Frustration overwhelmed me as I looked at my desk. I shoved the new photos aside. Last night, demons had attacked another shifter. When his friends found him, he was barely alive, and he hadn’t woken up. He might be our first break in the case in a week. Georgina, the psychic, was still missing. The morning after finding Sasha as a ghost, Atieno and I went to Georgina’s shop only to find a Closed sign. Ariel, the shop owner next door, said Georgina had a family emergency, and she didn’t know when she would be back.

“He’ll be awake soon,” Mike said as he sat in the chair in front of my desk. I had officially accepted the job as lieutenant on Friday last week. The chief of police had been in my office every day since then asking how close we were to solving the case. Paxdon was still with Grandma, but nobody had shown up again to attack her.

The police department hummed with energy. The area outside my office was filled with detectives working each angle of the case. The media had taken the story and caused panic in the city. The bars had seen a decline in tourists over the weekend, and they were demanding the police department find the killer. Luckily, the last attack hadn’t made the news.

Atieno had gone to the shifter’s house and was waiting for him to wake up. Mike and I came back to the department to look over the case files again. We could only find evidence of the strange symbol at the second scene.

“Take a look at this.” Mike said as he pushed a book across my desk. He pointed to a picture in the middle of the book. It was a tall man with a black cape and hood. The warlock wore the same mask as the person in my vision. Under the picture, the name Hecate, goddess of witchcraft, and Synth Zorander, destructor, labeled the figures.

I flipped to the next page and skimmed the information. Hecate and Synth tried to take over the universe. They found the Sword of Eternity and tried to kill Fate. The only way to end a god’s life was with the Sword of Eternity. They were stopped before anyone was killed. The gods decided to exile them but not together.

“Why does this sword even exist?”

Mike leaned back in his chair. “From what I’ve been told, it’s under better protection now. They don’t want to destroy the sword. It might be needed one day.” He pointed to the page again. “I think Synth escaped exile. I think he showed up at Curly’s house after Curly died and took his essence. When I arrived at the scene, Curly felt off. I couldn’t sense his animal.”

“He was dead.”

“It was more than that. I think Synth took a part of him. He’s going to keep doing this until he has his powers back. Going after you and your grandma would’ve given him great strength, but his creatures aren’t strong enough yet.
