The demonic realm was perpetually stormy overhead, the 'sun' a sickly green amid the ashen sky. Trees were blackened, evil shapes of something that wasn't wood, the ground covered in more stone and ash and the various creatures visible were equally ghastly versions of their early counterparts. She'd travel a mile before coming to what passed as a settlement, really a knot of what looked like trees, twisted and warped together with smoke coming out a chimney and the yellow-red glow of a fire within. The structure was big enough to hold something twice as tall as a man and cackling voices came from within, the fleeting face of something almost feminine visible through what passwd for a window.
