Thanks for putting up with me. Enjoy! A Pandora box Twist


The Punishment:
2- The Crystal Box

"Who the frack are you?" Otouto ask the creature as he looks at it up and down.
"Introductions are not important, but from the moment you've entered my domains
I've became your master", the creature said "I'll be the one who decides your
punishment according to your crimes. Depending of what you've have done, that's
how your punishment will be...Dog".

"Stop calling..." Otouto was cut short of his rant as the creature turns his back to him.
"Follow me, dog, you got work to do". The creature signals the once demon to follow
him and oddly enough, Otouto obeys him. Then, the creature opens his wings and takes
off to the sky above the startled man.

"Hey! Wait a sec, in case you haven't notice I CAN'T FLY", the dark man shouts, "You
appear to be forgotten that I'm human now!"

"I'll fly, you walk. Follow me". With this, Otouto notice that the creature flies over the
high cliffs. "And how am i supposed to get up there?" Otouto ask the creature.
"Climb up. Follow me. Now" the creature said.

Taking a deep breath Otouto begins to climb the slimy walls of the cliffs; soon bruises
and blood are visible in his hands as he focus on not to fall back all the way down.
"We're almost there. Climb...dog" the creature tells him flapping his wings behind him.

After a tiresome two hours that seem forever, both man and creature reaches the top
of the cliffs. From there Otouto can view the horrifying scene that's settling bellow:
thousands of demon being brutalized by their punishers; burned, drown, flesh being torn
off their bodies. There's no doubt this was hell.

He also notices that there're more high mountains in the distance from their spot they
were standing. Then, the creature points to a clearing where a large fancy crystal box
covered with a silky white blanket with golden ropes lay.

"What's that?" Otouto asks a little odd to find something so nice at a place like this.
"You're punishment" the creature answers.

"That's it. THAT'S my punishment!!??", he asks incredulously. "No. You'll have to
push this box over that mountain and protect it with your existence without opening
the box".

"So, what's inside?" the now man asks still puzzled about his weird sentence.
"Nothing. But if you open it, you'll be sorry" the creature warns before flying off.

Otouto had been left alone to carry the strange task to one of the highest
mountains of limbo. Scratching his head in odd, he approaches this 'thing' wondering
how in hell is he going to push it up hill. After circling a couple of times the box, he
removes his coat and toss it over the box and attempt to move it. Not to his surprise
the box is heavier than anything he ever carried before, and now that he was human,
the more difficult this task was going to be.

He then sees that one end of the rope appears to be lose from the fancy blanket and
decides to tie it around the box to his waist, thinking that pulling it was going to be
easier than pushing whatever the cargo was inside. It works.

Walking through some swampy boneyard he notices that there's something strange
about the cold material the box was made of. He's getting tired. He's no longer the
invincible demon that he once was. He now feels... like a dog.
The box was so heavy the he HAD to take a break to rest, and the freaking mountain
was still so far away. He stops and lean against the cold crystal feeling a little ease as
the coldness touches all the right spots where it hurts. Even with the now usual screams
of terror in the background, Otouto dozes off.
