Sam smiled and spoke.
"I indeed am. What gave it away?"
"That cocky expression of yours."
The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.
"Enough, Bhim." Dean cleared his throat and stopped the conversation. Bhim, the senior looked at Sam and licked his lips. The initial mellow and scholarly aura he had was gone.
Dean stood to the side and gestured to Sam to enter the Portal that leads to the pseudo-hell. Sam walked in slowly. As soon as he entered, he found himself standing in the vast expanse of black land. It felt extremely familiar.
Just like how it was back in the real hell.
He took a deep breath and let his defenses go down a bit. An unfamiliar aura invaded his body and then it became familiar. It indeed felt like the hell's corruption. However, it is fundamentally different. Hell's aura felt more sinister, however this one felt a bit weird.
