Ok This Was Not a Good Idea

Two hours went by before I finally gave up trying to get by the door. Two hours of pointless pleading, reading, and a little bit of crying (look I'm secure enough in who I am to admit I cried). When I finally started down the path to go deeper in I felt a sense of foreboding. The walls were too smooth (and unmarked) the path felt too steep and slick as well, like whoever made it wanted me to think it was made by water, but it was not (again water doesn't make a spiral cave path!). My hesistance in the path was highlighted when my footing gave way and I came sliding down the corridor landing smack dab into a pile of bones and recent bodies (I could tell recent from all the blood and gore) not far from me was Siara, she had on a pair of spiked gloves and was doing her best to punch her way through a half corpse that was double her size. I could see from the destruction, despite not getting after her for two hours she wasn't that far ahead of me, the density of her attackers was just that numerous. I assisted Siara by burning the over sized corpse creature and it exploded (unintentional side effect, think about it though, all those rotting corpse gasses in a walking shambling body, prime for explosion should fire be added) the force of the explosion threw Siara on to a body near me.

"You're welcome." It was the least I could do, literally any less and I'd say I did nothing.

"I did not need your assistance." Brief unappreciative, just like women are always to me.

"Sure you didn't, so why are the corpses of the living damned attacking you?"

"Have you ever heard of the five fires?"

"The bad place you go when you die and you believe in the Fire God." I'd heard briefly about their downward destination if only to find out a possible destination if I didn't change my ways.

"The very same, this is one of them." It didn't make sense, except it did, and I didn't want to know what Siara was doing there, or what I was doing there, we were both alive! But it turns out you don't have to die to wind up in the five fires, and on top of that not everyone there, should even be there! I tell you the more I learn about the afterlife the more I want to avoid it entirely!
