Love in Hell

The Heart of Confusion. Not much is known about this precious object. Supposedly, this Heart is located in the lowest level of Hell.

Quest

For some reason, Ashlea Richards, the brave ninja, wants to find this Heart and use it to its

full extent, whatever it is that the Heart of Confusion does.

Quest

Ashlea must bribe Charon, the ferryman, to give her a ride over the River Styx, a

treacherous body of water made entirely of the souls of the dead.

The River Styx

Ashlea must gain entrance to Hell through it’s enormous bloodstained gates.

The Gates of Hell

Ashlea must defeat the great hellhound, Cerberus, who blocks her path to the Heart.

Cerberus

Ashlea meets with Catie Burns, a ninja that died on a previous mission. Catie tells Ashlea that she is going to need much more training if she is to defeat the guardian of the Heart.

Hero

Ashlea asks who or what the guardian of the Heart is. Catie answers, but Ashlea doesn’t like what she hears. It is none other than Lilith, the

mother of all serpents and arachnids.

Hero

Ashlea must pass five mathematical tests, as mathematics is the most hellish thing ever

thought of. She must pass these tests so she can get information on where exactly the Heart is.

Test

Ashlea enters Lilith’s chamber, the Heart only meters away. The queen of spiders praises Ashlea for her determination to get as

far as she did, but warns her that her journey is at an end. Ashlea speaks no words as she approaches Lilith, the demon’s six arms

reaching for the six blades attached to her side.

Guardian

Ashlea and Lilith clash, sparks flying, flames burning. Lilith swings her great swords, forged from the skulls of all who

failed to defeat the demon, but Ashlea deftly dodges it. Every hit that Ashlea manages to land on the guardian

doesn’t seem to affect her at all.

The Final Test

Finally, Lilith catches Ashlea off guard and deals a fatal blow. Our hero, Ashlea Richards,

has been added to Lilith’s blades of skulls.
