They took me back to the place i first woke up on. I didn't understand a thing. Hell? Miracle? Of course, the chances were big, but why me? I sat down on the bed to think. Before it went 2 minutes, i was sleeping.
Later, i woke of by the rythmical walk of an elum. I looked around, and saw that i was in the middle of nothing, riding on a elum with Orion. Of course, i was tied up. Orion looked back on me and growled.
"So.. Now you wake up? I was thinking on throwing you off and ride away, but it seems like it is to late..."
I sat up.
"Are you pissed on me or something?"
Orion looked up in the dark sky.
"Well, duh."
"Why?"
I saw his anger. He would have jumped of and snapped my neck if it wasnt for Tzekhels order.
"Beacuse of you i have to go back to hell. I thought i didn't have to pay another visit there."
I mumbled something and looked around.
"What is hell anyway?" i asked after a moment. Orion pointed at something black in the horizon. It looked like a city.
"A city? Is a little city the source to your fear?"
"Hate! I fear nothing or no one, beacuse i understand what i see, and that wich i understand is none of my fears. But hate.. You can hate anything..."
"So you f.. sorry, hate that town?"
"Yes, Gold. Say nothing more now... I'm tired of talking.
We rode in the sand for a long long time. I was grateful, beacuse if Orion *hated* that place, then it would be a reason for me to fear it. I half wished to see why i was going there, and half wished we would never arrive. It felt like a eternity of walking, leaving me alone with my thoughts. My own thoughts almost drove me mad. After a few hours of walking, i know that it was hours, i looked on the sun, Orion jumped off the elum. He cut off the ropes and pulled me off. Then he sat up again.
"Now you just go towards the town. Try to be smart, and don't piss the guards off. Good luck, you will need it.." he said and made the elum turn around and run away. I stood for a while, whatching him disappear. Then i turned around and walked.
When i reached the gate into the town, i was filled with a strange feeling wich i have never felt before. I couldn't tell you what it was, it was like nothing i have seen before. A giant slig approached and looked at me.
"Passport?" he grumbled.
"N-no thank you.." i said and he laughed.
"Krix? Did you hear that?"
"No." i heard someone answer. "What did he say?"
"Small one said 'No thank you'!" the slig repeated and they both laughed for a while.
"Move yer butt out here, Krix." the first slig said. Another slig came and looked at me. Then he gasped and pulled the other one away. They both stood for a moment, talking. The first one of them seemed surprised over something. They walked away and opened to doors.
"You may enter, boss." Krix said. Doubtfully i walked in and looked around. It was huge. Whoa.
