12 Information along the way

As we walk along the path, hauling the purple demon in the caravan I notice the trees having a more reddish tint o them rather than just being charred black. As we get closer and closer to the capital the redder the trees become. We started seeing more demons flying about but unlike the purple demon they were more tame and less hostile.

I turn to Guider and before I could say anything "its different from what you imagined yes?" he interrupted. "yeah..they say this is somewhere agony and fear is spread, where people are tortured by demons till their souls break." I reply. "well ever since Narrator, Searcher, Mapper and I, Guider took control over this 'Earths' system a lot has changed. We established the capital so that souls who've been sent here can rehabilitate, we can send them off with no worries to heaven or back to earth after wiping them of course" Guider answered lengthy. "oh? so where do you reckon we'll find them?" i asked. Guider stayed quiet as we walked along the path.

"Guider? I thought you were gonna answer my questions?" I asked out of concern. "well yes and no, I will answer your every question but not about your family that's Searcher's job" he answered. "oh? okay then..so how does this hell work?" I asked as we were getting closer to what seemed to be the capital. "well for one it has its own hierarchy low class demons to high class demons then elite class to count class. Each district has at least one duke class who answers the king which would be Narrator. There are in total of 5 districts thus 5 dukes. The currency is your basic old age system with some shops dealing with the barter system." he answers.

"wait why only demons? where are the humans?" I asked tilting my head in confusion. Then realized "oh..well then..what class would that make me?". "I honesty thought you knew you were a demon guess not..well as for what class you are I wouldn't know, I'd put you at knight class I guess but we do have a testing system for new demons" he answered. "some rogue demons such as the one you just killed can get a good price and maybe get you a regular house.".

We stop in front of a huge gate. It was a draw bridge of sorts with a river of lava flowing by in the moat? or is it just a river of lava as I looked around and didn't see it flow around the capital. after Guider shows an ID for the both of us given by Narrator. After we entered we went to the district square to wait for Searcher.
