“It happened when you entered the tower unattended by
authorized personnel,” Ciaran explained. “A bit of an overzealous anti-theft
device created for me by a friend from the stars. Should you find yourself in
the same predicament in the future, simply hit that button. Ah, Lucifer, a
pleasure to see you. However, the answer is still no. I find the Enchanters of
Lwiqsyz a boring lot on their best day. Perhaps you should ask the chap who
summoned you if he would consider accompanying you.”
“I’m sorry, Lord Lucifer, I didn’t intend to summon you,”
Lleu apologized, giving a low bow. “I was trying to summon one of your lackeys.”

Oh the frustration of ordering the wrong thing! I hope Lucifer has a sense of humor-since I'm fairly certain he's not too forgiving.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how Lord Lucifer is going to respond??? lol
ReplyDeleteYour imagination ceaselessly amazes me!
Well done. You had me right away.
