After Skye and I portaled back to the academy, I sat in the sanctuary for a good ten minutes just staring at the wall and letting my mind chew on what I’d just learned. The Netherworld didn’t exist until my evil father created it and then rerouted the souls to go there? How much more vile and wicked could someone get?

Skye had poofed out of existence minutes ago, and when I finally dragged my butt outside, I went in search of Gage. Maybe a date night was in order if we could find the time?

I checked the library first and then the gym, but he was nowhere to be found. It wasn’t until I peeked into the third training room that I spotted him. He was sparring with Dash. Both guys were shirtless and had their swords drawn and were going at each other like maniacs.

Be careful! I wanted to shout as I slid into the room, worried Dash would cut an appendage off my nearly-human maybe-boyfriend, but the more I watched the more I wondered just how powerless Gage really was. He was fast, and strong. At one point he landed a boot to Dash’s chest and hurled him across the room with one kick.

What?

Maybe there was some residual Shade power left in him? But as if reminding me that he was stripped of his power in Avalon, Gage turned his back to me. My gaze landed on the two gashes between his shoulder blades where his wings had been taken. They were finally healed over, but the angry twin scars spoke of trauma from Avalon that he’d not yet shared with me.

From his spot on the ground, Dash arched his back and sprang to his feet. For once he was free of his regular hoodie, giving me a rare unimpeded view of his face and upper body. He shook his head, flinging his long hair off his face and revealing the jagged scar that ran down the side of his jawline.

“That all you got?” Gage taunted Dash.

Dash’s muscular physique was similar to Gage’s, so on the surface the pair appeared evenly matched, but as I watched, Dash engaged some of his angel marks—the elegant swirls glowing white over his biceps and upper chest—showcasing his advantage over Gage.

“Game on,” Dash said right before he jolted into motion, moving so fast he blurred. I couldn’t track him, but somehow Gage lifted his weapon in time to intercept Dash’s blow. Sparks flew from where their swords connected.

I gasped. Dash had almost split Gage’s head open. If Gage hadn’t blocked Dash’s strike he’d have been eating steel. Surely this had gotten out of hand.

Gage must have heard my gasp, because even as he pushed back against Dash’s sword with his own, his gaze flicked toward me. That was all the distraction Dash needed to drop low and swipe Gage’s feet out from beneath him.

Gage landed with a thud, and before he could recover Dash stood over him with the tip of his sword pressed against Gage’s throat.
