In Literature Class we had an assignment to write your own Divine Comedy as a group, here's my part as Dante and Vigil desend into the last part of Treachery:
Excerpt from Inferno Maximus:
As we reached the center of the ring, I saw, in its center, a massive stone statue, its hand outreached towards the heavens above. Its name was Lucifer, and his face bore that of anger and anguish, his wings stretched out as if about to take flight against God yet again, yet trapped by the very Earth he sought to rule. From his outstretched hand, hang five damned souls. Souls sold to the very Lucifer who hangs them so.
At the thumb and the end finger, hanging from strings and knives piercing their bodies, is Cassius and Brutus. Their treachery against God began when they sold their souls to kill the mighty Julius Caesar, who stood in the way of their own personal gain. Now they hang from Lucifer by the very knives they used to kill.
From the Ring finger, bound by paper and ink hangs Clark Aldusi, Shadow Architect of the Shadow Enforcers. Hiding behind the laws he sought so hard to uphold, he killed thousands of the innocent in a plan to gain ultimate power. Piercing his body and pouring out black blood are pages of his dear laws, the very laws he used to betray its protected.
At the Index finger, hanging from a cross, sits Karl Abinszur, the Heretic Shaman. By his hands, he murdered millions for his own cause of personal gain, including the Emperors son, Caligula Vadamus VI, who he brutally dismembered and shot in the head and chest. From his actions, he now lays without limbs, nailed to his cross by his head and chest, crying out and cursing against God.
Now at the Middle finger, hanging from a rope of fire, is Judas Iscariot, betrayer of Christ. The eternal flame of death surrounds his neck, his ever-constant struggles making it tighter and tighter around him. His wounds spit blood of fire, burning into his flesh the mark of Lucifer, making him curse against God for damning him so.
