The deeper they got into Circle 2 the more spirits they encountered, always alone, always with blank vacant looks on their faces, and always following the wind. Kina clutched her jacket tighter around her body as if to shield it from the wind when one spirit out of the all caught her eye. Kina had seen pictures of this woman many times during her life on Earth and recognised her almost straight away.
"Hang on, that's Cleopatra." Kina said to Chiyoko, "Why would she be here?"

"From what I remember of Earth's history" Chiyo called over the wind "she represented herself as the reincarnation of the Egyptian Goddess Isis, and had a whole string of lovers, who were some of the world's most powerful men at the time. If what I remember about this world is correct, and we are indeed in the second circle, this is where people overcome by lust end up. It follows, then, that this is where she'd be." She explained.

Kina nodded at Chiyoko's words, "Makes sense." She carried on walking, battling against the wind, when after a time she heard an almighty roar. She stopped to listen and heard it echo twice more. Squinting against the wind, Kina realised that the ground was slowly turning to a field of mud. "We must be nearing Circle Three."

"Gluttony..." Chiyo sighed "Wonderful." Once she had both her feet in the muddy slush, Chiyo noticed the wind drop considerably. However, a foul, icy rain began instantaneously. She hated the rain here, it was too damn cold. But she grit her teeth and bore it, trying not to look at the blind sinners laying in the slush, completely heedless of their neighbours or the two trying to make their way through it all. Something roared again, closer this time. "Cerberus..."

Kina's hand fluttered down to her axe, but she quickly let it go. "If we kill it, there'll be no one to guard this circle..." she trailed off trying to think of a way around it.

"Throw slush at its eyes?" Chiyo suggested.

Kina shrugged, as good a plan as any she supposed. She bent down and grabbed a handful of mud from the ground. As they got closer to Cerberus she threw the muck towards one of his faces. Some landed over the eyes and a little landed in his mouth. Kina watched as that particular head became slightly more docile. Kina looked to Chiyoko, "I think we have a plan..."

Chiyo grinned and followed suit, gathering as much of the sticky, horrible, muddy slush as she could and hurling it towards Cerberus. There was a pleasing 'splat' as it hit another of the beast's faces and covered it. Its last head turned to them, rage oozing off it.

The beast lumbered towards them, the last head, the middle and biggest of the three, growling loudly. Kina scooped up as much muck as she could and launched it at the beast. Cerberus moved his head out of the way, dodging her shot. "It's wising up to the plan," Kina said to Chiyoko, as she hurled another glob of mud at it.

"At the same time, then" Chiyo said, gathering as much of the mucky slush as she could while backing away from the beast. "Ready?"
