"Hulk, I heard you're coming to the Abyss!"
The message popped up on the Survivor's Platform. It was from the Demon Makareth.
"On my way now," Orion replied. "News travels fast."
As a member of the same team, and a senior one at that, Orion's trip to the Abyss was always going to include a visit to Makareth's territory. This wasn't just his own idea; it was something the Deputy Commander and Alexander had pushed for. Makareth was only at the Legendary level, struggling to hold his own in the Abyss. The team had a responsibility to help him establish a firm foothold.
With the Deputy Commander, Alexander, Arthas, and Leonidas all having ascended to demigod, the only members suitable to provide on-the-ground support were Orion and Kraken. And since Kraken was of the Sea Race, operating in the Abyss would be inconvenient.
The mission, therefore, fell to Orion. Alexander had already given Makareth a heads-up, and the Demon had been waiting on pins and needles for his arrival.
