*~*Lex's POV*~*
Hell. That's what I used to think this place was. A true hell just as the humans described it. Pain, suffering, and torture was all I knew of this place. And the vast difference between this place and the mortal realm only served to intensify those thoughts and feelings.
Now, however, I saw this place in a different light. Since coming back here with Talia and seeing the difference that leadership has on the people who live somewhere, I now understand that Hell was just a state of mind. A sense of the inner turmoil that had always roiled and boiled inside me.
Peace reigned now. Who would have thought that was possible. Peace in the underworld where the dead came when they left the mortal realm. A land once so feared by nearly everyone, including demons, was now filled with smiles, laughter, and joy. And all it took was a change of management. Damn, but Talia is mind-blowingly fantastic.
