 Pazuzu lowers his hands until they're grasping yours. You speak uncertainly.

"We were going to try Zeldris' father next."

You've never seen Pazuzu look this nervous.

"If you're planning to summon... him... listen to me carefully. Let Zeldris do the talking. Your only concern should be staying as unnoticeable as possible. Don't speak unless you're spoken to, don't move, don't even breathe too loudly. This guy... he's not like me. He'd take your soul as soon as look your way. A human like you shouldn't ever summon someone like him."

Grateful for the advice, you smile. "You really are a protector of humanity, aren't you?"

Pazuzu blushes and summons his cake from the living room.

"I'll see you for the new moon, right?" you ask.

"If you survive until the new moon. Be careful."

"So... how do you summon Zeldris' father?"

"You don't. He can only be safely summoned by another high-ranking demon. Zeldris will have to summon him."

"Do you think Zeldris' father will actually show up?"

"I don't know. I've never met him. Smart demons steer clear of that part of the Netherworld and Ereshkigal would wring my neck if I got too close. I hear... he... I hear Zeldris' father didn't even show up when Meliodas..."

"Meliodas? Who's Meliodas?"

"Never mind that. Forget I said anything."

"Can he help us?"

"I don't know if he can be summoned."

"Well, what was the old method of contacting him?"

"I don't know."

You make a mental note to google the name later.

"Thanks, Pazuzu."

"I should go. You know how it is, teenagers to scare, walls to make bleed, heads to spin. Typical boring Ouija board stuff." He winks at you.

"Have fun."

He finishes the cake, puts the plate in the sink, and disappears.
