((OOC: Yes, I know I'm going to get my ass kicked for this, but my characters need to learn humility some time...))

Two lesser demons walked through the Northern Gate, a portal that connected the North Pole of the Kreegan Dimension to a spot just above the equator in the NS world. The were dragging along with them a person, more specifically a girl. This girl had long flowing pink hair, and was struggling against the demons with what was left of her strength. However, the bruised and battered girl soon learned that this was of no avail when one of the demons struck her flat to the ground with one of its mighty hands. The girl, though her flesh was mutilated and her clothes were torn, looked up defiantly at the demon, and spat into its firey eyes.
"I am Helena Cocytus," she roared, "and I will not be treated this way! You will unhand me NOW!"
The demon stared at her, its eyes pearcing into her soul.
"Yesssss...." it hissed, "Thissss issss a fiesssty one. Lucccifer will be mosssst pleassssed..."
It then latched one of its huge hands onto the top of Helena's skull, and physically lifted her off her feet and drug her further in the direction of the palace of the Kreegans.

((OOC: In case you're wondering, Helena Cocytus was the former leader of Axackal II, one of Mishkal's nations. Her nation was obliterated by Melkor, and she came a *bit* too close to one of the portals on her wanderings. The demons, who love to enslave humans, recognised her strength and drug her off through the portal into their realm. She is officially the first human from the outside in the Kreegan Dimension))

"Youssss the firsssst hu-man to be heressss in a loooong time..." one of the demons exhaled out in one fluid sentence, "We lovessss hu-mansssssss. Theyssss goesssss great with brimssssstone."
The nails of the demon dug deeper into Helena's scalp as they approached the grand Kreegan palace. The demon not holding Helena knocked on the door, which immeadiately became rimmed with fire and swung open, revealing the hot, dry, and occasionally burning halls of Lucifer Kreegan's palace. On the walls were paintings and murals of humans being slayed, tortured, and occasionally raped by demons of the Kreegan hordes. But those who painted these pictures had long sense passed away, as humans were up until now an extinct spieces in the Kreegan Dimension. However, the paintings were not nearly as hideous as the statues, which depicted these same acts in three dimensions. The demon holding Helena felt her shudder, but it didn't care at all.

My my, how Heroes 3...

My my, how Heroes 3...OOC: Quite. Actually, there are a few distinct differences. For one, in our universe the Kreegan demons won complete victory. If it weren't for those bastards Catherine and Glu, this would've been a reality in that other universe, too... :cry: ))

The smell of sulfer filled the air as the demon not holding Helena pounded on the giant metal doors of the throne room, where Lucifer Kreegan sat.
Bong... Bong...
The echo of the knocks reverberated throughout the halls of the Forbidden Palace, causing several of the lesser Imps present to cover their ears and squeel in pain. A drop of blood trickled down Helena's scalp from where one of her demon's nails dug into her scalp. She moaned, wondering what awaited her on the other side of this door.
"ENTER!" boomed a voice even more loud and terrible than the hellish clang of the door. The doors swung open slowly, revealing a throne room with a gigantic devil sitting on a throne of human and elven skulls.
"WHAT IS THIS?", the devil roared, "HOW DARE YOU BRING A LIVE HUMAN INTO OUR WORLD!"
"I'm sssssorry... masssster..." said one of the demons, who immeadiately cringed and dropped to one knee, "But sssssshe found her waysssss in on her ownssssssss..."
"VERY WELL," the master devil replied, "SHE SEEMS TO BE VERY CRAFTY FOR A WOMAN, THOUGH LACKING IN COMMON SENSE. SHE ALMOST REMINDS ME OF THE LATE CATHERINE GRYPHENHEART, BEFORE I CRUSHED HER LITTLE SKULL. BUT HERE, I THINK WE CAN USE THIS HUMAN."
With that, Lucifer Kreegan reached out one of his massive hands and took Helena from the demon. This is when Helena began to scream.

OOC: But...er...how would you two know?

Err

OOC: But...er...how would you two know?Ummm... make that OOCly disturbed...
*shifty eyes*

"YOU DO KNOW," Kreegan began as he wrapped his enormous fingers around Helena's tiny body, "THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY LIVING HUMAN IN EXISTANCE IN THIS PLANE OF REALITY? OH, BUT I CAN CHANGE ALL THAT..."
He began to toss Helena from hand to hand, and he seemed to take in great pleasure from her shreaks and wails.
"YES... NOW YOU REALIZE I COULD CRUSH YOU LIKE A BUG, AND THAT I COULD DESTROY ALL OF HUMANITY IN THIS DIMENSION ONCE AGAIN. BUT THAT WOULDN'T BE VERY USEFUL, SO I MIGHT AS WELL TAKE EVERYTHING I CAN FROM YOU BEFORE I KILL YOU."
With that Kreegan caught Helena in one of his mighty hands and held her up close to his face. She could see fire and smoke bellow out of his nostrels as he spoke, and the sulfer smell intensified to almost leathal levels.
"Give me your thoughts... give me your soul..." Kreegan began to chant in a booming whisper, and Helena's forehead began to glow a ghostly blue glow (that very much clashed with her pink color scheme). A little ball of light emerged, which Kreegan promptly sealed in a tiny obsidian urn.

He set Helena down, she was barely able to stand up and kept wobbling sickly around. Kreegan placed his finger in the middle of her forehead, where the glowing ball had emerged once before.
"Tell me all you know..."

Wow, thats pretty good writing though.

Drained of her will to resist, Helena's mind spilled open and reveiled her entire life's worth of memories. Her bloody rise to power, ordering the assassination of her parents, having a fling with her royal guard, everything about her nation's inner workings, and many many other things. One thing caught the attention of Kreegan, though, and that was Helena's hate-filled memories of an orc named Morgoth. Apparently this Morgoth fellow double-crossed her, professing to be her friend but secretly plotting to assassinate her. Kreegan had seen enough, and as he removed his finger from Helena's scalp she dropped to the ground, all but dead. She gasped for breath, but her lungs only filled with brimstone.
"INCREDIBLE!" Kreegan bellowed, "THIS MORGOTH OF THE ORCS IS INDEED POWERFUL AND IS FOR THE EXTINCTION OF HUMANS AND ELVES, AS ARE WE. HOWEVER, WE MUST DEAL WITH HIM CAREFULLY. SKRULL! VANDISH!"
The two demons that brought in Helena perked up, eager to take orders from their master.
"GO FIND THIS LORD MORGOTH AT ONCE AND OFFER HIM AN ALLIANCE. SEE IF YOU CAN'T FIND ANY PORTALS IN HIS NATION, AND IF HE OFFERS US ONE OF THESE 'PARADES', TURN HIM DOWN ON HIS OFFER."
Vandish and Skrull darted out of the room and headed for the Northern Gate, where they could hopefully pick up the trail of Melkor's troops and find his nation. When they exited the room, Lucifer Kreegan turned to Helena.
"RISE, MORTAL!"
The urn glowed, and Helena stumbled to her feet.
