Pulled into the Netherworld
Ashton had been traveling for months, cleansing demon-infested locations. He had already cleansed four of the five locations on his list: the Abyssal Caverns, Ruins of Ashenfort, Blood Marsh, and Tower of Despair. Now, he was in the midst of purging the last location, the Temple of Nightmares.
The temple was filled with dark and twisted creatures that twisted his mind and tried to lure him into its depths. But Ashton's will and experience as a mage prepared him for these horrors, and he pressed on undaunted.
He had encountered a group of demons that had possessed a group of feys in this place, twisting them into nightmarish puppets. But he managed to free them from their torment and sent them on their way to safety.
He had also faced a giant, shadowy monster that had attacked him from the shadows, but he defeated it using his magic and quick reflexes.
