Sphix followed the demoness, climbing up the stairs and occasionally skipping several steps at once just because she could. She did her best the memorize the route. It was always good to know where everyone, friend or foe, resided.

When they reached their destination, the sphinx took her human form again. “This would better not be a trap”, she muttered, more because she didn’t want to sound overly exited than because she actually thought it was. She had been living in the Manor for a while now, and so far, it had been decidedly trap free. “Because if it is a trap, you will pay. Dearly. Now, show me what you have got. And it would better not be blue.”
