Fiction:Inferno

"The skies of red, the ground charred and desert; even the air itself strangles you and stings your lungs. You hope for a breeze; the breeze scorches you to a crisp. The afterlife here is NOT pleasant."

- Unknown



Hell (Ayrai-Shikua: Nexûs'shifûn - The Land of Death and Flame) also known as the Inferno Realm is a place of mortal punishment and torture, and also the residence of the Ayrai-Shikua, a.k.a the Xhodocto. It lies in the central strings of Chaos.

= 9 Circles of Hell =

1: Limbo


Limbo (Ayrai-Shikua:Anûan'ma'dûnmai - First Destination) is a gateway to Hell. It is a place for mortals which have not followed or accepted Kamik'Shi. Even those who were virtuous in life are still sent here as they were not given the initiation to be a part of the Xhodocto Religion.

A part of the Krashikua Tome that describes Limbo:

"The first place of mortals' afterlife is forgiving enough for them not to recieve punishment from us. However, they recieve punishment from their own lamentation from their separation from life. They and all others have one chance to live once more: accept Kamik-Shi into their life."

From the quote, Limbo has no punishment for mortals. In the picture above lies the Second Circle of Hell's gate. It is a massive door constructed by Xhodocto.

2: Lust
The Second Circle of Hell (Ayrai-Shikua:Nexûs Onû'a Shikû'anû - The Place of Corrupt Life) is the first location of hell. This circle is for those who let their desires make their purposes. This is the first location of torture in hell where the torture here is isolation. The dead here who want all are locked away for an eternity without anything, or a desire that is just out of reach.

A part of the Krashikua Tome that describes Lust:

"The second location of hell is for those who did not want Kamik-Shi but wanted everything 'else'. The only way that they can learn the error of their ways is through the method of nothingness. The lustful want everything, so they shall have nothing."

3: Gluttony
The Third Circle of Hell (Ayrai-Shikua: Momûneta Shikû'anûan - Place of Nothingness) is where the punishment is starvation.

A part of the Krashikua Tome that describes Gluttony:

"Gluttony is a place for the over-needy to receive nothing. Those who have nothing have recieved hell. It is time for the gluttons to recieve hell themselves."

4: Avarice
The Fourth Circle of Hell (Ayrai-Shikua: -Unknown) is where the greedy and miserly are punished. Their punishment is loss of everything, or the incapability to grasp anything desirable.

A part of the Krashikua Tome that describes Avarice:

"The need of need itself is an act that insults those who cannot have. They shall have the experience of incapability to have what they want. For those who cannot have shall be rewarded. Those who have and want more shall never have."

5: Wrathful and Sullenness
The Fifth Circle of Hell (Ayria-Shikua: -Unknown) is where the wrathful (angry) fight for their freedom. The sullen, however are tied on cliff edges watching the fight which goes on forever.

A part of the Krashikua Tome that describes Wrathfullness and Sulleness:

"The wrathful in life are ones who want their own power to influence the world. This is our duty. One who takes this duty into their own hands shall be cast into hell forever. The sullen are vengeful in hell. They shall reap no reward."

6: Heresy
The Sixth Circle of Hell (Ayrai-Shikua: Vanû'anûan Shikû'an - The True Meaning of the Corrupt's Afterlife) is the first location of Hell that is within the Necropolis (Dead City). The heretics of Kamik-Shi are tortured here forever.

A part of the Krashikua Tome that describes Heresy:

"Those who do not believe in Kamik-Shi and do wrong in his name do not deserve to live. It is our duty to cast heretics into hell for them to learn the true meaning of punishment."

7: Violence
The Seventh Circle of Hell (Ayrai-Shikua: -Unknown) is divided into three levels, separating:


 * First Level: The Violent against people and animals. The punishment here is that the dead are thrown to hell's beasts.


 * Second Level: The Suicidal. The punishment here is the incapability to commit suicide or even communicate with anyone.


 * Third Level: Blasphemers. The punishment here is that the dead are cast into an eternal nightmare.

A part of the Krashikua Tome that describes Violence:

''"Involuntary violence is a crime against nature. The only punishment for the violent is unnatural methods. They should suffer what they have induced upon the unfortunate."'

8: Treachery
The Eighth Circle of Hell (Ayrai-Shikua: -Unknown) is the location of hell for the mortals who decieved others.

The Eighth Cirlce is divided into 9 Rings which separate:


 * Ring 1: Persuaders. The punishment in this Ring is torture.


 * Ring 2: Simonists (those who pay for a holy blessing). The punishment here is eternal nightmares.


 * Ring 3: False prophets. The punishment is eternal sacrifice.


 * Ring 4: Corrupt leaders. The punishment is that no being will listen.


 * Ring 5: Hypocrites. The punishment here is torture.


 * Ring 6: Thieves. The punishment here is incapability to pick up anything and the incapability to move.


 * Ring 7: Fraudulent Advisors. The punishment here is being hanged upside down above a pit of hungry demons.


 * Ring 8: Creators of Chaos. The punishment here is immense torture by demons.


 * Ring 9: Falsifiers. The punishment here is incapability to communicate.

A part of the Krashikua Tome that describes Treachery:

"Treachery is a small form of blasphemy but a huge form of deceptive Avarice. What these mortals deserve is what they have induced upon others, to learn what they have lived."

9: Treason
The Ninth Circle of Hell (Ayrai-Shikua: -Unknown) is the deepest pit of hell. Here lie 4 Rings which contain:


 * Ring 1: Traitors to blood relatives. The punishment here is immense nightmares.


 * Ring 2: Traitros to cities. The punishment is eternal imprisonment.


 * Ring 3: Traitors to guests. The punishment is the incapability to communicate.


 * Ring 4: Traitor to one's master. The punishment is eternal nightmares.

A part of the Krashikua Tome that describes Treason:

"Mortals that decieve their own blood relatives shall suffer worse than their intentions. One who decieves their own county deserves what they suffered in life. Ove who decieves their friends shall never speak again. One who decieves their master...is one who shall not be followed, but the fires of hell will follow them forever."

Souls
Souls are, in fact, consciousness, mixed with Essence. When a being dies, its consciousness travels to one of two realms; Heaven or Hell. This depends on the state of the consciousness; guilt and lies will reflect badly on it, and thus the consciousness goes to hell, as it no longer has anywhere to reside. The consciousness will create its own illusion; the body it last resided in. This means that all its pain will be suffered normally, but isn't actual body pain. Also, the consciousness cannot escape, as once it does, it no longer exists.
