Chapter 3 - Act 3: Hell

As Lee woke up from his unconsciousness, he found himself being dragged along a cold hard stone floor by cultists clad in black clothing and robes.

Around him were pillars carved in intricate patterns resembling the hieroglyphs from ancient texts.

The patterns looked as though it told stories of the old god and how A-Ji came to the Earth and a secret relation to Ra, the Egyptian god of the sun.

The patterns also told how the old god fed on human ignorance and strengthened itself with human arrogance, each day the old god grew stronger and bigger until pyramids could no longer hold it which then the A-Ji, the old god's servant traveled the globe and created the city in the sky, Chu-Hättöth.

Finally, the cultists stopped in front of a golden gate that had rusty spots in some parts, in the middle was the face of a bat with disgusting tentacles sprouting from its ears, teeth similar to a hippopotamus' teeth and crimson stained eyes.

Lee Halloway trembled, feeling disgusted and terrified of what was to come of him once those gates have been opened.

The gate creaked, slowly and ominously, revealing an empty chamber, the chamber was as humongous as the size of a church in the middle ages, wide and great, however empty, the chamber was colored plain white with no other designing and marvelous structure embedded on the walls nor the floor and ceiling.

There, the cultists laid Lee on the ground, stabbing his wrists on the ground with the spears they held.

Lee screamed in anguish, his voice echoing the pain he felt.

Suddenly, his blood that flowed continuously from his stabbed wrists started to color the entire chamber scarlet, and the floor slowly collapsed, leaving four platforms, one where Lee laid, one where the cultists stood, knees bent as they worshipped something, one platform was a wide circular platform that could carry a giant squid to it and lastly, one platform where the exit stood wide open.

While Lee laid on the cold, bloodied floor rethinking his life thoroughly, wondering if he should have not meddled with his uncle's work, had he not bothered to care about his uncle and the bas-relief, would he have lived? As he laid there cursing himself, he heard moaning of either pleasure or agony.

Slowly, stems and vines emerged from the collapsed floor, dragging something upwards.

The "thing" turned out to be his long lost mother and Leah Polà laying on a bed of vines and stems, birthing the offspring of the old god that looked similar to the one in the gate, a bat like creature with tentacles sprouting from the ears, hippopotamus teeth and crimson stained eyes emerged from the vagina of the women.

Lee's eyes widened in terror, seeing as his mother turned out to be another of the victims of the old god and met a fate worse than death.

Leah Polà also was one, she also gave birth to the brethren of the old god, suffering from the pain of losing her sanity and dignity as a human.
