The tumbling didn’t stop there. The nuggety little demon had momentum behind it, and it didn’t stop. Just a few minutes earlier, I’d been afraid of missing my target and falling thirty stories straight down.

It seemed I was going to have that experience thrust upon me, and there was nothing I could do about it.

I tore at the smaller demon’s arms, wings, and back as we sailed over the edge. I cursed it out loud, and asked Azrael an angry question. “What the fuck is this thing?” I yelled as I tumbled through the air.

“Soldier demon,” Azrael almost sneered as he responded. “Not particularly powerful in many ways, but they have their uses. And they are tough in a fight.”

“No fucking kidding!” I said as I pounded the rabid beast in the face with my fists.

“If I were you, I’d start to use my wings about now,” Azrael offered.

Oh, yeah. Right. The two of us were plummeting toward the ground at a frightening speed, and while I didn’t really expect the impact to injure me, it would likely still hurt, and I could do without that sort of distraction just then.

So I kicked out with everything I had, dislodging the soldier demon with such force that it sailed away from me, and unfurled my wings just in time. Instead of crashing into the pavement, I beat my wings once, twice, and again, and then I was soaring back into the night.

But I wasn’t the only one with wings. The soldier demon had them as well, and used them to arrest its momentum and hurl itself after me like a Greyhound after a rabbit.

And it was quick!

The damnable creature latched onto one of my legs, and I turned in midflight to pound its face with my fists. But it was like punching a boulder, and I knew that I was losing this midair battle. Not because the soldier demon was more powerful than me, but because it simply didn’t care what I did to it, and its own lightning-fast efforts were having an impact.

The soldier demon raked at me with its claws and teeth. If my demon body hadn’t been so tough, they would have been more successful, but even as it was, the loathsome creature was starting to be more than a little irritating.

“I liked you a lot better as a dog,” I snarled as I flapped ungracefully through the sky, doing my best to grab hold of one of limbs so I could try to rip it off. “And I really didn’t like you as a dog,” I finished. The soldier demon had swarmed its way up my body, and I managed to catch it by its thick, muscular wrists. It didn’t seem to like that very much, and twisted and jerked about in a frenzy, all the while uttering a chattering noise that really got under my skin.

It’s foul, sulfur-stinking maw was close to my face. So, I dragged it closer still, and headbutted it straight in the face.
