"Hmm... well I've always been a fan of the Khopesh. The blade that's standard issue for most of the southern kingdoms. In the mortal world." He says after a little pondering.
"Mm. That weapon came from a civilization far more ancient than yours, you know? Very interesting one. Perhaps I'll go back and visit them..." He murmurs, trailing off for a moment, before continuing. "But first, as you requested... A khopesh." He says, and the hilt of a sword starts to rise from the floor. It came out like ripples spreading from a pond. First a jet black leather grip, followed by a curved blade of pure black metal, which had glowing red runes inscribed on each side.
"Now go. Finish my task, mortal."
"Now go. Finish my task, mortal."
Wrapping his hand around the hilt Malkar raises the blade and tests it's balance and weight with a few practice swings before bowing to the snake god. "It shall be done." He says before rising and walking way from the god of death.
"Very well. Also, you're walking towards the Planes of Damnation. That's the wrong way, in case you didn't know that either." He says, before raising the tip of his tail and pointing downwards, where Malkar can see a hole in the ground. "That's where you have to go."
"Oh... ok then." He says as he rubs the back of his head with a nervous chuckle and quickly walks over to the hole. "Well he goes nothing." He says as he jumps into the hole to hell.
The hole is a long, long fall. Pretty noisy too. Oh wait. Those were just his screams reflecting of the walls.
The fall is vertical for about ten minutes, before easing out into a an extremely smooth, but very steep slope. And he was still picking up speed as he fell!

"HOLY SHIT!!!!!" He yells as he falls down the seemingly bottomless hole. 'How the fuck am I gonna slow down' he thinks as he try to look around to find something to grab onto. But he then looks at his blade and an idea forms in his head. He quickly turns himself over and stabs his Khopesh into the side of the hole, hoping to slow himself down.
There's a loud crunch as the blade digs into the wall, nearly jerking his arm out of its socket as he's suddenly stopped. And is currently dangling above the hole.
"Fuck. This is alot deeper then I thought." He says to himself. 'OK let's try this.' He thinks as he pulls out his Khopesh for the wall and drags it behind him as he falls trying to make this less of a free fall.
The tunnel slowly starts to level out, before it becomes flat enough that he doesn't need to slow his fall. He could slide down safely.
Breathing a sigh of relief Malkar lays on his back with his arms crossed over his chest, while holding onto his Khopesh and slides down the tunnel.
The slide starts to pick up speed, and he goes faster and faster until he flies out of a hole in a wall, and right into a body of water. Seemed to be a lake.
Malkar let's out a yelp as he lands in the water, and quickly surfaces and takes a breath. After rubbing the water out of his eyes he takes his time to look around as he swims to the nearest shore.
The shore is extremely far off. By the time he got there, he'd be too exhausted to move.Perhapsnnel was built so that a person could be propelled farther, and end up having to swim less.
"Well... shit... maybe that wasn't such a good idea..." He says between gasps as he lays their on the shore. He lays there for a while before with a groan he stands, starts to look at his sroundings.
What he sees is... Well... Not very inspiring. All he sees is a plain of flat black, with black sand, a black sky, black trees; he gets the point. Everything was black.
Very far off in the distance, he sees what appears to be the spires of a castle. But perhaps he should rest somewhere before continuing?

"Well this is... Unimpressive. Not what I thought hell would look like." He says as he walks up to one of the many black trees and sits down with another groan. As he leans against the tree he yawns and on no time drifts into sleep.
He sees a figure in the trees. It's long and slender, almost like a stick. It has holes for eyes, and a jagged line for a mouth. The fingers are long and claw like, but he doesn't get much time to examine the creature as it suddenly shrieks and attacks!
"Fuck!!" He tells as he rolls away from the tree and hops up on his feet. Then he enters a fighting stance while raising his blade infront of him.
The thing doesn't wait, immediately leaping at him with another shriek, claws swinging. They graze past his shoulder, leaving tiny scratches on his scales.
He hisses in annoyance at the creature. He then slashes at the stick creature with his khopesh and lands his own graze on the creature thin body.
It quickly hops back, before looking down at the scratch. It screeches again, before leaping at him again, claws swinging wildly. It was extremely pissed off! The next scratch lands across his face. A minor one, but it bleeds, nonetheless.
[Let me decide whether you hit/damage something.]

(Ok)
He hisses again and places a hand on his face and sees his blood. With a growl he swings horizontally twice at the stick monster.

The first slice goes deep enough, and that quickly ends the life of the monster. It lets out a sad, haunting wail as a black wisp floats out of its body, before it crumples to dust.
[Going to sleep.]
[Going to sleep.]
Malkar lets out a breath as the annoying stick monster dies, looks on as the monster turns to ash. He the turns away from the ash pile and with a hand on the cut on his face he makes his way toward the spires of the distant castle.

The distance grows shorter and shorter as he walks. He keeps hearing shrieks and cries in the distance, but the monsters stay well away from him.
The closer he gets to the castle, the more voices he starts hearing. Then, when he finally crosses a hill, he realises that the spires are that of a castle... But with a massive city around it!

"Damn. This will be interesting." Malkar murmurs to himself as he stops on top of the hill and takes in the sights of the city. After a few minutes he continues on the way to the city.
