Seven Sisters Tower Challenge: Chay

A red desolate landscape, adorned by a large citadel in the middle of a boiling lake, the lake populated by reptillian horrors, the citadel by far worse. Within at the very top, sitting upon a lonely throne is a man whose only companions are the monsters he himself created with his sorcery.

    A red goblin scampers into the throne room carrying a scroll, "master," hisses the artificial creature, "this was delivered for you."

  The armor clad sorcerer king looks up confused, as he stretches out his hand and takes the scroll from his creation/minion.

  He opens it, reading; [This day a sorceress, an adventurer, will come to challenge you and your tower.]

  He looks at his trembling minion, "Who delivered this? How did they deliver this?"

  "A voice master,", "a thing I do not know how to describe master, put letter in our hands outside front door."

  "Go! Take alert everything in the citadel! I will not be insulted by..."

  *rumble*: the entire citadel shakes, the light outside the windows turns an un-natural red. As the sorcerer king approaches the window a massive black chain suddenly wraps over the window.

  "All seeing eye, beast in the sky show me my citadel." he commands, as a bird like thing outside passes over head, showing him the scene.

  A massive red sigil has appeared below his citadel, the beasts in the lake cannot break it, even attempting to destroys them in red electric lights. Giant black chains erupt from the sigil wrapping around his palace.

  "Ma..." his minion bursts into incredibly hot flames, reduced to ash in mere seconds before it can fully speak.

  The sorcerer king hears a woman whispering...from a thousand, thousand places as red lines race through every crack and mortar his citadel, coming from red energy blowing from the chains like burning winds.

  "How..." says the sorcerer king, "How is this possible! There is no magic like this! No magic is this strong!"

 He is knocked off his feet as his entire castle falls...or rather is dragged full and intact into the sigil, his contact with the bird like creature broken in the process. The chains vanish as the portal closes behind the palace, he is free to look out the window, impossible standing at a tilt on the floor as the (thing) outside is apparently upright. The massive red-dress clad bosom of a woman, above which he sees a beautiful face looking down at him; although the eyes are like solid red glowing gems he can feel they are looking directly at him. Her head is adorned with a pair of forward curved and flat blade like, yet bone like, light brown horns, like a crown. What he at first mistakes for waves of fire behind her, he realizes is her red hair, awash in rolling flames making her hair dance.

  "No," whispers the sorcerer king, an image coming back to him, he KNOWS this figure, from paintings, from drawings, from the esoteric writings of his own master and the cult of Sin, "Hell..."

  "Yes," speaks the giantess, "you are in Hell...sorcerer..."

  His body is wracked in pain as a red glow comes over him, he watches as his hands turn younger, he can feel it, his body becoming as it was in his twenties, his mind however grows sharper than it had ever been, his eyes, his strength, beyond anything he ever felt before.

  "You are mine," says the goddess of Hell, "always were, my worshipper, you are now more than human, you are now Aesperian, your mind, your senses, your body, your magic, far more potential than you ever had before..."

  "Am...I immortal," whispers the sorcerer king.

  "No," says the goddess of Hell, "you will die, you can still die, your soul will be mine forever regardless of your work on Homnes. I will put you and your citadel back, your creatures however...are gone...do better now..."

  "The sorceress," he says as he starts to feel his citadel rise, as it is face level with the goddess, "Great Goddess of Hell, mighty Chaykonaka, thank you, with this power I will conquer in your name, that adventurer...that sorceress coming to challenge me, no matter what magic she used to get that challenge past my wards, I shall defeat her in your name and..."

  The Goddess of Hell is laughing, it is only slight, and very un-nerving, especially given her previous steely gaze and tone.

  He turns pale as the portal opens and his citadel returns to its normal position, the realization, the Goddess of Hell...is the sorceress...is...a...sorceress...

  As the red light fades he looks through the eyes of his last remaining creation, the bird like creature seeing his now magically reinforced citadel. He sits upon his lonely throne, "The Goddess...the Hellfire Guild...we...they...worship her...she...founded them...immortality...biomancy...a sorceress that strong...no...ascended...a Goddess now, such power..."

  He looks at his hand and smiles as he effortlessly summons a fire ball, "So...ascension eh...let's get started."

  *elsewhere*

  "I am surprised you didn't just destroy his citadel and kill him,"

  "I am not like my sisters, I do not waste an oppertunity for a proper beach head, I should thank you for reminding me I had established a proper following upon Homnes."

"Well then, I am surprised you didn't turn him into a woman or something,"

"My tastes are different than those of my sisters; besides that man is but a tool for my use. He thinks himself capable of my power, realizing like so few thanks to your letter that I am a sorceress, when he has fulfilled his purpose, I will claim his soul"

  Standing upon a stone barely big enough for her feet the massive form of the nebular cherry dressed Chaykonaka stands in a universe of flames and chaos, sorrounded by worlds, a cube planet of torture, a pyramid planet of sand, a pine cone/cigar looking world of hellish layers with one end looking like a facimily of an Earthly environment, and many more....she stands at the center, and yet she stands outside of this place, her creation, the Sorceress of Sin....the Goddess of Hell.
