The Demon
And those idiots summoned demons and made deals with them, giving them their souls and access to this world and receiving power in return—not the purest kind, but better than nothing, no doubt about that.
It was quite enough to cause a mess or two. It’s because of those scum that necromancers are despised. Both kinds dealt with demons: summonings, bargains...but a warlock next to a necromancer was like a peasant next to a king.
The latter would command; the former would beg. I had no need of bargains, I was a power in my own right. My mother, by the way, hadn’t struck a deal either; Martha had helped.
