After hearing about Virgil's divinely inspired journey, Malacoda grants the poets safe passage and rounds up a group of ten demons to escort them to the next bridge.
He asks to speak to one of them, and Malacoda, leader of the demons, steps forward. Virgil confronts the demons, and they threaten to harm him. The other demons warn the sinner to get beneath the pitch or the sinners will taste their grappling hooks. The demon is carrying a sinner, which he tosses into the pitch, saying that he is going back for more sinners to place in the chasm of Grafters. Suddenly, a raging demon appears, and Virgil hides Dante behind a large rock so he can go to the demons and make a deal for their safe passage. Dante compares the pitch to the material used to caulk the seams of ships. Their paths end up on a collision course when a powerful but benevolent entity called Redde is summoned, who sees fixing their situation as an opportunity to gain redemption in the eyes of heaven.In Canto XXI, Dante and Virgil make their way to the fifth chasm, which is very dark and filled with boiling pitch. Meanwhile Daniel Wrenfield, the last wizard alive, tears through the city seeking vengeance on the demon who caused the death of his wife. For Viktor and Abigail, two empaths living in New York City, those new heros can't come soon enough.Threatened by a legion of demons, they are forced to flee from the home they love with only the prophecy of a clairvoyant friend to guide them. If mankind is to continue to fight this war, a new breed of hero will have to be born. Once, the wizards protected us from their onslaught, but all but one of them have fallen. There is a world operating just outside of our normal senses, and it's citizens are at war with mankind. It is a much darker place than you realize.
