As Angelo emerged from the portal, he found himself in the second circle of Hell: Lust. He was surrounded by a thick, putrid fog that clouded his vision and filled his lungs with its noxious fumes. He could hear moans and cries of pleasure coming from all around him, and he realized that he was in a place of temptation and desire.
Angelo looked around and saw that he was on the banks of a river of filth, where souls writhed in agony, consumed by their lustful desires. They were trapped, unable to resist the temptation of their own passions.
Angelo knew that he had to be strong if he was to escape this circle of Hell. He tried to focus on his mission and resist the temptation of his own desires, but the alluring voices and sensations of lust were overwhelming.
Suddenly, he heard a voice calling out to him from across the river. It was a woman's voice, soft and seductive, tempting him to cross the river and join her in her pleasures.
Angelo knew that he had to resist the temptation and stay true to his mission, but the woman's voice was too powerful to ignore. He took a step toward the river, but then he remembered the prayer his grandmother had taught him. He recited it with all his might, and suddenly the fog cleared, and he saw the woman for what she truly was: a demon.
Angelo realized that he was in a place of illusions and deception, where everything was not as it seemed. He knew that he had to be careful and stay true to his mission if he was to escape this circle of Hell.
He continued to walk along the banks of the river, avoiding the temptations and illusions that surrounded him. He focused on his mission and on the hope of escaping this place of torment.
Finally, he saw a staircase leading up out of the circle of Lust. He climbed it with renewed hope and strength, knowing that he had overcome one of the greatest challenges of his journey through Hell. He emerged onto the third circle, ready to face whatever lay ahead.
