Back home in Bartertown once more, Mihalis is working on advancing his plans to turn Bartertown into the kind of place where the rich and powerful come to make those special deals they prefer to do out of sight of both the public and certain governments.

He's also spending a fair deal of his time over at HoJo's, where Talin and Caitin's sisters are still very interested in him. Now if only he would stop being ambushed by assassins afterward—it's definitely becoming quite annoying.

Uncle Steve's campaign is still a thing, and he might have to put in another appearance with Black and White before it's over, but right now, he's become intrigued by a rumor that seems to be circulating around the djevels. Something about a new djevel prince. One that has not only learned to survive here in this new world but one who's learned to thrive in it. A certain incubus lord who apparently happens to be him.

For Mihalis, and the lions, this could be something of a game changer. Dealing with the djevels has been proving to be more difficult than first imagined—they're a lot craftier and more cunning than originally thought. If Mihalis were to encourage this idea, it could be helpful. However, there's a possible downside to this whole affair as well. To be a djevel prince, Mihalis would have to take their oaths, and taking their oaths ties him directly into their power pool.

No one knows just what the effects of Mihalis touching that would be...
