Nadia nodded, then pulled on his arm one more time before letting go and starting down the slope again. There were more people and souls being tortured everywhere she looked, so she tried to walk quickly, staring down at where she placed her feet, and not at the figures around them.
The sooner they could get out of here, the better, as far as she was concerned. The last thing she wanted to do was get cornered by something like what had just happened to Bel.
Bel walked with her, ignoring the screaming and crying around them, his thoughts turned inward. He hoped he was right. That couldn't have been his father. His mother had trapped his father's soul after she killed him, and Bel had no idea where he was now. Not this place. He couldn't be in this place. His father was a good man who married the wrong woman.
They passed tar pits, snake pits, and pits that seemed to be filled, strangely enough, with flaming feet, progressing ever downwards, to the point where Nadia was beginnig to wonder if they were going the right way, after all.
But more than that, she was terrified of returning to that strange forest, so she continued onward until she was forced to stop at the edge of a cliff.
It looked like they'd reached the center of this place. Giants stood all along the edge of the pit, themselves so tall and the well so deep that Nadia and Bel stood level with their navels, and had to crane their necks to look the Giants in the eye.
How the hell--Hell, we're in Hell, I'm in HELL--were they supposed to get beyond this?
"Still can't shimmer," Bel confirmed reluctantly. He looked the giants over, hating feeling short compared to them. "So, think we gotta go down in the pit?" he asked idly. Somehow that didn't seem like a good plan.
