“In the spiritual worlds many consequences are self evident, and just, and extremely plain to see.
“If a soul is committed to Hell for a while, then we understand that it is he who has put himself there and it is fair that he should be there. This is not questioned. There can be sympathy for the damned, but the judgement itself is relied upon to be just.
“Men within this Physical World continue with such evaluations believing that the immediate conditions are exact and deserved also. This is why they do not question poverty or hardship and generally feel entitled to any wealth or good fortune that they themselves might have.
"I say this to you because the World does not operate as smoothly as it might - or will become - for it too is in infancy, still developing, and adapting, and growing.”
-Gabriel Brunsdon, Puck in Hell, Azlander Series
The great Lion stretched out his right paw very slowly and rose smoothly to his feet.
He then padded around Puck full circle three times, and sat down again. His head was huge, and radiating out from it was a golden mane, which made it look all the bigger; yet his face was kindly and Puck could see by the expression on it that he had clearly been listening to his troubles. Puck waited solemnly as the Lion scuffed the dirt between them, making what looked like a figure eight in the ground, pausing to consider his delivery of the advice Puck had come for.
After many moments he looked straight into Puck's eyes and said quietly: "This world of Men is still very young - one could say, at adolescence. The spirit of Mankind is strong, and tensile to each age and its difficulties.
“In the breath of a lifetime their hearts heave with loss and new discovery no less than every hour of their existence there.
“This flux and flow of emotion is a constant - to be taut with life and then to relax; to breathe in the wisdom and outpour one's own; to sort through the choices before you, gathering the skills of good choosing and the ability to say no.
“But the spirit within is young and trusts all.
“It is natural for children to omit danger from their consciousness of behaviour - and in this reasoning, the spirit which is also young, comes from the abundance of Heaven and expects this paradise to continue on.
“As spiritual beings they are self-centred ordinarily - for this is where their own gravity lies - and as spirits they expect all and give very little - having much come to them from Heaven all of the time.”

“One moment there had been nothing but darkness; next moment a thousand, thousand points of light leapt out- single stars, constellations, planets, and brighter and bigger than any in our world. There were no clouds. The new stars and the new voices began at exactly the same time. If you had seen and heard it, as Digory did, you would have felt quite certain that it was the stars themselves which were singing, and that it was the First Voice, the deep one, which had made them appear and made them sing.”
— C.S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew
"I have made an enemy of a man who I find foul and irritating. He controls many people with an insidious performance that appears to be harmless, whilst directing and affecting the lives of the many millions who are now involved.
“Those who follow his work are losing their mental and spiritual acuity, by living the false realities that are so cunningly designed.
"There they wear identities that are nothing like themselves in the real world and come to believe in their fictitious fame with pride and arrogance."
Puck then went on to say: "The disconnect from real virtue, and genuine experience seems lethal to their reasoning.
"Added to this, hundreds of thousands of demonic beings are being sustained by the vitality thrown by this enterprise and the devils are now talking directly to the human players, masquerading as men, inciting acts of random harm.
"Can you tell me how I may work to extradite them from our World - for they have no rightful place to be here?"
Puck continued, catching his breath in between, "Lastly - I have seen souls re-form and the power a man can have who is rebuilt with hope ... can you help me now to retrieve all of those who are captive in Hell and deliver them back unto themselves?"

The great Lion lay casually on the stone stage of the Amphitheatre, waiting patiently as Puck approached from afar.
A rolling purr gave greeting to Puck, who bowed his head, sinking to the ground before him.
As was his manner, he gave time for him to speak his discontent - to unburden his concerns and ask then for his best counsel.
Puck confided: "I am perplexed and without direction or answer. So many men, and immortals too, have fallen to grave corruptions.
"Their choices are taking them straight into Hell, and once there they do not know how to escape its confines."
He paused. The Lion seemed to be considering what was being said, although it was not so easy to know this for sure as his eyes were closed all of the time Puck was speaking.

Nervina was walking through an enchanted forest looking up at the bags of money swinging high in the trees ... when he jumped up to grab one it exploded, showering him with gold.
If only he could find just forty more such bags, he would have made ten dollars in the real world.
Best get back to work, he thought - it was proving harder this time to penetrate the game...

"I'm game if you are" Goober said - albeit reluctantly, but trying his very best to sound brave.
He did not like following Puck into Hell, and avoided the lower realms whenever he could. Goober's nature was very sensitive, and sadness, suffering and torment, caused his body to bruise terribly, breaking out in red welts.
"How many do we need to recover this time do you think?"
"Oh, I'd say around four hundred thousand."
Goober crinkled his brow thinking.
"How many?" he asked again.
"Around four hundred thousand."
Goober could see Puck was serious but his calculations seemed a little off.
"You mean to tell me that you intend going from recovering and recruiting six mortals from the nether-lands, to up the number now of four thousand?"
"Four hundred thousand" Puck corrected him gently. "Yeah, that is what I meant" Gordon sighed.
