“I think it’s time we go check things out,” she told Cyril.

“Sounds good. We’ll be back shortly,” Cyril’s face look strained. “I hope I’m ready for what we’re about to see.”

“It won’t be that bad,” Noah said.

Arie and Cyril took off down the hallway to the front door. I heard the soft click-click of the door, as they left the house. I knew Athen and I needed to go out there too, but I wanted to hang back and visit with Noah.

“Are you doing okay?” I asked him. “By the look of it, I’d say no.”

Athen slid to the seat next to me to offer support.

“We truly appreciate everything you’ve been doing for us and the movement,” Athen offered, “but it looks like it’s really taking a toll, man.”

Noah stared at the table and papers he had spread out everywhere. He didn’t say anything.

“We aren’t trying to stick our nose where it doesn’t belong. Believe me, I know how tough it is losing your soulmate,” I tried a different technique.

“Yeah, but you knew you were getting him back, eventually,” Noah’s voice was charged. “I don’t have that luxury. I’m alone, Ana - completely alone. This project? It’s all I’ve got!”

It was true. Even when I worried Lilith had gotten to him, there was a sprinkle of hope that kept me going.

“You’re right. I can’t argue with that. There was a moment where I thought I had lost him to another,” I whispered, looking over at Athen, who nodded back at me. “But you’re right. Even with that, I knew he’d still be on earth. It was cruel of me to act as if I knew what you’re going though, but you still have to take care of yourself. I’m sure she would’ve wanted that.”

Athen caught Noah’s eyes and began. His voice was soft and full of kindness, “Vanessa was tricked, but she did it for you. She was tricked into believing her sacrifice would save you from being taken to the dark side. Do you think her sacrifice was intended for you to beat yourself up for the rest of your existence?”

“Existence?” Noah began. “That’s the problem. Think about how long we are in existence. Think about how long I’m looking at facing without her. Listen, guys. I’m sure I look like a truck ran over me, but I’m trying my best. The only thing that keeps me going is thinking we have a shot at destroying Azazel. That’s all that I have. Am I miserable? Yes, but I fully recognize there’s nothing I can do that will make it better. To honor her sacrifice, I’ve got to do my part to end Azazel. It’s as simple as that. But please don’t worry about me, because there’s nothing that can be done. The darkness that follows me every day seems to be here to stay. I’m just learning how to work with it,” his voice full of grief.

“Whatever we can do to help,” Athen placed his hand on my knee. “Don’t forget we’re here.
