SODOM
Adonis was rightfully overwhelmed already. Could you blame him for it really, everything didn't seem to just make sense around him. One moment you're in front of a city gate admiring the architecture next moment you're cursed by a god after you're standing in middle of an orgy. A horrid one for that matter, he slowly stepped away the space seemed to enclose on him, trying to suffocate him. The feeling was all in his head, he knew. No name to call it but that's what pressure does to him.
The perfect astral painting with the sacred pale gem that anointed it now a malefic oddity, that shifted between what was real to what was drawn. The ohhh so sacred moon was a macabre of bloody delight, bringing blessing of red. The image below him to his left was one he wanted to unregister from his head. The gnawing was still loud, the little girl, playing and running around with her friends was in dismembered state, with the same friends eating from her flesh with vivacious hunger. Adonis looked towards the blighted scene, in a state of deep confusion and fear, as one of the boys, with a piece of her thighs in his hand, looked up, smiling with pieces of flesh in his teeth and blood dripping from his mouth. He stretched out his hand like he was offering sustainance to Adonis, offering her spleen to him. The picture paired with the innocent look on his face, like a child without sin, like how he was before. He saw more wretched scenes, all happening around him, a couple engaged in heavy copulation. So erotic and intense, the way her waist matched his, the way her breast jingled with every movement, in fact her whole body felt it.
So erotic...
So sensual...
Well if you ignore the fact they are tearing pieces of flesh from each other. The more you see the act, the more it seems to be happening all around you.
One to two, two to one, young to old, old to young, atrocities everywhere.
Thievery, lies, adultery, fighting, hoarding, rape, murder. Be your brothers keeper bullshit was in the mud, they either wanted to eat the brother or fuck 'em.
The name city of sin seems empt..
A place of grandiose sordidity...
And above everything, above Adonis revulsion, above the perfect act to blight his soul, nothing has ever made Adonis feel more at home. Adonis has never felt more at peace, at the same time there was still a candlelight of revulsion in his soul as if it counted as anything.
Fear was the only thing his soul anchored too. Fear was the only thing he knew now.
Fear broke him.
Yet...
Fear was his comfort.
Fear was really all he knew.
Fear made him.
Zero and the unknown observer watched as a maniac smile appeared on their clays face. They weren't taken back by the outcome, everything was exactly as it was written. But in the glee there was still suffocating feeling.
The irony of the word-"As it is written".
The suffocating feeling of destiny, nothing changed yet. As surprising as the nexus was, it was written, already pre-planned, already divined..
Still the growing smile on the fool's face, gave them a little consolation.
The end was already written, it was already revealed in the last page, but one thing was certain, regardless of how long, he was going to show them hell. Zero walked towards the smiling fool, wondering if the fool had genitalia at this instance he would have probably peed on himself.
"You thought the city of sin was an Arabian dream. Then again the other names where land of bane and city of debauchery." He rubbed his beardless chin, with a smile he thought of as relaxing.
"City of dusk might have been the only chill alteration now I think of it." He cheerily asked at loud to the open, like there was an invisible person floating above him. It was enough to finally pull Adonis from being zoned out, he looked at Zero and wondered if by a chance he was crazy too.
'You know what he does look the part." He reasoned. Adonis used the time out of the trance to properly take in what was happening in the city.
Sodom was incredibly massive, none of the earlier judgement did it justice, and that's was still what his eyes could see. He stretched his vision towards the horizon below the mountain, but the city didn't seem to end. Adonis in his mind blamed the lighting and then his eyes.
His eyes, he couldn't properly denote what changed.
Why you might ask?
One moment everything is normal, now is looked like a horror play. Well his normal was an overplay anyways. He knew his eyes had more uses....or curses, he couldn't just tell what. Adonis dropped the thought and looked back at Zero.
Zero the inviolable God..
'Pathetic'
"Already got your fire back I see, plus aren't we twinies, thinking the same thing."
Adonis kept frowning at Zero.
"Awww don't tell me your still mad I cursed you. Was it disappointing? Should I have made it worse, hahhhaaaha." He mocked.
Adonis ignored him, turning to what was behind Zero, the blood pool under the arch and another normal city gate....
Side-by-side.
He saw two divinely handsome men entering from the normal looking city gate.
What truly caught his attention was a their pure white clothing and too perfect look. I wondered whether Aphrodite was storing her bastard demi-gods here. Especially since it sort of fitted her style in the entirety. Clothed in wool white gown that reached their heels,marred in consecrated shiny golden sigils, skin white as milk, feet that seemed untouched by the sand.
Adonis suddenly felt Zero presence hovering by his side.
"Tchhh golden-haired bastards, bunch of zesty motherfuckers."
Adonis wondered what kind of crazy patron, Zero was. Barely talk, then talk, then smiled, then mocked, then blamed, then showed what a god's anger was, then gave his divine judgment and now is somehow in the mood to gossip.
'Absolutely impossible'
"Hey Addy don't you think they pull off the the blue eyes more than you."
'Addy??' If didn't take Adonis back, he didn't know what else would.
Now Adonis did think about it, the glowing baby blue look did look more better than his earlier neon blue. Then their height, the one on the left was around Zero's height while the shorty on the left was still about 6'7, still very much taller than him. Adonis felt their imbalance with Sodom, like the place was trying to swallow them. The more his observed the more he noticed how controlled they looked, he suddenly started seeing a hallow area in their chest with an eye staring directly at him. Adonis felt his eyes ting again like earlier, lights flooded his eyes again, only more intense than before. So much his soul eye was burning up, tears flooded his eyes. Adonis felt like his eyes were being melted with molten fire.

The bright red words appeared within his field of vision.
"What in Hades name is this.."
He couldn't think straight at all especially with the pulsing headache and his eyes.
