Besar's Conquest of Hell

It was warm. At once it was both bright, and dark. A flaming forest. A ice covered land. A boiling volcano. Demons and devils alike.   I was born of this, my horns sprouted at seven years old. My infernal red skin. My devil black hair. I was born of this. A plane said to be impossible to reach as a mortal, here I am. Even Heriot said it could not be done. Heriot said it could not be done. Heriot, was wrong.   Battle is like dance. Grace and swiftness, deftness, that will always win. My magic may help sear their flesh, but my fighting, my style, my dueling, that I learned the hard way.   Killing is not special for me. I offer an embrace, and most find a way to accept it.   These creatures, these devils and these demons, they know this is it, no other plane to travel to, here, this was their last moment, and the fear of a devil is a high bar to pass.   I worked my way up, and soon built an armor and soon the Ninth, and the frozen Eighth circles were mine, a loyal army of Devils at my side.   The seventh circle was abandonment. The ruins of industry. Huddled masses of demons and devils alike, wishing for more, yearning for it. They joined me, and the sixth circle, though chaotic, gave way, and we marched on.   The hells imbued me with the magic of my forefathers. My horns grew, my spirit darkened. My ruthless knew no bounds. My ethics ended, my morals eroded.     We swam through the fifth circle and let the frozen sea know we had what it took. Ice and famine devils and demons joined me. My army now dwarfing all the others, here in hell, but also above. Zerekoa will face a reckoning and Heriot will....   Heriot is the God of Death...   Heriot is to be the God of Death.   I could be the God of Death.     The Forth hell was fire and brimstone and torture. But I am Besar Katu, I am the bringer of the Embrace and soon their lords will bend the knee, and I will stand as their king.   From there it was easy, Three Two One. They all fell, and I stood as King of the Nine Hells. High Priest of the Cult of the Embrace...   No, I will be the God of Death.
