Dust and blood

[Anastasia]

Everyone, I presume?

[Iron Dragoon]

Yep. If that includes anyone watching the family, then the family comes too.

[Anastasia]

Bastian stays with your family, as does Dolmaya. Just in case.

Jarem enters first, a respectful nod to Empress Sulia and then Queen. This doesn't last because Emily enters and smiles, "Hi," she calls, hurrying over to Sulia, "How are you?"

"Oh, Emily," Empress Sulia greets, "Well and better yet. Have you meet Queen," she nods to her, "Really, one of the most pleasant surprises of all of this."

Meanwhile Lady Honeydip flutters in, as requested.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods to the new comers, "Thank you for coming. Empress Sulia and Queen have a proposal for a mission for us."

[Anastasia]

"I heard from a little birdie," Queen begins, as for some reason that makes Empress Sulia sigh ever so slightly, "That you recently ventured to the Abyss?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"We did, yes. That's part of why I came to your realm."

[Anastasia]

"Our goal is something a little different -we want to eliminate an Archdevil," Queen agrees, "To make a great impact and make our names across the planes."

[Iron Dragoon]

"And which one are you planning to target?"

[Anastasia]

"There are several of interest," Queen goes on, "Before that, what is your portfolio of duties?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Knowledge, Exploration, and Potential. Why?"

[Anastasia]

"Our choice should reflect that," Queen says, the tip of her tail lashing back and forth.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa raises an eyebrow, "And what of both of you? What archdevil might be suitable for all of us?"

[Anastasia]

"Perhaps...Gargauth?" Queen reckons, "Do you know of him?"

K:P.

Gargauth is said to be an exiled Archduke of Hell and a deity in his own right. The Hidden Lord, one whispered to be so vile that not even the devils could stand him. While little known and often to the fringes of Creation, he is a known force for woe.

You recall that he prefers to operate under various pseudonyms and rarely directly challenges others.
