Bab 125: I Could Stay

JAMES

The plan, it turned out, was for me to sneak into Hell, with some dude named Heimdall’s help, and follow Horonius-the-dog through the scariest place I could imagine. Find Desi - hopefully in the place Horonius thought she was - release her from her prison, or whatever, and hightail it on out of there.

Without getting caught.

Or killed.

Or worse.

I didn’t know there could be a worse, but according to li’Morl there was. Something about soul eaters and complete and utter destruction of your eternal soul. I figured it was better not to think about it.

Miri had pretty much not stopped crying since li’Morl and Horonius left. She tried to convince them to stay, but li’Morl insisted we have some time alone before…well, before I went to Hell and maybe never came back.
