Thank you for explaining. I've not read Paradise Lost, nor even heard more of it than the title.

@Melvar: I think I've previously noted that my geography of Hell mostly comes from Dante's Divine Comedy (with my own twists added). The use of Pandaemonium (Wikipedia on Pandaemonium) is one of the bits that isn't from Dante. It's a tip of my cap to Milton's Paradise Lost.

What a way to slip up. Calling a demon kind.
Now, just a question. Pandaemonium is, by its meaning, the set of all daemons. Why is it a place here?

Yes, an unclosed italics tag early on. I did all the proofreading, spell-checking, then didn't scroll through the final page. D'oh! Fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

Is there a reason everything is showing up on my browser as italics?

Eeek!
Wonderful! I especially liked the last bit, "How dare you accuse me of having goodness in my heart?"
Cute!
