With all the work involved in maintaining records of hundreds of years of history while still remaining on the lookout for new events to record, sometimes even a demon could use an extra helping hand. After spending too much valuable time that could be spent searching for more information and generally getting some actual work done, Charlotte decided it was time to look into finding an assistant, or perhaps a slave - just someone who could perform the basic chores while she worked.
Of course, she had the capability of summoning one herself, but this wasn't the best plan. Any servant that she summoned would be demonic. This meant that it would most definitely be evil, and therefore they would likely be either plotting at all times ways to kill her, or too incompetent to perform the tasks she expects. And then there would be the complaining: "I want to rend flesh! My back hurts! Just let me eat that baby!" Yeah, no thanks.
Instead, the demon had a different solution in mind. She knew of someone within La'marri who was skilled with the creation of golems and other constructs. It might cost some money, but such a being would typically be obediant and strong, with a lot less complaining. Maybe not the best for stimulating conversation, but that wasn't what she needed them for.
Charlotte strolled through the village in her natural demonic shape. La'marri was just about the only place where a demon could walk around openly, so long as they weren't causing trouble, and it helped that she had gained some reknown as a historian as proof that she wasn't out to steal any souls. It was a freedom that she liked to take advantage of at any opportunity, although the casual dress she wore may have looked just a little out of place on a demon.
Arriving at the home owned by the construct master, Charlotte knocked on the door.
(I'll let you play the golem's creator.)
