The Road to Hell

He had wandered the vast expanse for what seemed like months. It couldn't have been more than a few days, but Tero felt so weak he didn't care.

His horse had died, saving him.
His friend had died, joining him.
His wife had died, loving him.
But his work would be rewarded, and they would all be back.

He had already destroyed every shrine, absorbed every bit of darkness, and as he entered the temple again he felt his legs buckling and his vision blurring. Tero knew his death was coming fast, and hoped that Satan would keep his promises.
