Horror's POV hours later

"Gaah!"Dream yells

THUD! SLAM!

"Where am I? What do you want?"Dream snaps

"Master demands your company. And we all must obey or face his wrath. Next destination is the Gluttony Ring so sit tight and get comfy."A voice says

I take in his appearance and frown, seeing scars and bruises on his bones.

"What are you doing in the Envy Ring?"I ask as the carriage takes off again

"Horror! What are you doing here?"He asks

"You didn't answer my question."I say

"I just woke up there...They say my life was plagued with it...And they're right."He says

"You were envious of others? But you're living positivity."I say, tilting my head in confusion

"Yea...I mean as much as I try to make others happier, they often miss the good that they have right in front of them. Or they don't appreciate it and I screw it up...Few have stayed around me for more than just the positivity that I give them. And when it comes to finding personal happiness, I screw that up the most one way or another. So yea, I hate it but I have been envious of many of the people that I've met since they have so much good in their lives overlooked for minor flaws that I'd give anything to have. Sometimes I wish that I could have simple lives like them..."He explains

Oooh...

Then he smiles.

"It's alright though, I have accepted this and have been working on it. Now what are you doing here?"He asks me

"I woke up in a bright fluffy place...Too bright. They called it the Temperance Zone for my skill of self-restraint and keeping myself from gluttony or taking too much food for the sake of others...I know Killer got taken and didn't see him up there so I came here to find him...He shouldn't have gotten taken instead of me...I escaped or at least thought I did to MaMare before I passed out and woke up here...He allowed me to get away...I owe him..."I explain to him

"So that was a virtuous land you were sent to...interesting.."He says

"Yeah, I was wandering around when I got thrown in here as it zips off to grab you."I say as the carriage slows to a stop.

Then the door opens and Killer is thrown inside. I feel a smile grow on my face.

"Killer!"I exclaim, pulling him into a hug

"Horror? What are you doing here? I gave you time and orders to get home!"He snaps

"I did get home but passed out! I am so glad that you're okay!"I say

"Wait, why are you glowing?"He asks

"He came from above, Killer."Dream says

"Oooh, wait. Where are we getting taken?"He asks

"Off to the Lust Ring next. It will take time to get through the Greed Ring so we're in for a ride."I say

The next while is filled with complete silence.

"What do you think happened to the other two?"Killer asks

"Other two? What do you mean?"Dream asks

"Farm, Blue, and Classic also got caught. But they got taken to another room than where I was with Error and Lust to be experimented on. Wait, what are you doing here?"Killer responds

"Perl tried to get to Error and summoned a weird portal. His brother went through it without hesitation and I went after him but got sent to the Envy ring and turned into this instead."He says

Killer snaps his fingers, summoning Dream's soul. He glances to me and does the same but nothing appears.

"Okay so our souls are locked and yours is still free, Dream. Good for you."He sighs

"Wait, so does this mean that PAPS could be lost here?"I ask

"....Shit."Killer says

Then the carriage comes to a stop. I glance out, seeing the Greed Ring with bright green skies and rivers of gold coins. Why are we here? The door swings open and I see a figure wrapped in a light green cloak and hidden under a hood get tossed inside. A familiar scent of crops and the farm fills my nose. I grin, grabbing our new guest off of the floor. I adjust the hood, seeing the familiar face of my beloved Farmer.

"Horror?"He says softly, looking shocked to see me

His soul is missing as well. Yet he seems to glow despite this. I see a label sewn into the design on the inside of his cloak, reading GENOROSITY SECTOR.

So he ended up above instead...I was just in the wrong area...

He hugs me closer and I hold him closer.

"So what were you doing in the Greed Ring?"I ask

"The what?"He asks

"You were in the Greed Ring of this hell."Killer says, then jolts as the road becomes bumpy quickly.

"I don't know...I was searching for you but had no clue where to start. Are you alright, Killer?"He asks

Killer nods.

After a few minutes of a bumpy ride, the carriage screeches to a halt.

"Hey you! Our master wants some fun with you so get in!"A voice snaps

"Can I bring these two along, darling?"Lust's voice calmly responds

"Sure, whatever. Just get in. We're running late."The voice says

Lust and two hooded figures climb in.  This figure wears light blue embroided with the design of a butterfly in a human soul for patience while the other wears a dark blue jacket and hood. On a sleeve it reads Humility with Kindness on the other with two wings tear through the back of the jacket, folded neatly against their back. Both of them shine, clearly from above like Farmer and I.

"Thanks, Lust. We might have gotten lost searching if left here!"Blue's familiar voice says, lowering the hood of the jacket.

"No problem, darlings. Just repay the favor and help me with that freak when we get to the destination."Lust says

"Okay, we'll try."Classic says from underneath the light blue hood

Lust sits beside Dream with the other two sitting on the floor of the carriage.

"Welp, Dust and Fell are probably pissed right now."Killer chuckles

Classic and Blue glance up as if just realizing we are here as well. They look at each of us and Blue sighs with relief while Classic frowns, seeming to be deep in thought.

"Okay, what could this leader of theirs need or want with this many people? And specifically us? Cuz I doubt it is coincedence that we get rounded up like this."He says

"Good point."Killer says

"Whatever it is, it better not be trouble."Lust says with a roll of his eyes

We sit quietly for the rest of the ride, seeming nervous and curious to see where this goes. I see the skies darken as we enter the Wrath Ring and then see two large gates shut behind the carriage as it pulls up to a huge building with a large staircase. Two tall, muscular demons have us climb out and then take the empty carriage around to the back. I glance around, seeing someone gazing in from the other side of the gate. Before I could figure out what I am seeing or who could be there, Farmer grabs my hand as the door opens and tugs my hand as we get lead inside by a formally dressed demon. We climb winding staircases, down the twists and turns of hallways until we reach a single room. The demon pauses to check their watch and sighs with a relief.

"Five minutes away from facing his wrath..."They say, then open the door.

We enter curiously, seeing only a room of mirrors with a large chair turned away from us. I see a tail sticking out from the chair, swaying as the door shuts. It is long, skinny, and has stripes of black and blue until the very tip where a burst of red comes in.

"ThEy diD wElL wItH tHe tAsK."A familiar voice says

The chair turns around, revealing Error with a proud smirk on his face.

"HeLlO, aNd wElCoMe t0 tHe sAfE pLaCe. AnYtHiNg i c0uLd gEt yOu? F0oD? MeDicAl AtTeNtiOn?"He asks

I smile at him, squeezing Farmer's hand.

Yes...Safe for now. Thank you, Error....
