ââThe last chosen soldier of God must visit death upon his brother before a holy champion can rise and the final battle for Earth can begin,ââ Jax read.
âThatâs it?â I asked.
Bailey nodded and used the earpiece of her reading glasses to scratch the back of her head. âPropheciesâaccurate ones anyhowâare usually pretty short and to the point.â
âYou donât have any notes or alternate translations?â Jax asked. He held up the water-stained notebook paper and tapped the single line of blue writing. âWhat about historical context, idioms, anything? This is pretty clean as far as straight-from-the-oven translations go.â
Bailey shrugged. âThis copy was recovered near the old Baumeyer cabinââ
Jax interpreted for me, âWhere Colt was living, before the whole thing with Mikal.â
âRight,â Bailey said. âWhich I guess is at least one type of irony, considering Brandt and Raelyn nicknamed it the Whitney Death Prophecy. Anyway, Rian brought it in because Mayor Dark wanted it authenticated. We have the original on file in the server here, and since itâs obviously Sancatiââ
âObviously,â Jax said.
Bailey pointed at the paper with her glasses.
âDonât get smart with me, Ajax, look at the text,â she said. âTheyâre one of the few ancient divining sects that used the more earthly âsoldierâ instead of âwarrior.â The Sancati wrote in a coarse language so there wouldnât be any confusion to future generations.â
âFucking accommodating,â Jax said, which is pretty much what I was thinking.
âI always did like their practicality and foresight,â Bailey said. Then she smiled at us like she couldnât understand why we werenât laughing. âForesight? No one?â She shrugged. âI thought it was good.â
I looked at Jax.
âCan you cross-reference stuff?â I asked. âLike use words in this prophecy to bring up other stuff youâve memorized?â
âLetâs do it,â he said. He closed his eyes and the lids started flickering like someone lost in a dream. âHit on the Hell Windows. They ârecount the story of the angel who led the rebellion in Heaven. He was cast to Earth where he will bring forth the legions, then rise up against the chosen armies of God in the final battle for Earth. Kathan is represented as a king of earth in these accounts (reference: Whitney papers) and Mikal as his second in command, keeper of the Sword of Judgment.â Thatâs it.â
âSword of Judgment?â I said. âThat sounds pretty serious.â
âYeah, if you think a fiery sword that can send any being, human or NP, to its final destinationâi.e. Heaven or Hellâis serious,â Jax said. âItâs kind of what makes Mikal such a badass.â
I didnât laugh.
âCome on,â he said, bumping my arm. âIâm just trying to make it go down a little easier.â
âSorry. I guess I donât research well with others,â I said. âI like to lock on, you know?â
âThen youâre in luck,â Jax said. âThereâs nothing more locked-on than the Whitney papers. Toughâs dad wrote them back when he first started that whole thing with Kathan. The guy was pretty longwindedâeven for a preacher.â
I remembered. Iâd read some of Daniel Whitneyâs work when Tempie started getting interested in fallen angels.
