How it all works

"CINDY!!!????" Max cried out as they both fell to the floor. She shushed him up and they both got back up "I missed you soo much.." "I missed you too!" Max started tearing up as he hugged his sister "Don't ever leave my side again..." "I wont...never again" They both looked at each other for a minute before a tall man walked over to them. "Ah, Ms. Cinderbolt it's so lovely to see you." Alfred hummed cheerfully, Max didn't say much until Cindy spoke "Hello Alfred-" "You know Alfred?!" Cindy looked just as shocked as he did. The tall man led the two to his seat as they calmed down.

Max looked at Cindy for a little while. Her hair was the same as he remembered, straight and short. Her red eyes glistened like rubies on display, her darker skin contrasting his lighter complexion. Her horns curled back in 3 loops and her ears were catlike and fuzzed over. Her dark wings were folded in with the larger feathers softly tipped with light gray. Her tail swayed on the floor almost like a mop. Cindy questioned tilting her head slightly noticing his staring. "Oops sorry… I just missed you..." he said looking back at Alfred, Cindy holding him close.

"Sir I've been meaning to ask you some questions about this place, I'm sure Max wants to ask the same thing." Max nodded softly. "So you're a demon, and probably studies right?" Cindy asked the tall man. "Yes, I have" Alfred replied sitting up pushing his file to his side. "So tell us about Hell, why are we here? How does this all work? How do we get out?!" Max questions pouring out like a waterfall. He wiped his tears as Cindy put her palm on his. "I will explain but..you better listen ok?" They both nodded as he started.

"To start off hell is near the core of the world and protected by a magic field by Lucifer himself. Hell was designed to replicate the world above, so it's always evolving. We have our own day and night cycle using magically reinforced glass and lava. We were able to make our own agriculture system and are making our own scientific breakthroughs. We've come up with governments like a monarchy, and even our own social worker system for newcomers."

"Onto the people, There are two kinds of demons, purebloods, and the fallen. You two are fallen since you came here, I'm a pureblood because I was born here from the original descendants. A fallen's children will also be befallen as well. You can tell the difference by their wings, horns, and other features. Pureblooded demons have dragon-like or bat-like wings. Pureblooded demons wings are normally red or dark orange, with hints of yellow. Some purebloods have black wings also, but it's rare. Fallen have decayed feather wings, being a grey, black, or brown. Horns differ between straight and curved. Pureblood demons have straight horns and will grow longer with age, gaining a ring every 10 years. Fallen have curly horns, those do not grow and are determined by how long it takes you to die. If my memory is correct it should be a ring every 15 minutes."

"Last for today is on Lucifer himself, he is a God but he doesn't hide like other gods. He's fairly open with his people and you might be able to see him walk around. To give you a little description, he's a pureblood, black wings, and has lived for probably 500~ years. 8ft with glowing yellow eyes, he's not a bad guy in fact he's really nice. He does all things governmental, signing papers, making laws, that kind of stuff. Of course, he is known for making deals with people, but he only really makes deals with demons since he doesn't travel to the human realm that often. But just cause you can make deals with him doesn't mean you should."

Alfred opened his eyes to see the small boy, head in his sister's neck asleep. Cindy patted his face and he got up. "Mmm...Wha?..." Max murmured. "You fell asleep on us." she sighed but they all giggled a little. They got up and looked back at Alfred. "I think its time to go back home." Alfred said, he got up and the small ones followed "I believe it is" Cindy responded. They all started walking out of the library and onto the busy streets.

Alfred looked at both of them "How about you two catch up on a few things?"
