Dagon took a step away from her after they’d teleported. He hadn’t wanted to bring her here, but Mika needed to talk to Eisheth. There were some things she needed to understand before making her next steps.

“Mika darling,” Eisheth said, glancing from her to Dagon. “To what do I owe this pleasure?”

She inspected his pristine, white loft. It was nice for November. The Southern California weather was so mild most of the time.

“I spoke to Emily, my other cousin.”

The demon actually blushed. “Yes, well. Considering what she told me we decided not to tell anyone. Don’t worry though, love. Kenzie is the only one who actually knows who she is.” He shrugged and closed his book. “Are you here to yell at me?”

Well…

She had been.

Now Mika didn’t know what to think. She slumped into one of his armchairs and Dagon refused to move, still looking uncomfortable.

“I want to yell at you, but I’m too tired.”

Eisheth chuckled and snapped his fingers. The cup he handed her was tea, not alcohol. Mika sniffed the fragrant drink, and then took a sip. It was relaxing and slightly sweet.

“We almost lost today,” Mika told him, holding the cup close. “And it was just a test run.”

“The Morrigan told me you helped her get a lead on Azrael’s whereabouts,” Eisheth said carefully.

“Why me? Why us? Why not all the powerful demons and gods Lucifer has access to? Why not you and the angels? I don’t understand why this is my burden to bear.” Mika set her cup down on the coffee table and sighed, running her hand through her messy hair. “Why not someone more powerful?”

“The angels are a bunch of bastards who forsook earth a long time ago,” Eisheth snapped. “They’re worse than useless and resent humanity. They hate what they consider ‘abominations’ which would be, you guessed it, paranormals.”

“Why?”

“They are not the Christian god’s creations.” Eisheth shrugged. “Most shifters were gifted their animal forms by other gods. Witches are offspring of the gods as well – or created by them. Depends on the god or goddess. They do not like what they call the ‘mutations.’ So, that rules out anyone and everyone in the heaven realm.”

Mika blinked, trying to absorb all that.

Dagon took a step closer to her, as if he sensed some of the tension in the room lessening.

“The demons and hellhounds under Lucifer have already been dispatched. But it’s pointless. They can only patrol hell except where Lucifer has been given permission to show his presence on this plane. As you know, Azrael is not in hell any longer.” Eisheth stirred his tea and took a sip from it, raising an eyebrow at her.

“Then why not Jess?”

“Or Kenzie?” Eisheth countered. “Both are capable.”

“Exactly.” Mika considered the demon. “But Kenzie might not be able to transfer the gift of Death, and Jess is a godkiller. She can’t transfer power either.”

“Right. There are others who may be more powerful than you, but you are one of the few people who can bottle that kind of power safely.
