Starting a story with “putrid scent” is extremely powerful imo. I really enjoyed your rich word choices. I like how bringing the demons through the castle is the maze. My favorite part is teleporting the books and dropping them to lead the demon where you want him. I got a pleasantly creepy feeling when it ended darkly!

POG. You actually caught how I implemented the maze! I was going to describe the puzzling layout of the castle but I didn't have enough words for it. Although, because your brain is massive, you went beyond mere words and understood!

I am looking forward to reading the process documents, but I haven't yet because I wanted to see what I got just from the story. Cool idea!
