Twenty-nine demons sit at a long, rectangular table. It extends for over a hundred feet, offering each of us plenty of elbow room. Dozens of papers, papyrus scrolls, and etched runes lay before the various Dukes and Barons gathered today. I sweep my gaze around to spot all of the Dukes, including Barbatos, Bael, and…
I activate my Wordsmithing to heal Kar and bring him back from the brink of unconsciousness. As I do, a thought appears in the back of my mind. Hope must have lied to me. I don’t know why he did, but I know it’s the most likely scenario. If Ose, the current reigning leader of…
