Purge

Adri's blood lust was joined by Peters. They both killed without remorse or hesitation. The fire that burned inside them and around them was all consuming. Victims of the spiders who had not yet died, were burned away in their rage. They both had judged without saying that anyone who had suffered at the hands of the spiders wanted death among all else. The temple and all of its inhabitants were laid to ruin. But the champions blood lust was not slaked. They stalked the way out murdering and crushing and splattering anything they came across. The Fire God at once worried maybe her champions were not up to the task, and that they would not have the fire to do what must be done. Now she knew she chose properly. Seeing their destruction and disregard for life brought a smile to her face.

Eventually the gore caked and partially singed duo came up from underneath the caverns right into a meeting hall. It was a basement access point, but clear even in their blood craze that the spiders were not only well known, but an accepted part of living on the planet. Both Peter and Adri were outraged. People had been used as food by their betters, and these people clearly received some benefit from the spiders. The Fire God had been correct, there was something wrong with the planet, but it appeared everyone was sick. Everyone had been infected with a disease. The champions emerged during what appeared to be a board meeting, covered in the gore of their enemies.

"What is going on here?" The councilman who came forward first was immediately crushed by Peter. He didn't say anything, just swung his hammer and broke the man's neck and casually knocked his body aside. Screams went up in the room as the board people tried to flee. Peter set fire to the exit and in their panic ran at their murderers hoping to escape, they failed. With the council members purged the champions moved outside to the town center where a crowd had been gathering for some announcement of a harvest festival. It seemed like years since Adri and Peter had worked along side farm workers compared to the wanton destruction they had been involved with. The crowd reacted with fear at their presence.

"These people betrayed, you they sold you to their god, the god of the spider." Adri spoke, but her words were all the Fire God.

"We have broke you free of his bonds, you should now worship the Fire God, for she has ended your servitude." Peter followed up. The people still not sure what had happened looked at them like children.

"WORSHIP!" Adri ignited her sword and a column of flame shot to the heavens and the people bowed down their previous fear becoming reverence. Adri set fire to the pedestal that would have welcomed people who had sold them out to spiders and the fire burned unnaturally. Their work finished, both champions made their way to the space port, they knew work was just beginning.
