Lugus turned his face to the sky. He stood where Nail had hit the Fragment. He had been so close. Sending Nail back to Mikel with the news that he had failed, rested bitterly within him. He didn't turn as he felt the air shift, announcing Vega’s arrival. “What do you want, demon?”

“I merely came to see if you could use my assistance.” Vega strolled over to where the Fragment stood last. Crouching down, she placed a hand to the pavement. She absorbed the lingering energy, tasting it, “Hmm, very impressive.”

Lugus watched as the demon studied the ground. “I do not need your assistance.”

“Oh I disagree. Twice now you had the Fragment within your reach. You had enough man power, and yet, Finn and a mere mortal woman were able to escape.”

Lugus growled, and took a few steps in her direction. The desire to lash out at her strong, the last thing he needed was Vega pointing out the obvious.

Unimpressed, Vega held up a hand, stopping his movement with an invisible shield. Her exaggerated yawn let him know that it had taken little effort to hold him back “I may be indebted to Mikel, but you’d be wise to remember, I owe no such loyalty to you.” Bringing her hand down, Vega continued, “Why persist on using those useless puppets of Mikel's? Bringing along Nial was a brilliant strategy, but he’s nothing more than a hard headed brute, no finesse, certainly not a match for Agrona's warriors. What you need is heavier artillery—I can provide that for you.”

He was instantly suspicious. “I find it difficult to believe that you have come to offer your aid without a price, demon.”

She gave him a smile that reminded him of a bed of snakes. “While it’s true that we demons relish in ill gained rewards, there will be no price—this time.” Walking up to him, she let her fingers caresses his chest, feeling his reaction to her touch. “By joining forces, you and I can give Agrona's warriors a battle they'll never forget.” She made a pouting sound. “I know you dislike me Lugus, but surely you know just how much I can do.” Her voice dropped into a mesmeric purr. “Those women, they have what should be ours—the powers are from our world, and you know Mikel doesn’t like to share.”

Lugus knew what the demon was doing. And though he loathed her, and her kind, it was difficult to not be affected by her looks and seductive nature. If he gained the Fragments, he could have the power of the ancients. Once the idea took root, it began to flourish. Nothing would be able to stop him. The idea hooked into his soul. “Finn thinks he can hide the Fragment, but I can find them.” When Vega’s eyes lit up with unholy glee, Lugus knew he had just signed his own death warrant. However, he found that he didn’t care. In the beginning, the promises Mikel had given him soothed his battered soul, like a salve for the wounds of grief.
