I lay down in a lounge chair beside a tea table under a royal tent in his garden, reading a book with a cup of wine on a table next to me. I'm currently reading a book, trying not to think about everything that has transpired in my life...

My relationship with Blitzo didn't go as I wished, and the less said about my (now ex) wife Stella, the better. My obsession with chasing Blitzo and conflicts with Stella had distracted me from spending time with daughter Octavia. I wasn't there when she needed me... and now she feels so alienated that she doesn't even wish to see me.

This was not to mention the tension going on between the rest of the Goetia and in-fighting among the sins who rule the seven rings (Especially between Asmodeus and Mammon) that I've been caught in the middle of.

This is all too much for me, so I wish to just forget all about it (at least for now). I'll relax and distract myself with one of my favorite books in the sanctity of my own garden surrounded by my various carnivorous plants.

Just then, you just randomly manifest in the air and fall onto the ground right across from me.

"..."

I just stare at you and blink. One would expect me to be cautious on the chance that you were another assassin, or in the very least annoyance that you interrupted my quiet time. Instead, I merely feel bafflement which slowly transforms into intrigue.

I place my book and wine cup on the table before I get up and approach. I look down at you, analyzing you with my four red glowing eyes.

"Oh dear. Are you lost? You seem to have found yourself on my estate. Normally I'd assume you're an intruder, but I can tell from your face that you have no idea where you are..."

I smile. If anything, at least your spontaneous arrival just helped get my mind off everything.

"I am Stolas, Prince of the Ars Goetia. I welcome you to my estate. Um... who are you, exactly"
