Two people stood near a destroyed wall, surrounded by barren sand and dead vegetation. The scorching sun beat down on them mercilessly, making it hard to even open their eyes.
As they looked out into the endless desert, they realized they were completely lost.
"Nyssa, do you know where we are?" Lauryn asked, trying to keep her voice steady. "I've only ever known the human world, so I don't know much about this place."
Nyssa looked around, trying to get her bearings. "We're definitely not in the Land of Lust," she said, shaking her head. "This looks like one of the outer circles, or maybe even one of the other Lands."
She did not experience any fear, but she would have loved to have all of the data in front of her before making any decisions. Lauryn had gotten rid of her old clothes, which were not appropriate for the fight they were about to engage in.
She conjured out her standard fighting garb with a straightforward magical spell, the same one she had used in all of her prior battles.
It was constructed out of thick, padded leather that had been coloured to match the colours of her hair, which were black, green, and a dark pink.
Lauryn's attention turned to Nyssa, who appeared calm and collected. "Nyssa, do you have any any idea where we are?" she asked.
Lauryn took note of Nyssa's statement about their current location and the realm they were in. She carefully examined her surroundings once more, observing the bleak and barren landscape, devoid of life or any sign of civilization. The thought of being in Hell sent shivers down her spine, but she did her best to remain composed.
She listened intently as Nyssa continued to speak, explaining that they were in the realm of Endless Starvation, a place where those who had committed acts of gluttony were punished. It was crucial to locate their missing group members and seek shelter as quickly as possible.
Lauryn thought about what she knew about the realm of Endless Starvation. She had heard tales of it in the past, of how souls would wander endlessly in search of food and water, only to find none. She wondered how they would survive in such a desolate and punishing environment.
As she pondered, Nyssa's words brought her back to the present. She mentioned the importance of finding shelter and gathering the remaining members of their group. Lauryn nodded in agreement, realizing that they needed to work together and to find the shelter for a time being and after that finding their remaining team member.
Despite her composure, Nyssa couldn't hide her discomfort from the scorching sun and dry winds that battered her skin. Her voice lacked the usual enthusiasm and energy that Alex had grown accustomed to hearing from her.
Perhaps, she thought to herself, it was due to the absence of Alex's comforting presence. Nyssa had left behind the grand attire she had originally chosen for the meeting, recognizing that it was impractical for their current situation.
In its place, Nyssa wore her metallic uniform, which had been specifically designed for the key members of Pride's court. The uniform was both flexible and bendable, allowing for maximum mobility in combat.
The metallic material shimmered in the sunlight, giving off a bright and radiant glow that spoke of Nyssa's status within her group.
It was clear that she took pride in her uniform, and it gave her a sense of confidence as they traversed through the barren wasteland of Endless Starvation.
Just like Lauryn, Nyssa had conjured her uniform with a simple spell, but the process was different. She had to channel her magic through a specially designed glove that she wore on her right hand.
As she closed her eyes and concentrated, a golden aura began to emanate from her body, gradually enveloping her form. The aura coalesced into a bright, metallic armor, which she wore with ease.
Nyssa's uniform was a rare and costly piece of armor that wasn't mass-produced, unlike other types of armor.
It was tailored specifically for her and only worn by key members of Pride's court. The metallic uniform was highly flexible and bendable, allowing for maximum movement, while still providing top-notch defense against all types of attacks.
The metal of the armor had the appearance of ebony, and the pattern was intricate and made of platinum filigree.
The attention to detail was impressive, with every curve and line carefully crafted by skilled artisans. Nyssa took pride in her uniform, as it was a symbol of her status and her prowess in battle.
In addition to her uniform, Nyssa was armed with a sword that was slung around her waist. Unlike other swords that typically had ornate designs or unique patterns, this sword lacked any distinctive adornments.
However, the craftsmanship of the sword was evident in the expertly forged blue metal of superior grade that could only be found in the circles.
Lauryn expressed her surprise at finding herself in Hell, a place she expected to encounter only after her death. She commented on the lack of a grand entrance, as opposed to being unceremoniously dropped next to a ruined wall in the middle of nowhere.
Despite her initial jest, she agreed to follow Nyssa's suggestion of finding shelter and regrouping with their companions.
Lauryn then applied her critical thinking skills and assessed the situation to the best of her ability.
She recalled what the King man had previously stated about their adversary being in a similar situation to their own, split up and disoriented with no means of communication until one hour before the same time the following day.
Lauryn proposed that they act on this hypothesis and proceed accordingly.
