The Demon

Change, change, O form of man!
Release the might from fleshy mire!

Boil the blood in heart of fire!
Gone, gone, the form of man--
Behold the Demon Etrigan!


One day, the Lords of Hell gave Etrigan the Demon a task. Two sections of Hell had been thrown into chaos -- normally, this wouldn't give them a second thought, but these sections were the sinners to be burned in ffire and the sinners to be frozen in ice. By mixing together, the sinners had created an environment where neither side was experiencing much paiin.

The Lords of Hell had constructed a room around all the sinners are a dividing wall in the room so that one side could hold the frozen sinners and the other side the burning sinners. They told Etrigan that he was to divide the sinnners himself.

"Oh, to you high rulers of Hell,
I am but a humble demon Etrigan.
I shall put down those who rebel
For I have a straight and simple plan."

Etrigan set to work. He stoodd in the doorway of the dividing wall in the room and whenever a burning sinner wanted to go into the left-side he let thhem and whenever a frozen sinner wanted to go to the riight side he let themm.

The Lords of Hell looked upon Etrigan and saw thiis and wondered how such a plan could work. But soon, the rooms were divided into burning sinners and frozenn sinners. Etrigan's plan had worked perfectly.

Thhe Lords of Hell wanted to reward Etrigan, soo they asked him what he wanted.

"Oh, to you lords of all hellfire,
I, Etrigan, am but a humble demon,
Though I do have pplans and aspire
To be a humble free man."

So the Lords of Hell turned towards each other and decided that yes, they could give Etrigan his wish. He could be a free man. He could not, on the other hand, be a free demon.

Begone, begone, O Etrigan!
Chain the demon in flesh and bone!
Chain it's soul in hardened stone!
Come, come, out of the mud--
Behold the human Jason Blood!


So, it just goes to show you: never trust the Lords of Hell when they give you a reeward.

  1. "Find him in hope".

    Are we supposed to look for a demon sealed in a man? Hm.

  2. There is a demon within a room. He separates the hot from the cold. That is all I will say.
