Re: The Road to Hell
The flesh burns from her body until the agony stops because there are no more nerves to burn. She sinks to skeletal knees and still she stares. The universe screams so loud other universes can hear it. Somehow, the Rider - the entity that is Roxanne Simpson, Zarathos and more for the merging - knows these Mephistos' death knells can be heard in other worlds. Somehow, she has wounded all Devils by making these two feel a soul's torment.

With nothing to support her skull any longer, it rolls off her body next to the gem and the silence deafens as much as the scream. the hammer melts into a small pile of rock and metal dust on the floor.

Those with eyes to see catch a fleeting image. A maiden in white and a skeleton in black merge from the remains. For a moment, they appear to clasp one of each of their arms and hands in a feral salute of brotherhood and thanks before melting away into vague memory like the shape of a snowflake long remembered after it has turned to water in a warm hand...
