Lumi smiled. "We had a successful hunt."
"A successful..." Merath descended from the second floor, floating down on his staff. His eyes never left Lumi's face. "You brought a demon corpse to my library."
"Not just any demon," Lumi replied cheerfully. "Currway. I believe you might recognize him."
Merath's eyes sharpened. He gestured with his staff, and the library's massive doors swung open, giving him a clear view of the corpse outside.
The old mage was silent for a long moment before he finally spoke. "Currway," he finally said. "One of the demons sealed over a century ago in the great sealing project."
"That's the one!" Lumi confirmed.
Merath turned back to him. "And you just... killed him. With these adventurers of yours."
Lumi nodded. "We did."
Merath closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He could sense the strength of those outside. Weak… they were all weak.
