I couldn’t believe what my friend of so many years was telling me. Surely, he was delusional. He couldn’t be a Descendant of Lucifer. His fatigue had driven him mad. Something. Anything but that.
However, I could see it in his eyes. Adolf was as lucid as ever I had seen him. He was telling the truth. I didn’t understand how it could be, but he was telling me the truth. And he wanted to kill Brody West.
Sadie was focused on her father. I stepped between them fully now, blocking Adolf’s view. Brody wasn’t unconscious. His eyes were open, but he was definitely not able to fight right now.
“What did you do to him?”
Adolf grinned. I could see it in his face now. He was so very much like one of those devils.
“If you knew anything about my father, then you would know one of the powers he had. To kill with a touch.”
“You must not be very good with it then,” I said. “He’ll live.”
“Perhaps,” Adolf said, “for now. But I’m getting better with it. Next time I’ll—”
“There won’t be a next time!” Sadie shouted, calling Malak-esh to her hand. The sword blade became energized like sunlight. “I’ll kill you first!”
But there wasn’t time for anything else between us and him. The werewolves were upon us. Lycans came from everywhere descending upon Adolf and us, ready to kill us all. And with their numbers they might do it.
“To me!” Brody said, trying to get to his knees.
Sadie had managed to do something for his condition following Adolf’s physiologic attack, but he was still weak. He held out his hand to us. Sadie and I took hold.
The Lycans fell upon Adolf as we vanished from the street, adding our power to Brody’s in an effort to escape this city and this realm. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t enough. We appeared upon the shore some distance away from the city. But we were still not far enough.
“Are you all right, Father?” Sadie asked, kneeling down to help him to his feet.
“I’ve been better,” Brody said. Still, he managed to stand with her assistance. I could see it in his eyes though. He had been dealt a worse blow by Adolf than he was letting on for his daughter. He nodded to me. I didn’t pursue his condition for Sadie’s sake. This wasn’t the time. We still had to manage an escape.
The sky was opening up now over the city. I could see the three cherubim separated and bound with mighty chains. The heavenly host had them in custody. They would not escape. Seconds later they vanished, all of them with the three cherubim in tow.
Where they had gone, I could only guess. Tartarus seemed the likely choice, but there was no way to be sure. I wondered for a moment if Black was now there as well. Brody had mentioned killing Ishbe after Black killed Laish.
Good riddance to that foul angel, I thought. If anyone deserved Tartarus, it was him. He had hurt
