PANEL 1

A winters night in GOTHAM CITY and there has been a heavy snow, JASON BLOOD, wrapped with in a trench coat and scarf, walks down an empty ally way alone, not even his shadow to keep him company, he leaves footprints as he goes.

CAPTION- Many have asked what occurs,
when one is here and the other defers.

PANEL 2

CUT TO- HELL, inside a red stone chamber where ETRIGAN is sitting on a throne of charred bone with a chalice in hand. The DEMONS THREE crouch around staring at the flames that are at the forefront of the panel and watching the horror that is occurring off panel. ETRIGAN is also watching and he is smiling.

CAPTION- The Demon himself goes to the land of rot,
where tortured souls burn with flame that is hot,
and the demon smiles at the damned and the lost,
wishing he never be uprooted from his spot.

PANEL 3

CUT TO- HEAVEN, outside the pearly gates which lead to the SILVER CITY. JASON BLOOD stands there in a white suit, awaiting entry along with a few others dressed the same. Despite being denied entry, they all seem content just to bask in the presence of the kingdom before them.

CAPTION- I myself go to the heavens for awhile,
feeling the warmth of the Silver City which the Demon reviles.
I pray to the Lord each time to let me stay,
but He shows no mercy to those who stray.

PANEL 4

CUT TO- JASON BLOOD and ETRIGAN are stood in the centre as one being, half way through a transformation into either one or the other. The faces of their greatest enemies surround them in the void; KLARION THE WITCH BOY, MORGAINE LE FEY, NERON and FELIX FAUST.

CAPTION- So the Demon and I,
our joy subsides,
as we are both called back to the world from time to time,
to fight evil forces and prevent their horrible crimes.

PANEL 5

CUT TO- A top of castle battlements, JASON BLOOD is wearing ETRIGAN'S Armour, a flaming sword in both hands raised above his head ready to strike down atop of ETRIGAN, who is naked and crouched like a feral animal, his claws ready to slash across JASON BLOOD'S face, fire spitting out from his mouth. It is their final battle.

CAPTION- We both know that one day it will all end in tears,
our conflict finally ending after years and years,
but I would like to think it's a day that we both do fear.


PANEL 6

CUT TO- JASON BLOOD, walking further still in the same ally that was in PANEL 1, but now you can see his shadow behind him in the shape of ETRIGAN.

CAPTION- There is one thing we agree on though,
that when all is said and all is told,
that only on Earth are we ever cold.
