8th Circle of the Inferno The three demons gathered as planned. Their red eyes glowed brightly in the dim, firelit cavern. Their horns reflected the flames, and their massive bulk filled the small conference room. The familiar odor of smoke and sulfur wafted throughout the room, a pleasing aroma to these denizens of the lower abyss. Asmodeus, Orkoth, and Kizgan, the demons of Lust, were among the most powerful and dangero...

I'd dropped my sister and her friends off at their houses on the way back, but Lily's house was a little more out of the way, and she'd got really tired trick-or-treating.
