It had been two centuries since I had bathed. My skin had long lost the red hue of goat blood warmed

to a gentle boil over the coals of a brazier, and for that I was feeling somewhat nostalgic, perhaps even

bitter. When I entered the pyramid’s naval, I descended the entrance hall ten fathoms before I heard

the sounds of spirits. They were summoned from Tartarus, no doubt, for the light had left their ethereal

forms and were replaced by the hissing sound of a thousand whispering voices.

In the belly of the pyramid lay a cache of metals from which my employer would melt and form the

alloys of a war machine. Securing them would not be easy, and I was the twelfth demon commissioned-

-and the only one still upright--to take these materials by force. Later, I would learn that twenty-seven

others were approached after my recruitment. Had I known my employer’s desperation, I would have

negotiated myself a more lucrative arrangement. And had I known the bruised things swirling within

the pyramid’s belly, I would have brought along my anger talisman.

—From the opening paragraph of Xlaxiov’s memoirs, “By Might and Reason”
