Damian and Astaroth sat several meters apart, a desk positioned before each of them with jugs of wine resting on the polished surfaces. The room was quiet, its atmosphere considerably more relaxed than the political chaos unfolding across the Underworld.
Astaroth sat comfortably in his chair, while Kaja and Cain stood on either side of him, their expressions tense as they watched Damian. Neither had forgotten the destruction surrounding the battle for Velmora, nor the fact that the demon sitting before them had recently killed a Prince of Greed and claimed his inheritance.
Even with Damian appearing calm, there was something unsettling about his presence that made it difficult to treat this meeting as an ordinary visit between allies.
