“Hmm,” she said. “You seem to have brought the right thing to carry the eternal flame, so I suppose I’ll have to give you some. But there’s something I want you to do first.”

Demon’s brain immediately went into a panic as he wondered what awful thing Hestia might be going to make him do. The smell of honey cakes was very strong in his nostrils now, and his mouth was beginning to water. He saw that Hestia was holding something small and golden out to him.

Demon opened his mouth in relief that his task was so easy, and Hestia popped the small golden thing inside. There was a sort of explosion of sweet deliciousness on his tongue. It was the best honey cake he’d ever tasted in his life. He opened his mouth again. “More!” he demanded greedily, without thinking that it might be a bit rude to give a goddess orders.
