I have been approached with a very interesting proposition. It would be incredibly risky, and if I fail then I would absolutely lose all my lands, power, and favors. I could ignore it and sit comfortably in my domain until the end of time.

But that's the problem, isn't it? Demonkind was not meant to sit in idleness. Perhaps we have no purpose, other than growing endlessly more powerful. 

But if that is what I am most capable of, then that is what I shall do.
