## SUMMARY

Azreal's Story

* (Sin City Style intro)
* (Azreal lands on earth)
* (Azreal takes up the flaming Sword)
* (Azreal meets the Horseman of War)
* (Azreal meets the Crusaders, Strikes down Cooper, Kills War)
* (Azreal kills Ink, fights John Doe, and realizes the consequence of moral absolutism)
* 'A Forbidden Alliance, Forged In Sand' : After spending many days walking nonstop from Boston to Nevada, a now-questioning-his-purpose Azreal walks upon bloody soles through the desert, heading for Las Vegas to raze it to the ground. Upon his walk however, he finds a lone jeep with a mysterious humming of Mike Oldfield's "Nuclear". When he reaches it, he comes face to face with The Judge, whom lays there relaxing, knowing that Azreal would come. Seeing the sheer volume of sin caked in the creatures fur, Azreal tries to strike him down with holy flame, but learns that The Judge is even more powerful. The Judge makes him an offer to show him to the actual Gateway To Hell, in return for Azreal doing whatever he must when he arrives. Azreal begrudgingly agrees.
* 'A Family Vacation' : With the help of a dangerous and mysterious entity known only as The Judge, Azreal finally finds the location to the physical Gateway To Hell: underneath Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida.
* 'The Red Dusk Of Hell' : After he finally enters Hell, Azreals true mission begins as he starts laying waste to the entire population of damned souls within Hell. It is a violent and horrific bloodbath from this one-man-army. 7% of the total population of Hell (which measures up to about 3.5% of every soul to have ever die since the dawn of time, AKA, multiple billions of people) has their souls completely eviscerated in the course of a single afternoon. It only ends when Ezekiel Morningstar (at the highest-end of Eldritch power), Azazel (at the peak of accepting his power and rage gifted from his father), and Death himself (whom has never had to show power before) strike all at once to merely pin him down, and capture him.
* (Azreal takes his penance and is banished to Purgatory to fade into nothing over the rest of Eternity. But within it, he finds his love, barely holding on as she waits for him. They fade into the nothingness, together)

## TROPES

* A Form You Are Comfortable With: It is heavily theorized that the Jacob that appears in Hell harassing Ezekiel isn’t entirely Jacobs damned soul, but is actually just a form undertaken by the last remaining essence of Lucius, now deceased, and that Jacobs true soul is actually in Purgatory because he did technically kill himself, and he technically did live a “Conflicted Life”.
