Paimon looked at Jamie, "I've no need of your soul, and Molo had this one coming. Ill take your good eye and dominant hand in exchange." He cast a look at Luto and shook his head as if upset.

Jamie raised her chin into the air, defiance on her face, "Done." As soon as she said it her eye and hand disappeared as if they had never been there. She fell to her knees and began to chant, "Lord Paimon has knowledge of all things, future, and past. He knows the secrets of the Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. His whispers revive the dead. All Hail Paimon."

Paimon smiled and raised his free hand so his palm was perpendicular to the ground. The ground shook and rose up as if something was tunneling towards Paimon. He grasped his hand into a fist and raised it into the air. As he did, Eliza's corpse floated out of the ground so that it stood by his side. "My child, I grant you time on this Earth once more. Rise up and live, I ask only one favor of you."

Beball and Abalam rose up beside Eliza, two demon kings that served under Paimon. Eliza looked at one, then the other, "Anything to live again." She licked her clawed fingers and turned towards Molo, "How's it hanging bitch brains?"

Astrid continued to stare down the stranger, fighting to keep her temper under control. She didn't care who this man was, brother of Luto or not, he was threatening and she didn't like that. Her bandaged arm pulsed and throbbed as if it was going to attack on its own. She growled again, "Leave."
