By her mere appearance, Ashe had quickly diffused what had been about to become a life-and-death battle between Darren and Prime Saint Horon.

“How are you here? I thought you were destroyed, and your remains corrupted into a demon?” Horon asked.

“For a time, I was a demon. But Darren here cured me. Well, mostly. I have to use his sword for my body because my true body is in Kalaziel’s clutches, along with the bulk of my old power,” Ashe explained.

Horon looked at Darren with new eyes. “You can heal someone corrupted by the Lady of Darkness? How remarkable. What realm are you from, warrior?”

Darren didn’t really know how to answer that question. He shrugged. “I was born in Whiteguard, but I call Limedeep home.”

Horon’s brows scrunched tight. “Whiteguard? Limedeep? But those are both in the Sacred Seas.”

Darren nodded.

“Darren is from the Sacred Seas, though he spent a lot of time fighting demons in the Seven Hells,” Ashe explained. “If you’ve been watching the mortal world over the past year, you’d have heard of him.”

Horon grimaced. “I’m afraid there has been far too much going on in the Heavens to divert my attention to mortal matters. Doubly so now that the ophanim can’t be trusted to be impartial. I suppose I will have to take your word that he is indeed from the Sacred Seas, not that such origins change much if he allies himself with Kalaziel. He has many exceptional human subordinates, as of late.”

Ashe shook her head. “Darren doesn’t work for Kalaziel. Far from it. In all the Sacred Seas, you’ll find no mortal man who’s caused our wayward brother more trouble than Darren Heavengrace.”

Horon’s eyes lit. “Heavengrace, you say?”

Darren nodded.

Ashe continued to speak with Horon, and eventually, the Prime Saint put away his sword. Darren did the same a moment later, and the two of them shook hands.

“You fight well,” Darren said.

Horon smiled. “And your pectorals are quite impressive for a mortal. Very defined. If our fight had been recorded, I’m sure it would fetch hundreds of thousands of views from adoring ladies everywhere.”

“...Thanks?” Darren wasn’t quite sure how to respond to that. While he was no stranger to female attention, he’d never gone searching for it. He had enough women as it was.

Ashe blushed. “...Yeah... if it was recorded... I’m pretty sure I saw someone by the tunnel exit recording everything, so if you see a video online, it definitely wasn’t me.”

“Wait, and you didn’t tag me?” Horon looked aghast, while Darren looked confused.

“Anyway!” Ashe abruptly turned to Gaviel on the ground. “Darren needs to bring this guy back to life before he’s dead for good. Please don’t interrupt him while he uses his resurrection skill.”

Darren raised Captain Gaviel from the dead. He sat upward, wheezing and coughing as he fought to steady himself.

When he opened his eyes, he became even more confused than Darren was. Around him were piles of debris, several dead seraphim, his shirtless boss, another Prime Saint chatting next to him, and a man who looked familiar but felt entirely alien to his senses.
