Gregory picked me up a few blocks away and teleported me back home. I had a shit-ton of stuff to tell him, so I grabbed us a couple of beers and pulled him down on the sofa beside me.

“We’ve got a problem,” I said as soon as I popped the cap off my beverage. “There is probably more than one company creating magical weapons to sell to human governments and individuals.”

“So, this Blue Fire and whoever sold those guns to the police in Phoenix?” the angel asked. “I’ve seen what that weapon in Phoenix did. Tell me about the ones this sorcerer’s company is creating.”

“The majority of them can strip an angel, or demon, of their powers for a set period of time. The purpose of this is so the humans can incarcerate them for violating their laws. Gareth claims there’s an antidote to negate the effect. Depending on the weapon, it should eventually wear off. The one they nailed me with in the lobby of their building only lasted an hour, but some are designed to keep going for a few hundred years. I get the feeling none of the antidotes have been tested and that Gareth has no idea how long the effects might really last.”

“That’s not so bad,” Gregory mused. “I know the humans are very concerned about having no ability to defend themselves against angels. This might put them at ease, and convince some of our more intractable angels to follow human law.”

That was not what I’d expected him to say.

“Here’s the worse part,” I continued. “Blue Fire is finalizing a weapon that can kill angels. And demons, but there are already human weapons that can kill us if we can’t reform our physical bodies fast enough. This…I’m worried this might be a weapon that could even kill an archangel.”

He chuckled, leaned over and kissed the top of my head. “Nothing kills an archangel.”

“Devouring,” I countered.

“It’s the galaxy I’m concerned about you devouring, Cockroach. Not me or one of my siblings.”

“That’s not true. I’m young. Give me a few hundred thousand years and I’ll bet I could devour the whole bunch of you and not even pause to take a breath.”

“Yes, but you won’t.” He brushed his spirit-self against mine. “I have complete faith that you won’t do that.”

“You said once that you thought I was the one who would begin the apocalypse,” I reminded him.

He shrugged. “Look around you, Cockroach. This is the apocalypse by heavenly standards.”

He had a point.

“Either way, there is something that can kill an archangel. And I’m willing to bet there are other things you haven’t thought of that might be able to kill even a being as powerful as you.”

He smiled and shook his head. “These are humans we’re discussing. I’ll admit they’ve done a dismaying amount of damage with the gifts we angels gave them, but they are nowhere near advanced enough to come up with a weapon that would destroy an archangel.”

“Even with the help of elven magic?” I asked.
