Meanwhile, in Hell...

"Lif. Come. I have a job for you." Hel demanded, sitting atop her bone throne. Lif approached and bowed his head.

"Yes, Queen Hel?" He stiffly asked. However, on the inside, he thought that was his chance to finally be useful to Queen Hel and to finally have fun with it like Thrasir and Surtr did.

He was wrong.

"Lif. My daughter has wandered off again. I tell you, that girl is troubling me recently. Talking about how human life is sacred, and how what I'm doing is wrong...Nevermind that anyway. Lif. I want you to find my daughter a personal guard. Someone who can really protect her- and keep a watchful eye on her. Thrasir and Surtr have too much to do with the troops and such."

"Well, Queen Hel," he stuttered, shocked, "why don't I be Eir's bodyguard?"

"You must have misheard me, Lif. I said someone who can really protect her. That is not you. You have much weapon polishing to do for the troops. Find me a guard and bring them to me. I will evaluate them, and once I've determined that the result is good, I'll promote you to foot soldier. How about that?" Hel asked.

"It's all I've ever dreamed of! Finally fighting for you and proving my allegiance, and not just because you're limited on troops and I'm all you could send!" Lif muttered dreamily before snapping back to attention. "Consider it all but done, Queen Hel! Promise!" With that, Lif bowed again and exited.

"Well, I won't be seeing him for another few months." Hel sighed.

Viper finally exited the chamber she had dragged Strucker to, looking refreshed. She almost seemed to radiate an aura of death. Wonder why that was. Maybe Zemo should ask.

Camilla and Aversa approach Azula. "Hey there!" Camilla greets with a wave and smile, leading to her just barely dodging Azula's immediate flame pillar response. "Huh. The nerve. We just wanted to ask you if- whoa!" Camilla ducked underneath another fire blast.

"Here, let me try, dear." Aversa shouted to Camilla over all the fire. "Dear, we noticed your killing potential and- hey!" Aversa barely dodged Azula's lightning as she spoke. "We'd like to know if you'd like to travel with us!" Aversa yelled to Azula, thinking she might be hard of hearing.

"Definite no." Azula growled in response as her next assault of blue flame danced around the two other ladies, even above them to the point where they couldn't fly away on their mounts. Azula spoke through the fire softly, as if she could control how loud it was. "Now then, which one of you is to die first?" She whispered as the flames, though still very present, seemed to quiet at the sound of her voice.

"Uh, excuse me? I'd like to know if one of you ladies would be interested in guarding the princess of the dead?" Lif shouted as he stumbled onto the scene. All three women looked at him for a second, a bit confused, before Azula fired a small lightning bolt at the ground in front of him, which sent him yelping off in fear into a purple portal he probably came out of. Azula returned her attention to Camilla and Aversa, but the two had actually gotten away while she was distracted. Azula looked up at them flying away and was overflowed with a feeling of nostalgia.

The need for the hunt returned to her in that moment.

Viper could stick her offer up her ass. She relished the hunt much more. So she left, off in search of the two ladies who had desperately escaped her.
