A mini-twister disturbed the still air. It instantly stopped spinning, and Uriel, Raziel, Raphael, and Gabriel—an impossibly beautiful female angel with shoulder-length, copper-colored hair—emerged from its center. They turned to Michael, who always looked intimidating. Well muscled and around ten feet tall, Michael also towered over the others. The angels stood on the edge of a desolate mountain in the part of the Ether that belonged to Lucifer. Rocks were all around them, as nothing green grew here. It resembled a desert after a nuclear bomb had exploded—dead beyond dead. Michael turned to the other archangels.

“I wanted all of you to see this. There is great commotion down below,” Michael told the others, speaking mind to mind.

He nodded to the flat, barren wasteland below. The others followed his gaze and saw the land move as if there were waves beneath the surface. Though muffled, the shrieks and cries coming out of the dirt were almost deafening. An intermittent glow of red covered the rolling land, making it appear to be made of volcanic hot spots.

“How many do you think he will release?” Uriel asked Michael with concern.

Michael caught Uriel’s eyes. “All of them.”

Uriel’s chin slumped to his chest.

“But Vero’s only a fledgling,” Raphael said.

“He’s becoming more and more powerful,” Uriel said. “He can summon now.”

“Impressive,” Gabriel said.

Raziel shook his head. Michael read his thoughts.

“No, Raziel, do not blame yourself,” Michael said. “This is meant to be.”

Raziel slowly nodded.

“We are to trust.”

“I do trust,” Raziel said.

“Then what is it?”

“I’ve resented the boy,” Raziel said, his eyes down in apparent shame.

“Vero?” Gabriel asked.

“Yes. I lost the book. I should be the one who is in danger. What I did a long time ago has put Vero in harm’s way . . . I allowed myself to be fooled by Solomon when he switched the gem in his ring and sent the book away. I should be the one to correct my mistake.”

“As I would like to correct mine,” Uriel said, recalling his lack of judgment that allowed the serpent into the garden. “But He has forgiven us.”

“This is a chance to make things right,” Raphael said.

“Which is why we must do everything we can to ensure Vero does not fail,” Michael said. “Because there will not be another chance.”

A pit formed in Raziel’s gut as his eyes drifted out to the land below. The red, glowing ground was seething—it was only a matter of time before it would burst open.
