They found a passage and followed it.Off in the distance could be seen a flickering dim amber glow.
John was thinking "Hell" in rising sense of
anticipation whilst Aaron was approaching "Hell' with a
awakening dread.
What neither seemed to notice was that Aaron had somehow
missed noticing that she wore a small chain necklace with the
Cross on it.
As the two got closer to the distance amber light of what actually
was the fires from Hell,Hell began to work its effects as best it could on the two of them.
In the case of Aaron that was a a sort of reverse transformation
as the Cross began to glow and its wearer began to transform
into the human boy he'd been before the Book from Hell had clawed him here.
In the case of John she was not a Believer,and had no Cross
or other Holy Relic to protect her from the changes Hell was working on her the closer she got to Hell.
Her eyes glowed even more fiercely red and flickers of amber
sparks mixed in with the red as she drew closer.
She began to grow in size and become more primeval,feral
primitive looking as Hell remade her,
Beside the emerging feralized demon-dragoness a now
nearly human Aaron never noticed the changing John
because the Cross was protecting him from Hellspawn
which certainly was what the huge feral dragoness beside him
was turning into.
Finally the giant Hellspawn that went by the name of John
and the human boy Believer named Aaron
arrived at the Gates of Hell.
And that when Aaron turned around to face the huge gnarly
dragoness,his Cross blazing its Light into the suddenly shocked amber
eyes of a fully transformed Hellspawn.
John bellowed in rage and shock as she flung a forelimb claw
to protect herself from the Cross.
Demon-Dragoness instincts seized her hind legs and she
leapt,roaring and snarling in pain and fury
through the Gates of Hell into Hell itself.
Aaron on the other hand spun around and ran back to
where he'd come from until suddenly he was back
in the dorm room.
His roommate John certainly wasn't there anymore
but the Book from Hell was.
And its open page Aaron watched in horror at a illustration
of the monsters in a scene from Hell.
As he stared at the medieval woodcut a new figure appeared
a huge demon-dragoness slithering beside one of the
Pits of Hell,on her back nestled between her wings a
load of pitchforks for a newly arrived crew of demons.
