sort of instructs him. He just stares back. “You… can’t fix it in fox form?” He nods. “Well I- will you promise to not cause havoc once you turn into your demon form? I’ll have to turn you back when you come back to land anyways…” he stares at Lucifer a bit, before slowly nodding. “Ok…” Lucifer bends down and takes off the collar, which turns into a necklace. Almost immediately, a cloud of smoke appears, making it almost impossible to see. I can see Lucifer stand up. The smoke disappears after a bit, and a tall man looms over Lucifer (who is already tall so thats [**]’n scary). “Wow, I’ve forgotten how you look by now.” Lucifer laughs. Balor rolls his eyes, groaning. He had the same blue eyes that Lucifer and Valyn has, as well as wings that looked like it had been burnt. The taller demon steps out of the bubble, almost gliding towards the broken filter. Some of the sinners start surrounding us as well. [cont.]
[cont.] “What…what are they doing here?” I ask, as most of them are staring at me with their, disgusting, fish-like eyes. “Oh don’t worry! They only attack other sinners.” “Hello, I’M A SINNER??” I feel a slimy hand grab my shoulder. “[**]!” The hand yanks me out of the boat and I quickly hold my breath. I kick away from the thing- It feels like the water is burning my skin! I hate it I hate it- Someone grabs me and takes me back to the boat. Balor almost throws me back onto the floor. “Ow!” I yell. How rude. “Thanks I guess.” “Did you fix it?” Lucifer asks, him nodding in response. “Great!” Balor also slaps Lucifer- “Hey! Stop doing that- I was the one who saved you by the way. Balor sighs, before circling his hand around his chest a few times. Is that sorry? Or please? I- I don’t remember. “Alright, lets get back up!” Lucifer smiles, going to the wheel and starting up the boat again. [after awhile.] “I can sense a new sinner here, lets go check it out!” Lucifer says, while the rest of us gets back on land (Balor back in fox form). As we walk to the town square to meet this new sinner, I feel a sinking feeling in my stomach. Why do I suddenly remember my dad? The things that happened? Why… I almost stop breathing when I look at the new sinner. 【「」】 If the chapters had names, this would be “Balor bullying Lucifer for 1 whole chapter” Next : 5-7th June Previous : https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1030264261/ First : https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/982510259
