This is the story of how Ceri came to be Al's familiar.
AL, ladies and gentleman.
But appreciation for the finer nuances of pleading aside, Al is bored. Bored and tired. Life has become a drudgery, and he's even contemplating taking a vacation, removing his name from the human world so he can no longer be summoned.
Until Ceri summons him, that is.
And Ceri prefers the battlefield.
This is one of the shorter stories in this book, but it's one of my favorites. READ IT. I'm pretty sure it's included in the back of one of the paperbacks, b/c I've read it before.

This is the story of how Ceri came to be Al's familiar.
The knowledge of who owed him and what was worth a lot in the demon's world, and familiars were known for their loose tongues until you cut them out. It was a practice Algaliarept frowned upon. Most of his brethren were bloody plebeians. Removing a familiar's tongue completely ruined the nuances of their pleas for mercy.

But butterflies like carrion as much as flowers, battlefields as much as gardens.
