Chapter 7: Love and Separation

“That was some move you pulled off when we got here,” Jan called. No smile lifted her lips but pure respect carried with each word. It had taken them two hours to clean up the mess. In total, five angels had ascended to heaven to sit forever beside the Lord God Almighty. Franklin and two of his companions from England; along with Dustin Hagler and Katy Tipton – both Justice Ministers. Another angel had his arm ripped out at the shoulder joint. John would never forget the sight of his blanched face and the torn, bloody flesh.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Ed added in his deep voice with an improving nod. “You about knocked the whole building down. I thought you’d killed yourself, but you came out of it without a scratch. Fly right through a wall… I’ll have to remember that the next time I’m in a hurry to get somewhere.”

John shrugged as he watched three Justice Ministers carry the peaceful bodies of their downed companions. So much death and tragedy; all because of the lust and greed of Lucifer who had brought sin to the world and started the Great War.

“We’re going through the gate to London tonight,” Jan continued. “We need to meet with the Ministers there to see what’s going on. We don’t want their troubles spreading here. If this group joined with Charles and the Nightwalkers, we’d have a major problem.”

Behind her, Aaron climbed through one of the gaping holes in the concrete wall. With his right arm, he helped a limping Xavier. The Spirit had done its work to heal the angel’s injuries, but pain remained on his face. A thick scar was now carved across his cheek.

“Let us know what they say,” Aaron said. “Hopefully those two were some of their main assassins.” He motioned over his shoulder with his head. John knew he was talking about Rodrigo and the other dead fallen angel. He watched the leader of his group with newfound respect. The blazing swords of Aaron and Rodrigo kindled in his memory. A tough, deadly fight. One that he wasn’t sure he would have survived if he’d been in Aaron’s place. “Hopefully Charles and his group won’t be a big problem,” Aaron sighed. “We can’t have many more fights like that. Lucifer can spare losing a couple of hundred demons. We can’t keep losing angels like this. We’re spread thin as it is.”

“Amen,” Xavier breathed and stood tall on his own weight.

The vision, from when he was healing Xavier, pulsed in John’s head. It had seemed so… strange. An eerie calmness in the midst of violence and death. He relaxed and let the Spirit reach into the deepest parts of his mind. There was Xavier standing and watching Aaron struggle against Rodrigo and the other fallen angel. The reidlos were hovering at the edge of the blurry images. Not attacking, but hissing and snapping. Ready to strike death, but waiting to charge.

John pressed, but as before, the vision swirled and switched to the horrific scene of Sherry’s death.
