Aenys is too busy reading the damn thing to pay much mind to the moron. The demon answers. "The book is a spell book written by Lady Meraxes herself when she walked this plane. It can bind us to your will. Make us servants for a century."

"What do you know of Vhagus, and the deal he has made? No doubt if it had been with you, you would not be here, unless he got the upper hand." Harwyn returned his attention to the demon, curiosity beginning to outweigh caution.

"Demons have a social network," apparently even demon lords understand human sarcasm. "Bigger axe man, clearly you're the brains of this. Ally with me and let's go conquer."

Uhtred stares at the thing and cannot conceal the disgust in his voice "Ally? I have no reason to trust one such as you, and such a alliance would be doomed to failure. Unless you could convince me otherwise, I fail to see the temptation." he glances aside at the Prince "otherwise I do not see any chance for you here."

"Vhagus makes it work. Works so well that blondy here is trying to do the exact same thing, but failing because he was fucking slaves instead of learning old Valyrian," the demon said.

"Yes? Yet I do not know Old Valyrian, and neither do my compatriots" Uhtred glances down and scratches his nose "So if you want the chance at this world, tell us how Vhagus did it. How he 'makes it work'"

"He says 'demons be my friend,' and because Hell is boring and full of lawyers, we come up to this plane and wreak havoc. Demons are grateful creatures by nature. Even Yeen is better than Hell."

Uhtred almost laughs in spite of himself. Gods, a demon with a sense of humor. What was it all coming to "Very convincing. Almost I'm trapped here, lulled by your... bountiful wit. Obviously you'd rather be left here to rot until you fade away. Again I ask, how did Vhagus make the relationship work?" Uhtred wonders if he could learn Old Valyrian. It seems like whoever wanted to stop the mad emperor would need to know that.

The demon turns to the men milling about the floor. "First one to cross the circle gets gold and naked women." Clever fucking demon. Soldiers rush the circle. One man chokes as the demon latches on to him.

Uhtred grabs the Prince and turns his attention to the debacle currently happening "if you're going to do something" he growls at the man "you'd better do it fucking now."

Aenys shouts some words out and a bolt of lightning smashes into the circle, scattering men and demon. The fiend chuckles, its voice gurgly in his new host. "Going to have to do better than that."

Uhtred clanks his visor down and turns to the prince, moving quickly now "If I cut its head off, will it banish it?"

"We better hope so!" Aenys shouts, drawing his sword. Virtually everyone else is running away. REALLY fucking fast.

Uhtred pauses a moment, takes the book and tucks it into his pouch, then jumps down to behead the man/demon thing. He needs the stupid prince alive. His men who were on the platform will follow him in, the veterans of the iron titans had seen demons before. And seen them die.

They had seen golems, perhaps, not an embodiment of such perfect evil. Men swarm the beast, but it effortlessly blasts them aside. Uhtred strikes the man a mortal blow, and the body crumples to the ground. Aenys stabs the fuck out of the corpse.
