Erex walked along the halls casually. He let his arms hang at his side and was casually poking his head in the occasional door that came along.

"Hello? Anybody home?" He said as he popped his head into another door.

When nobody responded, he closed the door and kept on walking. His sword was attached to his back. Erex could barely feel it there, his armor was very strong. There was just one small problem. Under all the metal and cloth, it was hotter than hell.

"Come on, where is this dickless wonder. I need to find him so I can kill him and get all this crap off." Erex mumbled, readjusting his arms to try and get some air flow.

Erex kept walking along the halls, bored out of his mind. He swung his sword from side to side, making large marks on the walls. On a few occasions, he carved his name into the walls.

"That'll teach him to hide from me."

After about the third time of defacing the walls, Erex heard the click of high heels on the stone floors. He turned to see a woman walk out of the darkness. Her hair was white, the whites of her eyes were black and her pupils were red. She wore a skimpy grey dress. Her skin was dark grey and her breasts were huge. She wore a devilishly seductive look on her face.

"Well hello there, it looks like I finally found a living creature here." Erex said.

"Good for me too, I was lonely and looking for a playmate when I came across you." She said. Her voice was a sweet as honey.

"Well, um, I might be right for the job." Erex said awkwardly as she walked right up to him.

"You seem like it. Strong, big sword, not bad looking. I think you would be the perfect husband." She said.

"Um, what?" Erex said, concern creeping up inside him.

"There is just one small problem. My daddy won't let me marry anyone, especially the horseman." She added.

Erex eyes shot open wide and he looked straight down at her.

"Who is your father?"

"He is the man that built this place, Vulgrim." She answered.

Erex quickly took one step back and took a look around. He had seen this in movies before. Guy hits on daughter, guy ends up dead when the father finds out.

"But, I guess if you were able to beat him, things might be different." The girl said, keeping just as close to him.

"What is your name?" Erex asked, still trying to step back.

"Ariel, and yours, horseman?" Ariel replied.

"Um, Erex."

"Good, I'm going to take you to my father. Maybe this can all be surpassed and we can have a good life together." Ariel said, grabbing Erex by the hand and dragging him after her.

Ariel dragged Erex along an endless hallway, which ended at a dead end. She promptly turned around and began to lead him back, but this time taking a left at the intersection of four different halls instead of a left.

"You know where you're going, right?" Erex asked after an hour.

"Of course I do! I live here!" She said, annoyed.

"Really, cause we passed what looked like the throne room like six times already." Erex said, beginning to think this bubbly ditz was just wasting his time.

"I know! I just wanted to have some more time with you just incase my dad turned you into a bloody grease stain on the floor." She said, probably even more annoyed.

"Um, okay then. I'm just going to head along then." Erex said, pulling away from the girl and walking along back towards the throne room.

Erex could hear her behind him, hyperly keeping up with him in her high heels. After another twenty minutes of walking they finally made it.

Instead of doing the nice thing to his now possible girlfriends father and politely knocking on the door, Erex did the thing that seemed more sensible to him, and kicked the door down with all his might.

"Ah, there you are, Horseman. I knew you would be along soon." Vulgrim said in his snake like tone.

"Yes, I would have come earlier, but your daughter decided to give me the grand tour of this place. Did you know there is over 600 doors in this place?" Erex asked, ready to get the violent murder started.

"My daughter? What have you done with her!" Vulgrim replied, rage rising in his tone.

"Whoa, calm down buddy, she's fine." Erex assured him.

"Hi, Daddy." Erex heard Ariel say behind him.

"She, she is perfectly fine." Erex said

"Yes father, and I plan to marry him!" Ariel spoke excitedly.

"WHAT!?" Vulgrim almost screamed.

"Here we go." Erex said, pulling out his sword.

"That is it, Horseman. You have angered me to know end. Today you shall die-" Vulgrim said but was cut off.

Erex had taken the time to rush forward and thrust his blade with all his might. Vulgrim just had enough time to evade the attack. Vulgrim leapt to the side, his demon form like all the others except thinner and quicker.

"You move well." Erex said, his sword embedded in Vulgrim's throne.

"My speed has brought me great fortune. It has kept me alive in the worst of times." Vulgrim replied.

"It may not be good enough, because I plan on hacking your head off and keeping it as a trophy." Erex said, pulling his sword free.

"Yes, my love! Fight and beat him!" Ariel said with her same hyper tone.

Erex groaned, knowing that she was going to be an obstinate distraction. Vulgrim was now barreling at him, rage still in his heart. Erex ducked as Vulgrim swiped his demon claws at him and brought his sword in an upward swing. Vulgrim got clipped on the side by the attack.

For some odd reason, Erex thought this fight was going a little too easy. Vulgrim was taking damage left and right. Then he realised why. His daughter was distracting him. Erex began to see this all and formed a plan. Vulgrim was using mostly magic, firing balls of fire and beams of energy as attacks. All he had to do was redirect one in Ariel's direction and that would allow him to execute a killing blow.

Finally the time had come. Vulgrim fired a blast of energy at him, which Erex deflected with ease. The blast went sailing straight at Ariel.

A scream could barely be heard over the explosion. Vulgrim's eyes quickly darted to the right, looking at the smoldering hole his daughter was in.

"ARIEL!" He screamed, rushing to her side.

Erex quickly took a break and began walking over to him. Vulgrim was holding his daughter's limp body in his arms.

"Ariel, Ariel baby please stay with me, please don't die, don't die." Vulgrim said, tears forming in his eyes.

Ariel took one small glance up at her father, then stopped breathing. She was dead. Vulgrim began to sob with sorrow. Erex had raised his sword, ready to end this, when Vulgrim spoke.

"Horseman, I know that I was too weak to win this battle, but I fought to win only because of my daughter. Now that she is gone, I no longer have a reason for living. Please kill me. I want to be with her." Vulgrim said.

Erex looked down, pity and pain seeping into his soul. He closed his eyes and brought the sword down on Vulgrim's neck. Erex could not make himself look. All he heard was metal cutting skin and a large thud. Erex quickly put his sword back on his back and did not open his eyes till he walked out of the throne room. He had to find Alex.
