Polynices took the hand, giving it a firm shake. "Polynices," he said. The devil who summoned him seemed to have some level of chill, which Nick appreciated. It made it a lot easier for him to talk. "Nice to meet you, Jäkel. Nice name, too! So, you got a tale or legacy or something?"

He looked down at the circle. "Um, do you think a spare classroom might be better? There's a few in the basement that hardly any students go to, and if they do, they're probably too, uh," he tried to find the right word. "Chill", he completed his sentence, and did air quotations to emphasise his point, "to care."

At Jäkel's question, Polynices jerked his head up, and looked around sheepishly. "Oh, it's a long story. I kinda– may have– definitely ended up in the Seventh Circle of Hell, and I might have been a little angered that this was the kind of afterlife I had to deal with? Ended up complaining so much that the demons who managed the place gave me a job and a chance to be a demon. I took it, obviously."

That was a short and concise summary that didn't really capture Polynices' full story. But Nick thought it was enough of an explanation.
