Gehinnom proper

Esau exited the cavern, wary of other demons. He gasped at what he saw. He truly was in hell.

It was hard to describe, since Gehinnom was not meant for mortal eyes to see. He saw a vast landscape, with hills and mountains that floated, and were folded through themselves. Rings of fire spun endlessly, and in those rings were more rings, and in those rings more rings, and so on and so on. The colour of the sky, if you could even call it a sky, was hard to pinpoint. Esau reckoned the closest colour was bashful red, although it's not dissimilar to a lustfull sepia or pusylanimous green. Strange demons flew in the air, some Esau recognised from his studies, and some that up to this point have been unseen, and will most likely never be seen again. The majority of them hung around a great keep in the distance like a thundercloud. The keep towered impossibly high, and was hard to look at. It shimmered with magic and perhaps power beyond magic. Esau somehow knew that this keep was his goal.

While the far away landscape seemed unnatural to Esau, the area he was in was more grounded in his own world, though still off in that 'two unidentical identical twins' sort of way. The dirt was a deep red, and blackened trees, which were more like dead husks than the verdant greenery of his world, grew from out of the ground. Large rocks were scattered around, and some occasionally moved on their own, dragging themselves up a hill, only managing to climb halfway before tumbling back down. Then they would try again. It was rather sisyphusian, and quite strange to watch.

Esau made his way down a path that led from the cavern entrance, but was soon stopped by a loud cawing from above. A dreadful beast descended and landed in front of him. Esau recognised the demon from the Kabbalah; it was a A'arab Zaraq, or at least something similar to it. The demon's form was of a woman with a crow's head. She had talons for hands and feet, and on her back protruded two feathered wings, black as midnight. She was naked, with two large breasts hanging limp, and a hairy, loose cunt between her legs. Her eyes were pitch black, and Esau felt uncomfortable with them staring at him.

She stood there, blocking his path, her head twitching erratically like a bird would do when observing something. Esau never liked fighting, but he was willing to if this demon didn't let him pass.
