111 A Deal With A Devil

Lucan followed the bone devil into a large building. Inside a lavish chamber he stood before a tall devil covered in scales. Two thick horns curled around his head while leathery wings were folded on its back. On its waist hung a barbed whip.

The bone devil bowed respectfully.

"You are Lucan Quilldrake, Hand of Raze?"

"That's me." Lucan said with a nod.

"Mmm, we will give you an opportunity to sell us your power. But… you must not sell to any demons."

"No thanks, that doesn't work for me. If you want to make conditions you will have to offer something worth your condition."

The horned devil was displeased, he was about to say something but stopped after he opened his mouth. Lucan recognized the invisible magic that was cast on the devil. Someone was speaking to it telepathically.

Since he knew what was happening, Lucan patiently waited. After several minutes, the horned devil turned to Lucan. "I have a deal for you."

"I am listening."
