Chapter 7

Dante

I’d only ever come up against one.

One was enough to take me down. All those years ago I foolishly pursued it on my own.

The hell god, Zenith, had sent it from the underworld to wreak havoc on a city of monks who’d been given the Sword of Valor for safe keeping. I pursued it and it was my downfall.

I didn’t assess the situation first.

Malachi and I were assigned to get the beast back to the underworld. I didn’t take the hint that Gabriel had assigned two of his most powerful soldiers.

In life I was always trying to outdo my brother, never wanting to accept he was so much better than me. Malachi was better because he wasn’t an asshole who thought he could rule the world and everyone in it.

In life I tried not to need him, even though I always did. I always ended up relying on him in some form of way because my knucklehead plans always landed me in big trouble.

I never learned even when the lesson waved itself in front of me. I never learned to not make things worse, and also that it was okay to ask for help sometimes.

My attitude blindsided me and made me open to attack.

I wanted to show I could catch the demon on my own. I wanted to show my worth as a sentinel. Show the distinction between myself and the creature who used to be an angel.

When the wraith demon got me, the pain I felt was indescribable.

I’d underestimated it. Something I would never do again.

That was only one of them, before me looked like hundreds.

One had managed to fill me with dark essence. Hundreds would most likely destroy me.

Message received.

The necromancer and Balmora had sent them knowing that was the only thing that could destroy me.

“Dante.” Neo snapped pushing me hard in my shoulder. His skeleton face stared at me long and hard. “Take the girl and go. We’ll keep them off you.”

“You’ll die.” Was all I could say, because I knew they would.

“Maybe, maybe not.” Neo shrugged. “You have to go now.”

“Yes, like pronto, and there’s more bad news.” Zeek called out. The ship rattled as the wraiths came closer. Zeek had a shield up, but it wasn’t holding. I could see the sparks of light bouncing against it as the wraiths crashed in the barrier trying to break through.

“What else is happening?”

“Portals sealed. You can’t get to the Shadowlands the way we thought.”

“Fuck, what do you mean?”

“It’s sealed. We can’t see it. You’ll have to teleport off here, we’re just over Aestas.”

Fuck, why did I bother thinking things couldn’t get worse?

“Our magic will be shit in Aestas.” The whole fucking place designed by that the Elf Queen was a mess. I avoided the place like the plague. Our magic wouldn’t just be a mess, we would be too.

It was different from being in the Shadowlands.

There, I knew what to expect.

Aestas on the other hand was unpredictable. Completely unpredictable.

Unpredictable was not good.

“Now Dante. If these creatures get to you there will be no hope for anyone.
