First Path: Egor

Kael sat still on the chair, his eyes still closed. He had underestimated this being in hell. He was only lucky the card game was just a trial, or he'd have lost the opportunity to return to Earth. To Jacquelyn.

"If I'd known you'd lose this way, I would have made this the only game," the Devil smiled. "It was nice playing the Game of Truth with you," he gloated, now returning to his blinding light form.

Kael finally opened his eyes and smiled. "Must have played the game for so long, finally a worthy opponent," he remarked, standing properly at his full height. He pushed the chair back, and at the same time, it vanished.

"Care to tell me how you do it?"

The Devil hummed. "Well... let's say everyone has a tell, Kael. You only have to dig deep enough."

Kael repeated the words in his mind and nodded. "I'm guessing this is the beginning of my seven paths in hell?"
