Hyun Yi Na wakes up, and found herself laying on a bed, she figured that she must have fallen asleep. She had a weird dream, or at least a terrible nightmare that she has been dragged into hell by weird and horrid creatures. She then realized that she wasn't in her hotel room, rather a red room where she is on a bed with black silk sheets. Yi Na, jumps from the unfamiliar bed, and she stares at a wide balcony, taking in the view of something unreal. It is like she is inside of a gigantic cave with Lava can be seen in the distant, and winged creatures flying around. The structures are sinister and demonic from what she could see, and it brings her dread. Where is she? How did she get here?
 
Back in her room the double doors open and a huge creature comes in. tall and broad shouldered and it's shadow covered her like the shade of a tree it had ashen skin and nails like claws. It's face was hidden behind an iron mask, which itself was an impression of some horrific beast, even that might have been better than what was hidden underneath. "Lord Quan Chi wishes to see you." it said in a low rumbling voice that sounded less human and more monstrous. It tiny burning eyes were focused on her, and their was the sense that whatever gentleness it had would fade with the slightest sign of resistance or hesitation her her part. It followed behind her with hits heavy foot fall and escorted her through the back obsidian halls to a large room like a banquet hall. At one end stood a man with white skin covered in tattoos in front of a fire place so large it more closely resembled a door.
"Please my dear, come in." He said, his commanding voice echoing through the hall.
 
Yi Na turn to the large door, and a large creature in a mask who towers over her with ease. She couldn't believe this, as she stares with disbelief that something like this exist. The creature would tear her in two if it wanted to, and is too frighten to even speak when it told her to move along. She was frozen in place, but it nudged her for her to finally move. This is a twisted version of a castle, or so it seems. Soon, she comes right into a large room, and a pale man and tattoos is talking to her. "...is this...a nightmare or hell?"
 
"I suppose you could call it hell." The man by the fire turned around and cast his serious gaze upon you. He smiled and tried to look friendly but their was something not quite right about it, even if it had a note of sincerity. "Please, sit down, and welcome to my home. I trust you slept well." he approached the table and sat in the chair across from hers. "I apologize if my Oni are a little blunt, they are not sued to guests of your nature."
 
Yi Na face went pale, if that's the case then is she dead? She doesn't remember how that would be possible, what did she do in life to have her soup damned in a place like this? This person might explain that to her, but he makes her skin crawl. She sits down at the table, still unsure of her situation. "....I have so many questions, but the first...are you the devil?" That would be something it that was true.
 
He bwgan to chuckle. "No of course not. I got rid of that old fool a long time ago." The devil. That was something he hadnt heard in quite a while. Then again, he had not gone to the trouble of bringing such a person to his realm before. Warriors he had use for, but normally such a woman as this would be useless. Accept maybe as some pretty bobble to hang around, if he had ever cared for such things. No, he had very diffrent plans for her. Servants, slave woman once of Outworld came and presebted plates to them and began to deal out servings of meet and somekind of purple root vegitable. "I hope my realm is not too shock."
 
Yi Na didn't expect the answer, but she didn't expected to be dragged into what she believes is Hell. "So if you are not the devil, then who are you?" She asked him. That is when servants came in to serve strange looking food. She is afraid to eat it, since she doesn't know if she should. "But...what have I done? I-I am sure that I haven't been a sinful person..."
 
He chuckled again. "You're not dead my dear you have just been removed from Earthrealm to hear by me. You see you have a very special power that I want to help you bring out. You are in no danger here I can promise you. In fact, as ling as you are here you will be treated very well. You may even like it more than you know. Is something wrong with the food?"
 
She isn't dead? That is a relief, but this guy pulled her into wherever this place is, because she have some power. "I don't understand, what power?" She asked him,this must be some kind of mistake. She is just an idol, nothing more. "Um...nothing's wrong.."
 
"That's what we will discover together my dear. With that power, and my knowledge you can gain everything you could ever have desired as well." He promised her. "So, what do you say?"
 
Yi Na doesn't know what to say about this, does she really expect to follow along with this nonsense. This already hates this place, it is making her sick from just being inside of this room. "I cant...I don't want to stay here. I just want to go back home." She said, pretty firm on her decision.
 
"He frowned, that's a very firm decision to make when you have only been here a moment. Why don't you give it a day and see if you change your mind?" he suggested, though given her surroundings ''suggestion'' was probably a strong word.
 
She tensed when he said that, it looks like she has no choice in the matter. "Uh...I guess..." Yi Na can feel the dread welling inside of her, how could she change her mind? "Maybe a bit longer." The idol said, trying to hide the nervousness that she is feeling, and once again looking at her plate.
 
"Good, after dinner you can take a tour of the palace perhaps." He lifted a small piece of the meat brought it them to his mouth and began to masticate as he watched her expectantly. How do you like the flesh? The creature it comes from was rather difficult to capture, but I thought it only appropriate for your welcoming meal."
 
Yi Na looked rather nervous about eating this strange meat, afraid that she might become sick and die. Maybe eating a little bit would not be bad, as she takes a small bite of it. She couldn't exactly place the taste, but its almost like lamb, she had it only once and didn't really care for it. "Its...not bad." That was a lie, but at least she didn't feel like she was going to die.
 
"Perhaps something else would suit your tastes better." he said, and there was nothing in his voice that might cause her worry, but a glint in his eyes that told her he was becoming increasingly annoyed by her response to her situation so far. "We have many things to offer, some fruit perhaps, or fish. I'm sure whatever suits your pallet it can be produced."
 
So far, everything is normal for the most part, she hasn't felt sick from eating. Yi Na thinks that she might be okay if she ate anything but the meat, eating hell creatures doesn't seem appetizing. "Actually, I think I am full. I wasn't really that hungry. " She already taken a few bite, but she really wasn't that hungry when she woke into this new world.
 
"Then I shall have a servant show you around my humble home." He said in the same smooth voice that always carried some small note of menace to it. A woman stepped forward, one with ashin skin and a plain, if elegant grey dress who wore a ornate porcine mask. It bore the service cracks of age and had a delicate latices work of dull steel across it, studded with small white jewels. The eyes were black and drawn out stylistically. The lips were in the perfect, ideal form and painted in a bright red. It was beautiful, but also striking and had a coldness, a lifelessness to it. The woman raised a delicate hand and gestured to a side door and then began to walk for her to follow. "She will take you wherever you wish to go in this place." Said quan chi, just before the door closed behind you.
 
Whoa, did I miss something here? Where did Shinnok come from?

Yi Na finally has a chance to get away from this weird looking host, and she stands up and darts to the side door. "Uhh...thank you, I'll just go now." She said quickly as she left the dining hall. That was a relief, she felt that things are getting tense. "I have to get out of here..." SHe said to herself, then turns to the maid and has an idea. "Um...I don't suppose that you know where the gate back to Earth is...right?"
 
(Sorry that was a name mix up. I meant Quan Chi.)
The maid looked back at Yi Na and slowly shook her head. She would not speak a word but continued to lead her throuh the palace. Parts of it were beautiful. Parts of it were terrifying. Eventually she brought her back to her chamber and although she was alone inside. Outside her guide waited to prevent any escape.
 
Yi Na is taken back to her room, and she became frustrated and scared. She leans on the door, creaking it open to see that there is a guard there. How could she get away? She is completely trapped here unless she could find a way. "How would I get out of here?" She asked herself. But she looks out the balcony, even if she did escape, where could she run to?
 
Before her was a wasteland of ashfields, blackened forests, ebony mountains and lava flows, the only source of light and heat in this blighted land. Below her, near one of the walls though something was happening. Four men were dashing across the gad and disappearing behind the wall to the castle. Then there was an explosion of red light and energy that tore open that piece of wall and sent out masonry that nearly struck her as the four made their break inside and alarms were raised. He door was flung open and the masked woman inside was suddenly behind her. Taking her wrist in a firm, almost painful, grip she started to drag her along.
 
Yi Na kept staring out of the barren land of despair and misery, but that's when something happened that he did not expect. She saw something explode, and ducks when flying rocks from the wall nearly hit her. She screamed, but that's when the maid grabbed her really hard, and is dragged. "O-Ow, w-what is happening? Let me go!"
 
"Shut up or I'll knock you out." Said the woman sharply in the first indication she could even speak. She started to drag Yi-Na through the corridors of the building, past screaming oni and fierce look wraiths. Until finally she stopped in front of a tapestry, and then pulled her behind it, there was a sliding door on the other side that she pushed out of the way, and then closed behind them, they were in complete darkness in the dark and surprisingly cold corridor, until the came out into the hot air and orange light of the hellish land outside of the castle compound.
 
She winced as such harsh words, but the grip is still there, causing a painful mark on her arms. Yi Na has no idea what is happening, or where she is taking her, and the passing demons are on high alert. Behind the tapestry, there was a secret door that leads to the nightmare that is outside. She is already feeling the heat and misery, as she is trying to shield her eyes from the unforgiving light.
