Piasa are creepy as fuck. We had one in our zoo, but it had escaped and has been roaming Hell for centuries. They are extremely hard to catch. They are also known in parts of the world for devouring men.
“It will be fun,” Gareth says excitedly.
“This is going to take forever. Do you know where it could be?” I ask my brothers.
“The last known location was on the fourth level of Hell. In the Terror Mountains,” Jasper says.
I let out a sigh. Of course it was spotted there. It’s a bunch of rock.
“Let’s go do this then,” I tell them.
We grab our weapons and any armour we need.
Catching mythical beasts isn’t always easy. Some can be caught, but it takes a lot of work and, sometimes, magic. Trying to catch one in Hell also adds an extra layer of unpredictability. Who knows what will happen on our hunt.
There are many beings who try to battle us when we go out. None are strong enough on their own, but add a few together and it starts to become a harder battle.
We make our way down to level four. There is an ocean of lava with flames resting on each side like sand would at a beach. The mountains are in the back, and it will take a day to walk there.
During the day’s journey, we come across a few vampires who think they can take us on. There must be about twenty of them, and they try to come at us from different angles; however, it was pretty simple to beat them and continue on with our journey. We ended up with a few scratches, but nothing serious.
This has been a lot of fun and relaxing for everyone. We had been so busy working, finding out who was attacking us, tracking demons who have escaped up top, and protecting my bride that we haven’t gotten to be brothers just causing chaos in a long time.
“We can find a place to rest for a few hours,” Jasper says.
Honestly, I’m shocked it took him this long. Being Sloth, he isn’t very energetic.
“We will make camp for the night. We have another day of travel, and then we should be where the beast is,” Lorenzo states.
“Thank fuck,” Leopold says with a sigh and drops to the ground.
“Didn’t want to be the first one out?’ Otis asks with a laugh.
“I didn’t think Jasper would last this long. I didn’t want to be finished before him,” he says with a sigh.
I chuckle at my brothers. Fuck, I miss Serenity like crazy already. How am I going to survive two more days without her?
“You look like a lovesick fool,” Gareth says loudly, causing all my brothers to look my way.
“You will be too once you get your bride, I mutter.
“I can’t wait to get my bride,” Gareth says before laying down on the ground and stretching out.
“That’s probably why you won’t be next,” Fredrick says.
“I think it has to be Leopold or Lorenzo. They both are very reluctant on getting a bride, but dad gets this smile on his face every time they voice that,” Otis suggests.
“You are probably right,” I say with a smirk.
“It’s not that I don’t want one, I just don’t know how one would mesh with my personality,” Leopold says.
“Dad and Lilith had picked them for us. They will be our opposites, but help us grow. I think they are supposed to add to our lives and make us more powerful in a way,” Jasper says.
“Well, we already have one that chases us around the palace with knives, so we don’t need anymore of those,” Fredrick states.
“I’m sure they will all be crazy in some way,” Gareth says.
I chuckle and nod my head.
