Rescuing John - Inside Nergal's Lair-John/Gen/Bryn
The Demon crumpled and roared in agony, realising like the other Demon, he too had met his demise. There was no coming back, no regenerating. He was gone. And with that, his body vanished. The whip clattered to the floor and an eery silence followed.
John tried to look around the room, his vision foggy, his head swimming. He hated that they had come for him. Deep down inside, he knew he could have gotten out of his situation but a part of him had chosen to stay. He had been punishing himself for everything he had done. All the lives he had ruined. In his mind, he deserved everything he got. He hated that he had let so many into his life, people that seemed to trust him and care about him.
Outside the door, things were quieter than they were before. The sound of fighting could still be heard a little further away but the worst of it outside the door was over. At least, John hoped it was.
