In this standalone story, the fallen cherub/miniature bodyguard Gaudium steps into the spotlight. Along with his even more delinquent sister, Spera, he ventures into the Realms of Pain in quest of a powerful magical artifact. Demons, slug monsters and man-eating staircases bar his path, but Gaudium's an imp with a mission: to get in and out before the archangel Michael realizes how badly he's screwed up.
