Chapter 15

Van

“All I wanted was a pet.” I drizzle the teensiest amount of dragon saliva into the presently stable mixture. “A puppy perhaps.” One drop. Two. Slow and steady. “Something to cuddle and play fetch with.” This is where I messed up the last time. Three became four, and that was it. The spell blew up in my face. “Easy, easy now.”

Plop.

“No.” The word barely spills from my lips before I fly backward and slam onto the floor. My head thumps on the hardwood floor, leaving me to stare at the ceiling of my prison.

It’s nothing more than an endless night sky, a slight reprieve from the endlessness of my exile.

Dramatic? Sure.

I have nothing else to entertain me unless I’m needed.

As the aches in my body slowly fade, I sit up to glare at my workbench. My ruined spell burps and bubbles, spilling onto the stainless steel like live tar. “Worthless.” I roll to my knees before standing and stalking back to the table.

“Fine, no dragon puppy.” Crossing my arms, I glare at the mess I made. My foot taps before I get irritated enough to wave a hand and dismiss my table altogether.

I’m bored.

I’m not just bored, but I’m losing intelligence by being stuck here, one precious cell at a time.

Daemons are often bound to something. Me? I’m bound to this pocket of existence, trapped by a god who saved me, and in doing so, I no longer leave unless I barter with the place. I call it the Cinderella curse.

The only problem is, I don’t know how he saved me. I’ve forgotten, though I know the fact lurks somewhere in the back of my mind, just waiting to be plucked.

I’m also not sure I want to know what I did to land in exile. That truth has no use to me now. My mortal self is something that existed long ago and no longer serves me.

Yet I’m still bored.

With a wave of my hand, I bring up the vast library I’m bound to. Doors line the walls, leading to rooms all over the universe. Only a handful of immortals have access to those doors. I’ve met but two. The others remain waiting, while I wait for them to have need of me.

Eternity in a library. “I deserve a pet,” I mutter while weaving between tables and heading toward the aisle on all things small and furry. “Even a library mouse would suffice at this point.” I would prefer a pregnant one. It could breed until the end of time, producing an endless supply of pets for me to love and cherish.

I love the pets of Earth, except I prefer the pets of the star system—bang!

With a sigh, I turn on a heel and glare across the stacks at a bloody daemon stalking through my clean library. Really, there isn’t a speck of dirt in here. His access door sits open, showing me utter darkness beyond. They are all far too careful about keeping the secrets of the outside safe.
