RONE IS DYING. THE AGONY OF HIS MANY WOUNDS HAS TURNED TO
ice, and the sucking cold drags him toward his final end—his second death.
Oblivion. His soul leaks through the cracks in his body into the void of the
aether, but he’s not afraid. He’s tired of fighting.
Maybe death will be a mercy.
Rone remembers little about being human, but he does remember the first
time he died. It was just like this. Cold. Agonizing. Drawn out. Discarded
by those who used him for violent ends, he succumbed to the end—and
woke up in Hell. His human and demon lives blur together, butchery and
bloodshed, scrabbling out a meagre existence under the iron fist of his
various masters.
He’s always been a weapon. He allowed himself no moral quandary. His
choice was to live as a killer or die useless.
But as he watches himself die from outside his body, a tiny, forgotten part
of him raises its head and whispers, is this it?
Isn’t there more to this existence?
Other demons jostle and swarm in the periphery of his consciousness,
lifting his stretcher, passing it on, marching. His battalion is fleeing the
massacre. Moans of pain and hair-raising howls erupt around him as others
succumb to their own end. Soon he might give one last cry himself.
The march goes on and on and on. The road back to Hell is long with
dozens of wounded. Rone spins in and out of himself, losing a bit of clarity
every day. Demons are hard to kill—a captain is harder to kill than the rest.
But his own ichor has turned fetid, and it poisons him, black rot creeping
across his skin. Only the Hellspring can heal him.
“Put the captain there,” someone says harshly amidst the cacophony of
other shouted orders. A jarring drop comes next. Rone makes no sound.
He forces his eyes open.
This isn’t the Hellspring at Mount Hythe, where demons are healed and
reborn in the deep, black lake. Rone doesn’t recognize the place through the
haze of his injuries. A shrapnel wound carved across his face interrupts one
eye, and ichor from the wound seeps into the other. The Hellspring won’t
save his eye. But it might save his life.
“He’ll go to the spring next?” one demon asks, and the other scoffs.
“Nah. They would’ve dropped him there first. The Quartermaster has other
plans for him.”
No, Rone wants to shout. He needs to be healed. It won’t be long before he
can’t hang on. But he doesn’t have the power to speak.
“What’s he got up his sleeve?”
“Better hope it’s good,” comes the grim reply. “We can’t afford to lose
another captain.”
“You might get promoted,” says his companion. “Get a bigger and better
body.”
“Rank is no reward. I’d rather die quick than live through those wounds.”
“Coward,” the first demon mutters.
Their voices fade, or maybe it’s Rone fading again. The void encroaches,
sipping from his soul in sharp, agonizing tugs. A burst of fear and anger
makes him thrash. He shouts wordlessly.
