[ WP ] Each planet has a Heaven and Hell . You just died on Mars .

`` AAAHHGHHHhhhh???'' 
 
 Wait, I was just burning a second ago, and my Reentry Pod was at too steep an angle and about to smash into the red dust below... 
 
 Where am I? 
 
 
 Its really dark, and cold. The wind, oh it's so loud... It sounds like the howling of a deranged beast 
 
 `` Welcome.'' 
 
 `` Oh what the fuc-'' I spun around and met eye to... eyes? Of a, oh that is most certainly not a man, um, a thing? It's small beady pebble like eyes shined in this all consuming darkness... From what light source I do not know... 
 
 `` Umm, Thanks? Wait, uh, who are you?'' 
 
 I could n't see his mouth, but his voice was eerily clear 
 
 `` You may call me Mazith, and I am the gate keeper. It appears you are not fully aware of your... condition'' 
 
 `` My condition??? What are you taking about? I seem fin- AHH'' 
 
 As I looked down at my hands, I only saw many cracks, and embers... flowing? Underneath what had been my skin... 
 
 As I stared at the glowing lines and sparks, the... Mazith? Walked forward, we lowered his gaze, to my chest. 
 
 `` Hmm, you do not appear to be from this world. Are you perhaps from Terra?'' 
 
 I looked up at him, he appeared bigger somehow, not only taller, but larger. Terra? Old latin classes long forgotten flashed back for a glimpse of the answer. 
 
 `` Uh, Terra... Do you mean Earth? Yeah, I do come from Earth, I was traveling to Mars as a part of a research expedition, then the Hydrazine cells overheated and exploded, then- **Stab** URKk *cough*'' 
 
 I looked down, and gazed at the spike driven through my chest, it looked like a scorpion tail, a giant one 
 
 `` Terrian, you have made a foolish choice to come to Mars.'' 
 
 As I gasped, and tugged at the tail, I felt the ground open up beneath me 
 
 `` Wait, what, why?'' 
 
 The creature that now towered over me, face unchanging, glared down into my eyes 
 
 `` You have trespassed on holy ground, and must now be cast into the darkness, may the gods pardon your soul.'' 
 
 With those last few words I felt a jolt as the tail flicked me downwards, and then I felt nothing but the wind wrap around me, with the same howl as earlier, the seemingly never ending abyss below.
