Kael wouldn't deny he was in awe of this demon who spoke with dignity. This was who he used to be, above everyone else; above everything else. And even his name was terror to both mankind and his kind.

"Kael Valois," Luxan replied with a happy smile. "Do you see now that we are so much alike?"

Kael couldn't agree more. This demon seemed like one with whom he could have a conversation- one who would be honest, but Kael also knew he had to be careful. This was still hell.

"I wouldn't subject you to play a useless game to leave my path, but..." his voice trailed. "I am bored and would wish to exercise my mind with a simple card game with a man of intellect like you. What do you say, Kael?"
