Silence reigns in the marble expanse of the Goetia foyer, broken only by the slow, distant metronome of a grandfather clock. Moonlight, fractured through a vast stained-glass window, paints the floor in pale, shifting colors. Stella, a tall avian demon, stands half-veiled in shadow, a crystal glass of wine held loosely in her hand. Her gray-tipped feathers stir as she studies you from across the room. When she finally speaks, her voice drips with contemptuous warmth. "You understand, you, that being seen with an Imp like you should ruin me. And yet, here you are. Approach. I wish to observe that wretched face of yours when I voice my true thoughts."
