A beautiful day has long since past and almost everyone was asleep, or at least that is how it should be, alarms were going off, and everyone was wide awake in the middle of the night.

After all this was a prison, placed in front of one of the most dangerous locations, named after an ancient demigod “Inferno” which funny enough was in a land of snow. This was a prison made solely for a single purpose.

Those inside it will suffer and die in silence not known by anybody except the guards, once you go in you cant go out.

For that to be ensured there were numerous strong guards, several times stronger than an average man, several different walls made from various metals and minerals, there was a Lord who was almost inhuman, who to be put in charge had to pass through several tests which proved his competence through harsh trials but the main reason for it to be called the nickname “no escape” even thou the name it had was already scary, was that from two sides the prison was surrounded by mountains which were impossible to climb, the other two sides were an exceptional weapons at the pinnacle of destruction at the front which will shoot at anybody who goes out without receiving a proper authorization from someone beyond the prison walls, even the Lord of the prison couldnt go out, and a place that is known to be equivalent to fate worse than dead that is called the” Forest of Death”.

Inside the forest there is no food and so many trees, that they basically prevented you from finding a path, there are no beasts either but if you go in there is 99% chance you will die from starvation, nobody who has gone in has survived, the trees were pitch black and gave ominous feeling.

But that was normal as they were omnivores and with their roots will attack almost all living beings that came close to them after which a horrendous fate, of being used as blood sacks unable to die until only skin was left awaited the captured ones.

The thing that was most incredible however was that in the middle of the night beyond the walls of the hell like prison two young boys were running to the forest, those guys had somehow managed to escape and were now being chased by the guards.

The boys had advantage thanks to the distance between them and those who wanted to capture them but even that wouldn’t last long. The guards had horses and were already covering the distance.

All that was observed from the Lord of Inferno in the middle tower of the prison that could be used to see everywhere, the person asked the man standing next to him

Lord” Who are those boys, and what are their charges ”

Tom answered expressionlessly

Tom “Their names are a bit strange, they are called Night and Day, and their charges are that they snuck in the imperial palace during a banquet and tried to steal food, which resulted in humiliating the king ”.

The Lord named Hades frowned

Hades “so you are telling me, that the king send two young boys in the worst prison in our country, because what, they humiliated him a bit in front of the others, are you serious ’.

Tom remained unmoving as he answered

Tom ”one of them spilled wine on his clothes, and once again I will remind you Lord that you cant speak that way towards his highness ”.

Hades gazed at the two children who managed to get to the forest before the guards almost managed to catch them and shouted, his words were heard clearly by the guards

Hades “FOLLOW THEM AND I WANT THEM ALIVE, NOT DEAD, UNDERSTOOD”

He was a head of a prison but he was a person first, he couldn’t let small kids die, the prison was a torture chamber but the lowest levels weren’t worse than dead so he ordered his subordinate, once they returned to place the kids on the lowest level of the prison and give them the same food the guards eat and to make sure that there are no incidents connected to them.

As Tom was about to leave to fulfill his superior orders, Hades glanced towards the forest, thought for a bit and asked

Hades” Tom do you know the original name of the Forest of Death’

Tom stopped in his tracks seemingly in thought, but even after a few minutes he didn’t know how to answer, the forest didn’t have other name, according to history the forest was always known like “the Forest of Death” since a long time ago when a large war took place, and that forest was used for its terrifying terrain to bury a lot of soldiers from both sides and thus receiving its current one, and before that it didn’t have any recorded name whatsoever.

The Lord knew what his quite friend was thinking and snorted.

Hades” Its true that according to history the forest didn’t have a name before its current one, but do you really think that such a terrible place wouldn’t have one. ”

As if a lightbulb switched in his head Tom really thought it was strange, there was no way this place didn’t have a name before the war, people even then lived near it so they must have warned each other about this damned graveyard, even as a warning they would have given it a name so he became curious

Hades ” You see before I officially became the Lord I wanted to know more about the place that I would rule so I searched here and there and found people to answer my question. They told me a fairy tail, that explains everything including the current name as well.

Most people think that the name came from the number of soldiers who died but I always found it strange, a lot of places during that specific war had shouldered many more deaths than this forest and they didn’t receive such a name but this forest did.

According to the tail, this place wasn’t originally so cold whit snow everywhere, it was actually warm, hot even, it was territory of the God of Fire, but people betrayed that God and decided to kill it, even if they weren’t sure that they could and to do that they needed many sacrifice to perform a spell that could do the trick.

The spell was successful but it couldn’t kill the god it managed to do something similar however, it sealed it, the people left the name we know today as a memorial and a warning so that no life should go in there as only the reaper will meet them.”

Tom gave Hades a doubtful look.

In his mind those words didn’t sound possible no matter how you looked at them, it is true that there are gods but it is well known fact that they use priests and saints to do their bidding and that there are no gods that personally come to earth, and there Is magic but technology is much more useful , magic and technology don’t mics and they still used technology long ago and spells weren’t nearly as advanced as they were today, even if many were sacrificed, spells wouldn’t be able to kill a saint let alone harm a god.

Hades as if read his mind knew what Tom was thinking, to be honest even he didn’t really believe the tail but he continued to finish his story either way.

Hades ”According to the story before the concealment of the God, the forest was known as the Kingdom of fire.”

Hades took a deep breath, he had had an uncomfortable feeling ever since the kids escaped but as he wasn’t sure what it meant, after finishing his story, he continued to do the work he had put off to see what had happened.

The boys had managed to go into the forest. On first look they looked identical on the outside except for their hair, one had dark blue, short hair which almost looked like a crescent moon and the other had almost shining, golden yellow hair down to his neck, that’s one of the reasons how their names came to be, but even if the outside was almost identical the inside was different Night was faster than Day which had resulted in something really bad.

Night “FUCK, FUCK , FUCK we got to the forest but for these guys still continue to chase, and for Day to get caught even when he was just slightly behind”.

Night felt lost, he didn’t know what to do, before they decided to escape they promised each other that even if one get caught the other will escape, there is no need for both of them to die cause as how Day put it 2 is better than 1 and 1 is better than 0, .

Night shouted in anger, the fierce emotions in his voice could be clearly felt.

Night ”Day the idea was yours, you are the smart one I am the strong one and you knew about our chances, I bet you also knew thing would turn out this way but to hell whit that 1 is better than 0”.

Night who was almost at the end of the outer region of the forest turned back and started to run in the opposite direction, he couldn’t leave his only family behind no matter what.

He knew his decision was idiotic from every point of view and would render Day sacrifice useless but he didn’t care, he had always been stubborn on few things which Day disliked, today he would just add another one, it wasn’t a big deal for him, he wouldn’t let his brother die alone no matter what.

As Day was being dragged back to the prison he smiled, from the beginning he knew the chances, it was impossible to escape the guards, he wasn’t an idiot, horses were faster than people.

So before their escape he had made a promise with his brother to ensure Night would escape without him and pretend to fall, as they take him to prison, only a few if any will chase after Night as they would think that half the guards would be enough and it had worked even better than he thought it would.

Only 3 people chased Night. But as he was coming to terms with the end of his life, which was trash and was like that since the day they were born, he made up his mind and cursed at the gods, he told them a few things which even he wasn’t sure what exactly meant but had heard the older man say to other people in a bar when they were offended which usually led to a fight.

After he finished cursing he suddenly got chills, he raised his head and looked directly in front, something had happened, he was looking at the forest but he couldn’t see the black trees anymore, there was something brightening the whole place, something that gave dangerous vibes and looked like it came from nightmare that would devour everything, but as he was about to scream for his brother he heard something that made him unable to speak, his face full of surprise and despair, like a person who just saw the sky failing towards him.

Little before those events took place Night was running back to the prison, he didn’t care what would happen, the world wasn’t nice to them but at least he had Day. He had his brother so what good would it do to him to escape alone, his already unfair life would only get worse.

Those thoughts didn’t make him calm however if anything he was angry beyond believe, he was pissed at the king for sending them here, he was pissed at the guards chasing them, he was pissed at this prison, he was pissed at their parents for leaving them behind, pissed at the orphanage which saw them as way to make money, but most of all he was pissed at himself for taking all that head down unable to do anything.

As he was putting his all in his feet to chase after his only family he did the only thing that was allowed to them.

Nigh”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

The scream was filled with all his anger, the scream resounded in the whole forest, it sounded like an angry beast fighting for his life near the death door.

That moment as if something heard him and was finally awake something changed, Night felt warm, warmer, the heat was increasing and as he turned his head back to see the source of this feeling he couldn’t believe his eyes, it was day, but the time was little after midnight, he was confused he didn’t stop running but he felt like some invisible chains were broken, something powerful had freed itself.

His instincts honed trough his life where survival of the strong ruled screamed for him to run, it told him that even the kings guards renowned as the strongest army, and the strongest people in this world were lesser than bugs compared to whatever that was, the ground shook and cried like the world was being torn apart, a giant pillar of dense, blood colored hellfire erupted from the ground and reached the sky illuminating the night.

Everything starting with it as the center was melting and burning, everything was turning into ash and as it fell from the pillar in the middle of the forest the ash formed a majestic ash colored castle, more beautiful than the one the king resided it.

From the castle a dominating pressing sound was heard, the ash dispersed violently as if something broke the magnificent grey walls of the castle that was just formed.

Everyone at the prison tried to hide, even if they didn’t know what had happened they could still feel it, and one thing was clear, as long as they were concerned it wasn’t their job to deal with it, they were all trained in torture and fear management so that they wouldn’t let even single prisoner escape even at the cost of their own life, but that thing was no prisoner, and it wasn’t normal fear they felt, it was like primal fear a rabbit has for a lightning, they preferred life, the sole exceptions were two people. Hades looked at Tom with a smirk.

Hades “still think it’s a fairy tail”

Tom with a look of desperation answered

Tom “Congrats you were right, and we are all probably going to die, but whatever that is, its closer to a demon than a god, we are done for”

looking through the windows a giant flame with two holes that served for eyes, that had come out of the ash castle and was making a strange sound could be seen, Hades shrugged his shoulders.

Hades “we still don’t know if we are going to die, wait for now and don’t do anything, we dont know what can anger it, we will wait for it to talk first, even if outside help came it wont be able to deal whit that anyway”

For them who were the strongest at the prison, it was much tougher than for the guards and the prisoners who couldn’t feel even half of the pressure coming from that thing.

Usually in this world it was difficult to tell about someone strength just by looking at them, but the being in front of them however was radiating power which shouldn’t belong to anything in this world.

So for them it was clear, it didn’t matter what it was, demon, god or whatever, that thing was not something that should have been awoken.

Night heard the sounds coming from the giant flame with eyes and it made him terrified, not cause of the pressure he felt, or because of the nightmarish appearance but because he was one of the two people here who could understand what the weird sound coming from the giant creature meant.

The creature was shouting, it didn’t have a human face, but if it had a look of unimaginable anger would be placed on it, its feeling weren’t hard to guess.

Flame [HUMANS I WILL BURN YOU ALL, I WILL BURN THE EARTH YOU ARE WALKING ON, THE SKY ABOVE YOU, THE THINGS YOU TREASURE,THE FAMILY THAT YOU HAVE, NOT ONE OF YOU WILL BE SPARED OR LEFT ALIVE, ALL OF YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE PAIN OF BEING EATEN ALIVE BY MY FLAMES, YOU ALL WILL SUFFER AN UNAMAGINABLE TORTURE AND TURN TO DUST BENEATH ME, I… I ]

Night and Day both thought at the same time{we are fucked}.

Hades however didn’t think too much and asked Tom one last question

Hades ”By the way what do you think the name of the demigod in the story is, I will give you a tip the name of this prison”

The deputy lord whispered as he was dumbstruck, chills ran down his spine “Inferno”.

Flame [I…I INFERNO, GOD WITH DOMINION OVER FIRE WILL BURN EVERYTHING YOU LOVE IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES, I WILL TURN IT ALL TO ASHE, I WILL WATCH AS YOUR WHOLE BODIES TURNS TO DUST IN THE BLAZING FIRE AND FADE AWAY IN THE WIND, YOU WILL BEG TO BE KILLED WITH FACES FILLED WITH DISPEAR. IN MY NAME, I WILL MAKE YOU REPENT,I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER ].

End.
