Eldon's laughter boomed off the rafters in the tavern. "You're kidding me!" he gasped, looking at Gloria with shock. "You didn't really do that, did you?"
Gloria's smile was broad as it split her lips. "Yeah, and you should have seen her face. Of course, that was before she became the Pillar of Fire, or even met your father."
"What happened after that?" Eldon asked.
"Well, we were on Earth, so we couldn't really talk about what we were. I took her under my wing and taught her a trick or twenty. As old as I am, she taught me a thing or two as well."
"Did you ever meet my grandfather?" He'd heard a lot about the man that at one time ruled over the succubae. He thought he would have gotten along with him and regretted that he'd died before Eldon was born.
