going to save me a second time from being killed by him was it.
Chapter five: Doctor Death
Hacked to pieces I regained consciousness although my vision was hazy at best. Blood was everywhere. Hardly called living anymore, my guts were hanging out, splattered on the sandy floor. Elder Azazel had peeled back a vast majority of my skin. At first there was tremendous pain. Now there was nothing. Whether it was shock or my brain overloaded so much so that it just refused to recognise pain I was sort of thankful. “ I know this is not easy younger Azazel but please do forgive me for the untold torture I am inflicting upon you. I must rid your body quickly of the spirit chains that tie you to heaven or else you will evaporate into nothingness. There is a reason I brought you into Limbo and not directly to Hell. You chose Hell over Heaven. You may not realise this but out of millions if not billions of souls that have come down to Limbo they all vanish into dust, this sand that we stand upon is the remains of those that wished to be cleansed of sins and enter the garden of Eden. You alone chose Hell when no one in their right mind would and that makes this worth doing.” No idea what the fuck elder Azazel was talking about I watched as he reached deep inside my stomach, incredible pain returning again. Would I survive such inhumane torture? Falling several thousand miles from the real would, survived that bullshit. Getting thunder zapped into oblivion to the point I am sure my asshole cooked inside, survived that. Sort of surviving the twisted demonic crap this winged bastard was putting me through. “ Am… I immortal?” I asked, almost choking on my own blood whilst that fucker continued to route around inside my body. With no idea what the winged one found within me it felt like he was tugging on rope deep inside me, every single tug felt more wrenching and painful than any previous torture I had endured. “ No. You are not immortal Azazel and neither am I. You only age in Hell when you want to age that is unless you happen to be born there; I personally preferred a more manly appeal. It goes down smother when I have to visit the world of the living. You have so many questions, quite understandably. Answers shall be given but the reason you are alive right now is not because you are immortal. The scythe I wield can only harm, not kill. Only exceptional demons within Hell have one of these although they quite possibly fashion it into another tool. If this was to slice your head off or cut you into very tiny pieces it would not kill you. I could simply reassemble you like a puzzle and you would be good as new.” Elder Az stopped speaking as he yanked again, ripping something out of my body. It was like a silky white rope. Glistening like diamonds it looked pretty. “ This younger Azazel is what is known as your soul’s repentance. With this still trapped inside your new body you would physically not be able to survive Limbo. It was me who ensured that you came to Limbo because I need a favour, a quest that you will very much like.” “ You… Want me… To help you? Go fuck… Yourself!” I spat on the man but he paid no attention as he began sticking bits and pieces back inside me.
Watching elder Azazel toss my soul’s repentance aside it squirmed on the melting hot sand before turning into a small smouldering pile of ash. No sooner than it evaporated it was like a vast weight had been removed off of my shoulders. Since entering the sordid place I had struggled to breathe and walk. Now it felt like a hot day, still too hot to be dressed in full on black clothing. “ That should do it. Liver, kidneys, intestines, bladder and stomach all in their right place. Now to sow you up and replenish your blood.” Utterly exhausted from this whole ordeal that had nary lasted twenty minutes I stood upright observing elder Azazel as he turned his index finger to flame and began searing the wound that ran from the
