A scene
Three nights the witchdoctor Okonkwo has prepared, and on the fourth he stands in his circle beneath the dead baobab on the veldt of Marhashi and speaks the summoning. The wind dies. The stars go out one by one. Within the triangle a great shape unfolds, and it is Nergal, and a wave of pain rolls out from the eyeless thing, stopping just short of the circle. The arch demon turns its ruined face toward the little man in his little circle, vastly amused. It will not be compelled by a name. It asks what Okonkwo can possibly offer.
