Athena's connection To The Old Ones
the minutes turned to hours, and then she finally woke up. The Hell beast family were stopping. This segment of hell was a place she had never seen before.
It was not cold but had a pungent smell about it. All around, she could see abandoned equipment, there were also some hell beasts that were attached to this equipment, seemingly in boundage as there was no one to free them of their predicament.
Athena had become stronger now, and her connection to the rest of the world had also improved of course, it was not at a cosmic level like those that had reached the Deep demon realm and above but at a more precise personal level, of constant exchange and understanding of energy with the outside world.
She could tell at one glance that these Hell beasts had been trapped within these giant chains that held their necks and limbs for hundreds of years, some of them for even thousands of years.
