"So, how do you plan on going about this?" I asked Livic.
"Easy, a trace spell," he responded in a gloating way.
"Yeah, tried that already. I had planned on seeing if your...master would provide me a spell to use the orb of Civ's memories to trace him, but I guess that's just you now," I responded, "Mind if I use you as a spell component?"
I tried to add a mischievous jab back at him, and it actually seemed to stop the devil a moment.
"I'll have you know, I'm much better as a being than a simple component," he scoffed, "Besides, my master already informed me what I need to do."
He began to trace spell circles in the air, a magical force I was not accustomed to. This must be the devilish magic that most mortals do not get a chance to even see.
"If I'm not wrong, which I'm not," he said as he finished the spell, "He should be right about..."
As the spell flashed red magic, a few points showed up in the air. A red-tinted earth showed a moment, before backing away, until the entire solar system became just a dot. It backed and showed another series of planets, a large rocky body with 2 moons.
"Heh, that's why you're spell kept failing: he's not on this planet right now!" he said with a sense of success, "You're spell kept saying up, well, I'll say that's one heck of an 'up'!"
"Not...on...this...planet...," I trailed off.
"Yep, my master knows of that planet. The local wolf people call it 'Adastra'," Vic responded matter-of-factly.
"You say that like learning of aliens isn't greatly surprising to me," I responded.
"Well, it isn't to us. The universe is full of life, and Asmodeus has tempted plenty a mortal of other worlds," Vic stated, "I'm actually surprised a technologically and magically advanced species like yours hasn't figured that out yet."
I tried to take it all in, but felt like I'd lose my mind if I didn't stay on task. There will be time to consider the implications of his words later.
"Well, I guess you want me to get him? Guessing since you couldn't find him that teleporting there would be rather difficult?" he asked slyly.
I hated telling this thing I needed his help, but I had no other choice.
"Yes," I said through gritted teeth, "Please help me get him."
