Chapter 40
“Are you okay?” Riadh sounded concerned.
“I, uh, I dropped a…demon.” Dale pointed to the floor.
“Oh.”
“What do I do with it?”
Riadh held out his hands. A mop and a very large dustpan popped into existence. He nudged the gelatinous mass into the dustpan with the mop. “I’ll go put it in the compost pile out back. Just, a word of warning, though. If we have to dispose of another one, it’s not a particularly good idea to place more than one in about ten square yards of space.”
“Why?”
“It could attract…things you aren’t equipped to deal with.”
“You’re going to have to be more specific.”
“An adult demon or lesser elder god.”
Dale stood there blinking. “Er, um, what exactly was Aunt Mildred planning on doing with them?”
“Selling them.”
“So does that mean the people buying them were planning on summoning demons?”
