Slightly Damned something! Wait, what?

And now we flash back to...yesterday! (Epic, isn't it?)
Iratu is apparently on his way home when Sakido emerges from the shadows to talk to him. She asks why he came here, pointing out that they don't have anything Iratu wants.
Iratu just chuckles, while Sakido notes how bad his breath is. Really, after the "Bloody Mary" bit, would you expect anything else?
Iratu then reveals he did it to say goodbye. He produces a small piece of paper, claiming that he is headed off to bigger and better things, and the paper proves it. Sakido is visibly surprised.
Page 42:
And now, with no resolution to that flashback, we now return you to the effects of gravity on demons and Jakkai.
Apparently, it makes Jakkai like Rhea scream crazily while they fall, while in Buwaro's case it makes him merely note how high up they are. Oh, and he realizes that isn't a good thing.
Le sigh...
Anyway, Sakido swoops down and catches them at the last second. Saved! Buwaro insists on a group hug, much to Sakido's annoyance.
Page 43:
While Buwaro hugs Thadius, Rhea is stunned to find out that Sakido wants the two of them to go deeper into Hell.
Wait, what?
Apparently she didn't get a good enough look at Iratu's little paper, so now she wants Rhea to play Baggins-style burglar and burgle it.
Claiming that it is punishment for the destruction of her bonsai, she immediately kicks them off the plateau.
"Grab a ledge! Grab a ledge!!"
Here we go again...
Page 44:
Apparently unhurt by the fall, Rhea claims this is all Buwaro's fault for eating the bonsai. Buwaro tries to pass it off as curiosity, but Rhea isn't buying it, insulting Buwaro.
Buwaro asks why Rhea has to be so mean. Rhea retorts that as long as Buwaro is stupid, she can be as mean as she wants.
Buwaro has had enough, and proceeds to demonstrate Thadius's power by bonking Rhea on the head with her/it. Rhea retorts by stomping on Buwaro's foot, and the battle is on!
Buwaro charges, and the two start rolling down the mountain, wrestling.
Page 45:
After a ferocious battle, Buwaro realizes they are now near the main part of Hell. Wait, Buwaro noticed this and not Rhea? Ummmm...
After a wide shot of the gates of Mordor Hell, Rhea tells Buwaro to go first. They then trade back and forth volleys over who should go first.
Well, no one told us technically how old these two are, but I'll bet they're just children...
Meanwhile, a pair of red glowing eyes watches the two. Sounds like trouble.
Is that Death, preparing a new greeting? Will Thadius prove to be even more lethal? And will the two ever enter Mordor Hell? Stay tuned.
