"Eyy? Where'd the others go?" Malachi looked around the moment his feet touched ground.
He had suddenly found himself within an underground cavern.
Dull brown moss covered walls on all sides.
He had just stepped through the gates. Excited about getting into another competition with Dante.
The last time Dante had embarrassed him hard enough to hide his face, but now…
Step.
Step.
Step.
"The noise came from behind the path. Let's see who it is." The sound of footsteps and voices from behind stopped his thoughts cold as he turned around.
The moment he did. He came in contact with his first abyss walkers.
The moment his eyes landed on them, a grin split his face as he tossed aside every thought of Dante and the others.
"Kekekekekekekeke… yes. This is how a king should be welcomed."
"Who are you?" The newly arrived individuals asked.
Their postures were relaxed, almost as if they couldn't be bothered to raise their guards.
