Constantine was smiling like an idiot, but he couldnât help it. Everything was going just right, including his new relationship with Micah. He had to focus on the video call he was on, though, so he pushed those thoughts away and looked at the two heroes on his screen. âDo you have any more questions?â
The two heroes looked at each other. Theyâd only recently left the conclave, and they were still wary. That was what the video call was for. Constantine had reassured them that theyâd done the right thing by leaving the conclave and that they didnât have to fight against them they didnât want to. He hoped theyâd become fallen heroes, but he wouldnât push them for something they werenât ready to give.
âHow are the fallen heroes different from the conclave?â the woman asked. âThere has to be a leader, right?â
âThere is. Mordred was a hero, and heâs a great person. I realize you donât know him and that youâre wary, but weâve been working hard to keep both humans and supernatural creatures safe. Unfortunately, sometimes, that meant killing heroes, or at the very least, fighting them. It makes us sound like the bad guys, but you know the conclave, maybe better than me since you were working with them until recently. What theyâre doing isnât right.â
âBut how do we know the fallen heroes wonât be worse?â
Constantine leaned forward. âYou canât know for sure, but Mordred has never asked me to kill children. Thatâs why I left the conclave, you know? They asked me to kill a bunch of kids and their mothers, and I couldnât.â
âWhen do you need our answer?â the man asked.
Constantine wished he remembered their names. He looked at the desk, trying to find the piece of paper where heâd written them down, but he couldnât. He supposed it wouldnât matter if they decided to retire and disappear, and if they didnât, well, heâd have time to get to know them.
âAs soon as possible,â he answered. âI know itâs not an easy decision to make, but we wonât stand back for much longer. We canât, not when the conclave is giving worse orders every day.â
Micah wasnât with the conclave anymore, but that wasnât the only way they found out about the conclaveâs orders. An entire tribe of undines had been slaughtered just yesterday. There was not one tribe member alive, and thinking about it made Constantine want to go out there, find the conclave member whoâd given that order, and kill them.
âWeâll talk, and weâll let you know,â the woman promised.
There wasnât much else to say after that, and when they hung up, Constantine leaned back in his chair and briefly closed his eyes. He thought heâd convinced them, but even if he hadnât, at least they werenât working for the conclave anymore. That was two heroes the fallen heroes wouldnât have to fight when the time came, and in the end, that was all that mattered.
Since the meeting was over, he got to his feet and headed out.
