“We have a traitor among us,” announced Salazar when all the others had gathered. A murmur of voices swirled around him, and the air grew cold.

“Why would you say this, Salazar?” asked a voice. Cato. He and Marcia were arm-in-arm. She stroked the top of his hand affectionately, and he pulled her closer to his side.

“There are forces at work that are disrupting the energies,” answered Salazar. “We had a taste of it with the Spartan all those years ago.” The others nodded. The Spartan king, Anaxandridas, had answered the call of a soul, formed a connection, but they’d been attacked by a living being under the influence of a dark spirit. There had been no way to trace the source. And she’d already been so disturbed that it was difficult to tell where her madness ended and where the demonic possession began. Fortunately, the Council had intervened before she could reach Xander and his love, Rebecca. They’d successfully transitioned him to a mortal plane, and he’d gone on to live with her and raise a child. It was an unusual set of circumstances but not unprecedented – the rules of Purgatory were more fluid than many realized.

“What is making you feel this way, Salazar,” a silky voice cut in. Calliope had joined them, taking a place between Lilith and Jezebel. Her skin glowed like gold beneath a glittering crown of daffodils. The muse changed her appearance daily, yet her essence was always the same. Lilith inhaled deeply, as if taking a breath of fresh air. Calliope was the only one who seemed to ease her persistently brittle personality. She smiled – out of character and out of context. This was a serious conversation.

“They are targeting us…our residents,” Salazar’s voice was sharp. He turned dark eyes to Lilith. “The biker…Axel. Your champion,” he infused the word with sarcasm. “He is…faltering. I fear some dark force is leading him off course.”

Lilith shook her head abruptly. “Back off, Salazar! You’ve had it in for him ever since you heard I’d taken up his cause,” she snapped.

“Perhaps,” Salazar replied coolly. “But that doesn’t detract from the fact that he is not on track.” Lilith frowned. Although she wanted to argue, she couldn’t deny that Axel hadn’t been playing by the rules lately. “He is supposed to be seeking redemption. There is some other agenda afoot. Something that I can’t put my finger on,” said the man she’d come to view as her most worthy adversary.

Calliope sighed, and Jezebel inclined her head slightly. “I’ve felt it too, Lilith,” said the fiery redhead. Like the others, Jezebel often took on different forms, but she never relinquished her flaming mane. There were days that her curls seemed to crackle, like burning embers in a fire. She shook her head now. “My friend, your boy is out of line. I feel it inside me. His energies burn and then wane…like something constantly flickering in and out of my vision. Some days he’s as strong and clear as if he’s standing beside me.
