If you've every sighed over a sexy romance hero and wondered what he'd be like in real life--well, I've got news for you. It might not turn out to be quite what you think. That's what happens to Raye Munroe.</h4>
<i>Raye loves </i><i>Ian</i><i>, her accountant husband, but running a business together sucks up all their time, drains their bank account, and tosses ice cubes on their sexy times. These days the only romance in Raye's life comes courtesy of her favorite romance novel hero, Highlander Kieran MacDonald. </i><i><br /></i>
<i>When an impulsive wish combines with a wee bit of Scots magic, Ian disappears and Kieran--in the flesh!--takes Ian's place. Did Raye get what she wanted? Or more than she bargained for? </i><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Arthur had found his mother’s
touchstone.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He took a quick step backward, as if needing
to distance himself from the immensity of his achievement. His foot slipped on
the moss; he only just managed not to fall. He staggered to the center of the
garden and dropped heavily onto a stone bench. Long moments passed before his
breathing slowed and his stomach settled. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He examined the stone with shaking
hands. A three-rayed star shone within a translucent blue moonstone. The carved
apple wood setting resembled an intricate tangle of vines. An unbroken silver
chain passed through the carving. A distant memory called—Arthur’s own this
time. He was in his mum’s arms, swatting at the stone. He’d wanted it for
himself. His mum had laughed and said it was not yet time. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Well, it was past time now. He dropped
the chain over his head. He might have searched for a new touchstone for his
magic, but this one, passed down through generations of his line, was the best
tool to focus his magic. Now that he’d found it, he would...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He frowned. His goal was...what,
precisely? The image of a woman—blond, tall, eyes like jade—appeared in his
head. She was waiting for him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But who was she? <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Where </i>was she? Why did it matter so damn much? Sod it all, he
couldn’t remember. His ancestors’ memories were murky rubbish. Memories of his
childhood, however, were unfortunately clear. His gaze darted to the house. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Leave, </i>screamed the voice of his
terrified younger self. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Leave.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He was halfway to the door before he
even realized he was in motion. He was on the front step before his brain
registered a protest. He flung open the door and stepped into a narrow hall.
Parlor and dining room to the right, library to the left. He strode straight
ahead into the kitchen.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The shock of it hit him like a slap
across the face. The room was in shambles—furniture overturned, floor strewn
with shattered glass. Cabinets hung open. The calendar above the icebox, stuck
to the wall with a tack, hung askew. His mother’s valise, the one with the embroidered
roses, stood upright by the door.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Dark splatters covered it all. Floor,
walls, furniture, even the ceiling. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Blood.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He didn’t know what he’d expected, but
it wasn’t this. Nothing had changed, except that his parents’ corpses no longer
lay in a heap on the floor. Mab must have disposed of the bodies. Maybe she’d
returned to search for his mother’s moonstone. Luckily, she hadn’t found it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Mab hadn’t killed his parents, but
she’d shown up soon afterward. She’d claimed Tristan’s diamond touchstone right
off his dead body. It had become a decoration on her whip handle. For seven
years, each time Arthur had seen his father’s gem, each time he’d felt the lash
of the whip’s hellfire, his hatred of his clan’s new alpha had burned hotter.
Maybe that was why, while the rest of his brain seemed to have turned to muck,
his memory of Mab remained clear. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The farmhouse table lay on its side, a
rusty smear slashing across the spot where Arthur had eaten his daily porridge.
On the floor nearby, a larger stain marked the place where his parents’ bodies
had fallen. Their blood, dead and dry, was all that was left of them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Anger and grief, helplessness and
hopelessness, rushed in on him. A high-pitched tone rang in his ears. The
shriek escalated with each labored breath. It twisted inside his skull, scraped
through his brain. He pressed shaking hands to his ears. No good. The noise was
inside his head.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His stomach turned. Wave after wave of
unreality assaulted him. Everything around him turned...strange. Unreal. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Where was he? </i>He looked wildly about the
room. Enamel sink, copper counter, oak table. Stained floor. Suddenly, none of
it looked familiar.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sweat broke out on his forehead. Where
was he? How had he gotten here? Why had he come? Acid panic burned in his
veins.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Get
out. Get out now.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And go where? He couldn’t think of a place.
He didn’t, he realized with lurching dread, even know his own name. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Who
the hell was he? What was he?</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Air.
He needed air. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He crossed to a window. The glass was
muddy. He grasped the sash and shoved. It didn’t budge. He looked closer. What
he’d thought was mud was blood. A thousand droplets of dried blood. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He balled his fist and smashed the
glass. A jagged edge sliced his thumb. He staggered back, staring at the crimson
trail running down his forearm. His heart banged. His lungs worked like a
bellows. The blood ran to his elbow. Dripped to the floor. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Crouching
in the garden, peering in the window. A tall man, a Nephil. Pale and gaunt. The
hem of his black cape brushed his knees, the edges of its crimson lining like streaks
of blood. A ring on his left middle finger bore a golden face as its signet. It
looked like its wearer... Lips pursing, eyes blinking...</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Dark
gold hellfire, whipping from the Nephil’s hands, sharp as a blade. Slicing
through Father’s neck. Blood spurting. Spattering the window. Father’s body,
crumpling. Falling, falling... </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
murderer and his ring, both smiling... </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The scream began in Arthur’s gut. It
pummeled a path from his diaphragm, to his ribs, to his throat. His lungs
sucked air. His mouth opened, but his cry emerged in silence. Living, shaking
silence, vibrating so fiercely his tendons threatened to separate from his
bones. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Power streamed through his body. It
blasted from his hands. Pure white light, consuming everything in its path. The
kitchen, its contents, its memories. For an eternity, or perhaps only for an
instant, there was nothing but brilliance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And then there was only nothing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He fell as if dropped by an unseen hand
from a great height. His hip struck something solid and pain shot down his leg.
He lurched to his feet. His knees buckled. He grabbed the edge of the sink. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Long moments later, he righted a fallen
chair and lowered himself into it, rubbing the lingering pain in this thigh.
When his breathing had slowed and his heart was no longer pounding like a drum,
he stood. He looked—really looked—at the room around him. And froze.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His brain struggled to make sense of
what his eyes saw—or, more accurately, what they didn’t see. His parents’
blood—on the floor, on the table, on the window—had vanished. The squealing
echo in his skull was gone, too. Silence—pure and ominous—remained.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He passed his hand down his face. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">What the fuck was going on? </i>He’d done
magic again, without planning, without knowing, without even being aware of it
until it was over. Once again, his memory had failed, reducing his life to
dark, ragged gaps. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It wasn’t the first time he’d blacked
out since his Ordeal. Far from it. His time as a Nephil adept could be
described as a few islands of lucidity engulfed by a sea of darkness. Simple
exhaustion? A natural learning curve? Insanity? With no guide to teach him, he
couldn’t know.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His fingers closed on the moonstone.
He’d pinned all his hopes on the gem. While he could use any stone as a focus
to his magic, a gem handed down through one’s own ancestral line offered the
greatest advantage. He’d hoped his mother’s stone would end his blackouts. But
here it was, in his possession, and he was no better off than before.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Coming so abruptly back to himself, to
the aftermath of magic he couldn’t remember calling, left him on the edge of
panic. And there was something else...or, rather, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">someone</i> else, wavering indistinctly in the back his mind. His own
memory? A fragment of a long-dead ancestor’s past? Whichever it was, the jade-eyed
woman never wandered far from his awareness. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He heaved the table upright. It teetered,
then thudded into place. Roaming the kitchen, he set chairs on their legs and retrieved
fallen cookware. He swept up shattered crockery and emptied it into the rubbish
bin. He <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">would</i> remember, he told
himself. He had to. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He stacked two chairs, broken beyond
repair, in a corner of the room. He placed his mother’s valise, unopened, beside
them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His head jerked up. Fine hairs lifted
on the back of his neck. The noise was slight. Nothing more than a faint creak
on the back stair. Every muscle tensed. His palms tingled. He shifted onto the
balls of his feet, listening. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Footsteps, descending. Pausing. Someone—or
something—was in the house. A cold drip of sweat trickled down the side of his
face. Mab? No. The Druid alpha would never sneak. But who else could have
gotten through her wardings? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The back stair gave out in a corner of
the kitchen. Arthur moved toward it on silent feet, mentally tracing the
intruder’s path. Nine steps down from the upper hall to the landing. A tight
turn then another ten steps down to the kitchen. Once on that lower stretch, his
descending quarry would be effectively trapped. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He inhaled. Druid magic, cast with any
measure of control, felt impossible. Magic common to all Nephil clans, however,
seemed much more doable. Shifting into demon form, even that first, harrowing
time, had been instinctive. Casting hellfire also came fairly easily. He only had
to think of it to have it spring, burning, to his fingertips. Actually aiming
it at a target was more of a challenge. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A creak sounded in the stairwell. The
intruder had resumed his descent, with a cautious footstep on the landing.
Another pause. Another squeaking tread. A figure appeared...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Arthur surged up the steps. With a snap
of his wrists, hissing fire streaked into the narrow passage. His aim was pitiful.
One white streak hit the ceiling. The other struck the wall. The recoils
bounced, whip-like, to wind about his adversary’s neck. Arthur leaped back, stumbling
down the stair, pulling the firelashes with him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His captive bounced down the last three
steps and landed hard at his feet. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was a woman. A blond woman, dressed
in blue jeans and a flowery, flowing blouse. She gagged, clawing at the
hellfire wrapped around her throat. Her eyes—wide and jade green—met his. Her
lips parted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Arthuuuuuuur—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Recognition slammed into his brain.
Followed by pure, primal terror. </span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Fuck!”</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He dropped to his knees. He hauled
Cybele into his arms even before he’d managed to banish the last sputter of his
hellfire. Her body sagged across his thighs. Her eyes rolled up, and her head
lolled to one side. She went limp.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“No,” he rasped. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“No.”</i> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He ran a shaking hand over her head,
her shoulder. He flattened his palm against her chest. Her heart was beating. He
clung to the sensation. The rhythm was rapid and none too steady. His own heart
stuttered.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Was she breathing? His firelash had
left an angry red welt across her throat. It didn’t look like he’d crushed her
windpipe. But her chest...it wasn’t moving.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Damn it. <i>Damn</i> it. <i>Fucking</i>
damn it.” He grasped her shoulder and shook. Nothing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He tried again, harder. Her head
snapped forward. A rasping sound—her lungs abruptly sucked air. Her spine
arched with the force of it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Arthur’s rush of relief was so intense,
it caused black spots to dance before his eyes. Cybele’s exhale shuddered out
of her lungs. He froze, waiting. An eternity passed before the next breath
came.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“That’s it.” He held her tightly and rocked
her back and forth on his lap. If he’d had a soul, he might’ve even uttered a
prayer. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Breathe, damn it. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Breathe.</i>” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Perhaps Heaven was watching. If so, he
was sure it was laughing. Cybele’s third breath was a choking gasp. Fear closed
Arthur’s throat. His arms were banded around her ribs. Too tightly? He forced
himself to loosen his hold.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He lowered her onto the floor. Her lips
parted. With trembling hands, he cupped her face. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Come on,” he muttered. “Come on...”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She sucked in a breath, and then expelled
it in a bout of fierce coughing. He rolled her onto her side and pounded between
her shoulder blades. When at last the hacking subsided, he eased her onto her
back. She was definitely breathing. But her chest rose and fell in an erratic
rhythm. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Cybele.” She gave no indication she’d
heard. “God damn it, Cybele! Wake up.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This time, her eyelids fluttered. He
tensed, willing them to open. They didn’t. Her complexion was deathly pale, her
lips a faint shade of blue. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fuck.</i> Her
hands were like ice. The red stripe across her neck might as well have been a
lash against his own back.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He couldn’t bear to look at what he’d
done to her. He gathered her into his lap and cradled her head against his
chest. She shivered. His ran his hands up and down her arms, generating
friction. If he could have brought her right inside him and given her all his
heat, he would have done it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A sick feeling settled in his chest. He’d
remembered Mab, that bloody bitch, but somehow, he’d forgotten Cybele. How the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">hell</i> could she have left his mind, even
for an instant? She meant everything to him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Don’t you dare die,” he muttered. “Don’t
you <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">dare.</i>”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He didn’t know how to heal with his
magic. He tried anyway, pouring all the life energy he could muster into her
body. His effort seemed to help. Her shuddering abated. The blue tinge of her
lips yielded to a pale pink. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Her next inhale was less of a gasp and
more of a wheeze. Her lips parted. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Not...dying.” Her eyelids fluttered
open. Their gazes locked. “Not even...close.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He swallowed. “Are you sure?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Harder...to kill...than tha—” Another coughing
fit took her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Bollocks,” he muttered. “Not again.”
He urged her to sit up and lean forward, his hand on her nape.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She held up one finger. “Just...give me...a
sec.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The coughing abated. Her hand fluttered
downward, as if it weighed too much for her arm to support. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Take your time,” he said. “Take all
the time you need.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She nodded. Several long moments passed.
Finally, she raised her head. “Better,” she said. “I think.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He examined her more closely. When his gaze
fell on her neck, he tasted bile. He might have killed her with his blind
strike. If he had proper control of his magic, she wouldn’t have stood a
chance. His mind started to run with the scenario. Ruthlessly, he choked it off.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She’s
not dead,</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
he told himself. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Not. Dead. Not dead, not
dead, not dead. </i>Color had flooded her cheeks. Her breathing was still uneven,
though. He grabbed her wrist and pressed the pulse point. Weak. He frowned into
her eyes. Her pupils were dilated.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She blinked up at him. “Dang it, Arthur.
Quit looking at me like that.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His chest eased a fraction. If she had
enough energy to tell him off, she wasn’t dying quite yet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Don’t look at you like what? Like you’re
bloody lucky to be alive? Sweet Lucifer, Cybele, what were you doing, sneaking
down those steps? You scared the piss out of me!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“<i>I </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">scared <i>you</i></span>? What about me? Next time try looking before
you attack.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Rubbish. You should’ve let me know it
was you.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Her green eyes flashed. “Give me some
credit. I’d have to be dumber’n a bag of rocks to call out before I knew...”
She sucked in a breath. “...before I knew—it was y—” She dissolved into another
round of coughing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Fuck. I’m sorry. You’re right. It’s my
fault.” When she started to reply, he shook his head. “Quiet. Don’t talk. Just
breathe.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She pressed a fist to her chest and
nodded. When the coughing finally stopped, she looked up and offered a wry
smile. “You know, I think that’s the first time you ever apologized to me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He snorted. “Don’t accustom yourself.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“No chance of that,” she said.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Michael turned his phone sideways. The video enlarged to
fill the screen, but it was barely an improvement. He couldn’t quite make out
exactly how the three human males were connected to the two human females.
Frustrated, he backtracked and started another video. This one showed only two
males, not a female in sight. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Interesting. How many different ways
could there possibly be for humans to copulate?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Abomination!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The phone slipped from his grip and
went flying into blue sky. It exploded overhead. A shower of sparks rained
down. Each tiny light disappeared into the cloud under his feet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Michael regarded his brother sourly. “F-f-f...<i>fuck</i>
it!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was difficult, almost painful, to
form human profanity on his tongue. He wasn’t even sure he’d be able to get it
out until he heard the syllable explode from his lips. It gave him an odd
feeling—energized and strangely satisfied. He sat up and grinned.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael regarded him with undisguised
horror. “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">What </i>did you say?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Want me to say it again?”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“In the name of all that’s holy, no!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gabriel, who was inspecting his
fingernails while seated atop a nearby puff of mist, fluttered his silver wings
and snorted. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael cast a baleful eye upon him. “Don’t
you start, too.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Who, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">moi?</i>” Gabe looked up, all wide-eyed and innocent. “Why, I wouldn’t
dream of it! There’s certainly no reason for me to get involved just because
you can’t control Michael.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“It’s got nothing to do with control,”
Raphael said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gabriel stood. “Come now, brother.” Grasping
his walking stick in his left hand, he smoothed the lapel of his linen suit
with his right. “Angels aren’t supposed to lie. Archangels, least of all.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The darkest thundercloud could not have
rivaled Raphael’s expression for pure fury. His robes whipped around his legs
as if buffeted by gale-force winds. His hand landed on the hilt of his sword. “Are
you accusing me of falsehood?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“If the sandal fits,” Gabe said,
cheekily ignoring the oncoming storm. Fingers spread, he frowned down at his
left hand. Sighing, he propped his walking stick up against a tuft of cloud and
snapped his fingers. An emery board appeared. With the virtuosity of an artist,
he applied it to the offending fingernail.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael glowered. “Insolent brat.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Insufferable bore,” Gabe replied.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Michael sat back on his cloud, content
to watch his siblings quarrel. Raphael would win, of course. Eventually. Until
then, Gabriel could drag out a squabble from here to eternity.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His brothers could not be more
different. Raphael, eldest, was the golden boy, with shoulder-length blond hair
and a blindingly handsome face. He was, in Michael’s private opinion, the
pompous back end of a donkey. If he’d ever seen Raphael wearing anything but
sun-bright robes, gold-wrought sandals, and a gilded, belted scabbard—Sword of
Righteous Vengeance sheathed threateningly inside—Michael could not remember
it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gabriel, the middle brother, was pale.
Skin white as parchment, eyes silver-grey. He invariably dressed in a white
linen suit, white-on-white striped shirt, skinny silver tie, and white shoes
and socks. His hair was clipped short and was—surprise!—pure as driven snow. He
carried a white, silver-handled walking stick. A pair of diamond stud earrings,
set in platinum, gleamed in his lobes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The argument went on. And on. And <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">on</i>. Bored, Michael snapped his fingers.
A new smart phone appeared in his hand. He bent his head over the screen and
occupied himself scrolling through website after website. He just couldn’t get
enough of this human porn thing. The Earth’s Internet was full of it! And cats.
For some reason, always cats. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He was so absorbed in his...erm...research
of the human realm that he didn’t notice the altercation had ended until a
shadow fell over him. He looked up to find Raphael staring him down. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“May I help you?” Michael inquired.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“What,” his brother intoned, “is that
infernal human device?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Michael quickly shoved the phone into
the back pocket of his jeans. “It’s called a smart phone. Almost all humans
have one. They carry them everywhere.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Whatever for?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“To connect with each other. Send
messages and trade pictures and videos and...shit.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael did his baleful eye thing
again. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Michael shrugged.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Hmph.” Raphael waved a hand. “Humans
would be far better served by casting off their...what did you call them?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Smart phones.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Humans would be far better served
casting off their smart phones and speaking directly to Heaven.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I’m sure that would be ideal,” Michael
hedged, “but I can tell you it’s not likely to happen this millennium. The next
millennium looks doubtful, too. From what I’ve seen, humans aren’t all that
interested in celestial matters. Sin consumes them. It’s really very
interesting—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I sent you to Earth to fight sin,”
Raphael said tightly. “Not to wallow in it.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I have to know my audience,” Michael
protested. “Humans are very emotional. They’ll fight about anything. Power,
money, parking spaces—you name it! And if they’re not fighting, they’re fu—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Stop! I’m thinking you’ve come to know
your audience far too well.” Raphael looked Michael up and down. “And what in
Heaven’s name are you wearing? Where are your celestial robes?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gone.</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Michael found
denim pants to be surprisingly comfortable. He’d shrunk his righteous sword
down to a deadly six-inch switchblade, now hidden in his sleeve. He was equally
pleased with his Doc Martens and the frogged military jacket he’d picked up in
a vintage shop in SoHo. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“You don’t have a problem with Gabe’s
Earth garb,” he said. “What’s wrong with mine?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“You’re wearing black!” Raphael
exclaimed. “What kind of self-respecting angel wears black? And hides his
wings?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“One that’s undercover,” Michael said
testily.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gabriel tittered behind his hand.
Raphael shot him a glare. Gabe sniffed and turned his head.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Undercover is one thing,” Raphael
said, “but dignity must be preserved.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I don’t see why.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael gave a flap of his golden
wings. Robes fluttering behind him, he glided a circle around his brother.
Touching down once more, he crossed his arms. “Disgusting garments. Get rid of
them.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Like
hell I will</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">,
Michael thought, and then flushed. Human obscenity concerning copulation and
defecation were one thing. Invoking the underworld was perhaps going a bit too
far. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Forget my clothes,” he said. “Don’t
you want to hear my field report?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael heaved a sigh. “Of course.” He
waved a hand, swirling cloud mist into the form of a throne. His celestial
buttocks settled upon it. “Proceed.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Michael rose and bowed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael inclined his head in reply. “Have
you located Cherub Fortunato?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Regrettably, no. And believe me, I’ve
looked all over.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Odd.” Raphael’s shining brow creased. “I
wonder where he might have gone. He’s definitely not up here.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“He’s probably just floating around
Earth, oblivious. You have to admit, the little guy isn’t exactly the most
intelligent of angels.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Heaven knows that’s true! When the
Almighty was giving out brains, Fortunato thought He said ‘pains,’ and made
himself scarce.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Michael chuckled. “He’s as lucky as his

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael contemplated a moment longer,
then shook his head. “I suppose you’re right. Fortunato has always been a
curious sort. He probably just got distracted. I expect he’ll turn up
eventually.” He leaned back and steepled his fingers. “Very well. Continue.
What sin did you find rampant in the human realm?”</span></div>

East—that’s a given. In other areas...let’s see. Your typical wars here and

Species extinction continues unabated. Greed and gluttony is on an upswing.
Racism, sexism, and xenophobia holding steady. Murders and thefts are,
surprisingly, slightly down. As for illicit sexual congress—” </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Yes?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“It’s not really about sin, per se. It
concerns the Nephilim.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael snorted. “If those abominable left-handed
demons are involved, you can be sure it’s a sin. What evil are they up to now?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The Druid clan, descendants of the
Watcher Samyaza, has a new adept. A male. He emerged from his Ordeal two days
ago.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“What do I care about that? Nephil
dormants become adept with regrettable regularity.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Not like this, they don’t.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“What do you mean?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“This particular Nephil went rogue,”
Michael said. “Defied his alpha, abandoned his clan, and entered his Ordeal
alone. No guide, no mentor, not one scrap of assistance. And yet he survived.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael waved a dismissive hand. “So he’s
insane now. Nothing need be done about it. He won’t last long enough to become
a problem.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Well, that’s just it. He’s not insane.
At least, not fully. He emerged from his Ordeal with his mind mostly intact.
His demon powers are rapidly escalating. He can’t quite control them yet, but—”
Michael shook his head. “It’s amazing, really. Arthur Camulus is—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael’s chin jerked up. “What did you
say?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I said, the new adept is sane. Mostly.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“No, not that part. The other. His
name. What is his name?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Michael regarded his brother
quizzically. “I told you. It’s Arthur Camulus, Nephil of the Druid clan.
Descendant of Samyaza, leader of the fallen Watcher angels.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael jumped to his feet and paced, golden
robes swirling about his ankles like a small tornado. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">What the—?</i> Michael had never seen his brother so agitated. He shot
a questioning look at Gabriel. Gabe raised a hand, palm up, and made a face. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“It cannot be,” Raphael muttered. “Cannot
be, I tell you! Arthur Camulus is dead. He died as a boy of twelve. Seven years
ago.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“You are...misinformed,” Michael said
carefully. “I assure you, Arthur is very much alive.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael whipped around to face him. “Even
if he were alive, he’s not yet of age. He’d be only nineteen. A full year short
of attempting his Ordeal with any hope of survival.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I’m not sure of Arthur’s age.” Michael’s
eyes tracked his brother’s progress to the edge of the cloud and back again. “I
only know he was living with the American branch of the Druid clan. In Texas,
of all places. I gather he took exception to his clan’s alpha.” He gave a grunt
of distaste. “Mab. A nasty piece of work. I can see why he rejected her as his guide—she
enslaves every dormant she brings out of the Ordeal. Anyway, some two weeks ago
Arthur snuck out of the Texas homestead and ingested a dose of cocaine that should’ve
killed him. He got as close to death as possible without actually crossing
over.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael resumed his chase to the end of
the cloud. “Arthur survived his near-death-seeking only two weeks ago? It
should have been months before his Ordeal came upon him.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Michael was getting dizzy, watching his
brother’s frantic pacing. “In the traditional scheme of things, yes, a Nephil
Ordeal usually comes two to three months after the subject’s near-death. But I
gather cocaine speeds up the process. If the dormant survives, the crisis
arrives almost immediately. Some idiosyncrasy of Nephil physiology, apparently.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Disturbing. Very disturbing. When did
Arthur emerge?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Thirty-two hours ago.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael passed a hand over his eyes. “Go
back to Earth. Immediately. Keep an eye on him. Arthur Camulus, a Nephil adept!”
He shook his head. “Blessed God in Heaven.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I don’t understand.” Michael looked
from Raphael to Gabriel. “Who is Arthur Camulus?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gabriel slid off his patch of mist and
onto his feet. “Yes. Who is he?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A pained expression crossed Raphael’s
countenance. “It’s not who Arthur is, precisely. It’s who his ancestor was.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“All right,” Michael said slowly. “I’ll
bite. Who was Arthur’s ancestor?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Merlin.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Merlin the Sorcerer?” Gabriel said
with some surprise. “Camelot and all that?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Yes.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“So?” asked Michael.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“So,” Raphael replied tightly, “Merlin
the Sorcerer was the most powerful Nephil ever to walk the Earth. If Arthur
Camulus is alive, he’s Merlin’s only living direct descendant. He’s heir to
Merlin’s memories and magic. Magic, I might add, that Merlin gained by
surviving his own Ordeal unguided.” Raphael pinched the bridge of his nose. “And
now, if Arthur has done the same...”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“So what if he has?” Michael asked. “It’s
not the end of the world or anything. Nephilim have no souls. Their existence
is finite. Wait a century or so, and Arthur will be in Oblivion.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“It’s the damage he could do before he
dies that I’m worried about,” Raphael said. “You want to talk about the end of
the world? Back when Merlin was alive, he managed to push humanity this close—”
He pinched a bare inch of air between his thumb and forefinger. “—to
destruction. Utter and complete destruction.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">What?</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> If the world
had once been in danger of ending, this was the first Michael was hearing about
it. “When was this, exactly?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Thirteen hundred years ago.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I don’t remember a crisis of that
proportion during that time period.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gabriel approached, eyeing his eldest
brother curiously. “Neither do I.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Raphael’s eyes slid away. “Yes, well.
You two didn’t know about it. I didn’t choose to inform you. I handled it
alone.” He cleared his throat. “As thoroughly as I could, anyway.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“What’s that supposed to mean?” Michael
asked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“It means I acted to ensure the world’s
continued survival, all right?” Raphael dragged a hand through his golden
curls. “I thought the issue was over and done with.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gabriel’s brows rose. “Hardly. We all
know how the Almighty has set up the universe. No solution is unassailable.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The Loophole Edict,” Michael said. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Yes. Exactly. The Loophole Edict.”
Gabriel’s expression turned uncharacteristically serious. “Nothing is certain.
Possibilities always exist. No matter how sure a thing seems, or how
impossible, there’s always a way to do it. Or undo it, as the case may be.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Exactly.” Raphael sank down on his
throne. “This young heir of Merlin could easily overreach himself, just as his
ancestor did, and undo all my hard work. In fact, given the magnitude of the power
Arthur now has within reach, it’s more than likely he’ll misuse his magic. Or
worse, lose control of it completely.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“And if he does—” Gabriel tucked his
walking stick under one arm and flicked all ten fingers outward, like a bursting
star. “Kablooie.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Michael regarded Raphael uneasily. He’d
never seen his overconfident elder brother so troubled. “If you’re that
worried, maybe we should wake the Almighty and seek His guidance.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“No.” Raphael’s head jerked up. “No,
no, and no! I forbid it. Two thousand years ago, before the Almighty went down
for a well-deserved nap, He gave me two simple commandments.” He counted them
off on his fingers. “One—don’t disturb him. Two—the Apocalypse is not, under
any circumstances, supposed to happen until He wakes up.” He shuddered. “If I
have to wake Him early, Heaven help me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There was a brief moment of silence
while Michael and Gabriel absorbed this information.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Then...what are we going to do?” Gabriel
ventured.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I don’t know yet,” Raphael said. “But
I swear to you both by Heaven’s holy gate, I will come up with a plan.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Somehow, Michael wasn’t reassured.</span><br />

Everything Fell Apart</span></b></span></h3>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: center;">
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Chapter One</span></b></span></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Arthur Camulus couldn’t say it felt
good to be back in England. To be honest, it felt like crap. And wasn’t that
bloody ironic? He’d spent years plotting his return. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">At least, he thought he had.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Why was he here? He couldn’t remember.
His brain was that fucked up. It’d been hours, or days, or maybe even weeks, since
he’d emerged from his Ordeal. Heat consumed his body; every nerve ending was ablaze.
Opal lights moved under his skin. Stray sparks shot from his fingertips. He
swiped his tongue across the roof of his mouth. His spit tasted of metal. He
stunk of sweat and worse. If he were to look down, at his bare chest, he’d see
blood. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Not his own blood. That much, he was
certain of. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The first time his body had changed,
the pain had been nearly unendurable. The second shift had been easier. His
flesh was adjusting to its new condition. His mind? Fried. Horrors flashed behind
his eyes. Shouts rang in his ears. The magic was his and yet it wasn’t. He
couldn’t call it with any consistency or direct it once it responded. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He needed help.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The night was heavy with fog. How long
until dawn? Hard to tell. Clouds obscured moon and stars. Night mist soaked his
skin. Moorland, mottled with shadows, peeked through the haze below. To his
newly-gained night vision, everything appeared strangely rendered in shades of
gray and green.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was difficult to keep steady long
enough to orient himself. His wings were more awkward than he’d anticipated. Right
and left refused to cooperate. Flight was dodgy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The site was the highest point for
miles around. Even so, he only just managed to see past its protective
wardings. He landed inelegantly, in a neglected garden. Here, the fog was
thinner, sound muted. The old manor rose like a ghost, its windows like so many
vacant eyes. He tilted his head and knew a rush of relief. There might be
gaps—vast gaps—in the quagmire of his memory, but this place, at least, occupied
solid ground. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Tŷ’r
Cythraul. </span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">House
of the Demon.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He willed his wings to melt into his
back. Surprisingly, they obeyed. The lights under his skin faded. Breath hissed
between his teeth as his body relaxed into human form.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His childhood home was an unassuming
structure. Square and stolid, with a gray stone face. Four rooms below, five
above. The attic, one large space under a steeply sloping roof, had once been
Arthur’s domain. His life here had been happy until that last, horrific night.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The front door—solid oak, polished to a
high sheen—simultaneously beckoned and repulsed. Reluctant to face it, he pivoted,
taking in the garden and its encircling stone wall, where his mother, in all
her varied moods, had spent hours tending her plants. Now weeds overran the
paths, feral herbs wrestled with gangly shrubs, and saplings choked the well
pump. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Only the oak was unchanged. Its trunk,
so massive that three men with outstretched arms could not have encircled it,
stood near one corner of the house. Moss-covered roots spread out around the
base like a treacherous welcome mat. Branches stretched over the roof, the tips
scratching the slates. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I’ve
come for the oak.</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> With sudden clarity, the memory of it burst upon him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Funny thing about memories. When they
weren’t your own, they had no context. Bits and pieces of his ancestors’ lives
churned about in Arthur’s skull, like so much tornado-tossed debris. So many events,
so many images. So many lost emotions. A thousand films playing at once, reeling
past too quickly to absorb. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A dull ache pounded his forehead. He
bowed his head and pressed his fingertips against it. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The oak,</i> he reminded himself. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
oak</i>. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">What the bloody hell was he
supposed to remember about the oak?</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Violent as lightning, one memory, one single
lucid thought, flashed through his brain. He sucked in air. His eyes flew open.
A morass of emotions—clawing, sucking, sickening—swamped him. He stumbled
toward the oak and laid his left hand on its trunk. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He inhaled sharply. Power leapt like a rabid
dog. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">No!</i> Too much, too strong: he
couldn’t control it. The magic savaged his brain, mauled his skull. Lifted his
mind from his body. Desperately, he focused on the wood under his palm. He couldn’t
fail in this. He <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">would</i> not.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He swept his hand downward. The bark
warmed. The ancient wood went soft. His fingers sank into it. Something slipped
into his hand. He pulled the object out of the wood. Several seconds passed as
he gathered the courage to look at it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When at last he did, he knew. Who he was.
What he was. Arthur Camulus. Human. Demon. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Nephil.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And he knew one more thing: he was in deep,
deep shit.</span></div>

of mythology or legend. This is very true of new paranormal series, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Nephilim</b>. Book One of the series, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Night Everything Fell Apart</b>, arrives

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Some readers may have already encountered
some twist on the legend of the Nephilim in books and TV. For example, there’s
an episode of the X-Files devoted to the Nephilim. Other readers may not have
heard of them at all. Who or what are they? Where did the legend originate?</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">An
ancient text known as the Book of Enoch reveals more history of the Watchers
and the Nephilim. For some unfathomable reason (because when does stuff like
this ever work out?), two hundred Watcher angels were sent to Earth and allowed
to </span><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">assume bodies of flesh. This sounds
great, but of course there was a catch: no interaction (read: S-E-X with the
Daughters of Men—God’s version of the Prime Directive, maybe?). </span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Of course, the whole experiment didn’t
work out. Human women turned out to be just too pretty to resist. One Watcher
angel called Azazel decided to revise the original program. He got all the
other Watchers to go along with him:</span></div>

chose wives among the children of men. So the Watchers took wives, teaching
them sorcery, incantations, astronomy, and the dividing of roots. And the women
conceived and brought forth the Nephilim, born of spirit and of flesh. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></i><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">From the

the Watchers and sends a Flood is sent to exterminate their demon kids. This

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Legend tells us the Nephilim scattered
across the Earth and settled among early humans. Because of the divine
knowledge taught to them by their fathers, they became the shamans and
sorcerers of various ancient cultures. They married and had children who—outwardly,
at least—became indistinguishable from humans. But—so the legend goes—their forbidden
magic was passed down through generations.</span></div>

Nephilim walk among us to this day. </span><br />

Nothing!! I happened to read an article about a female judge in Kentucky who was appalled when a woman came into her courtroom with no pants, because she couldn't obtain feminine sanitary products in jail. Ugh!! I can't even imagine. I did a little research and found out that this is a disgustingly common problem, one that is actually exploited for profit by for-profit prisons, who, just because they can, will charge high prices for these basic female necessities to women who clearly can't afford even the regular prices. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></span><br />

Another GISHWHES 2016 favorite! Anyone who's met Nixie, my Carolina Dog rescue, knows that she would definitely put out a heavy metal album if she could. The picture below is an actual dead mouse in my actual grass killed by my actual dog with the actual fangs showing in that picture of her. A shout out to my daughter for her Photoshop skills.</h4>

Usually William Shatner competes in GISHWHES!! In fact, I first became aware of the hunt a couple years ago after following an escalating (fake) flame war between Bill with Misha Collins. This year Shatner bowed out, but Misha wasn't about to let him get out of GISHWHES completely...</h4>

<i>Task 157 William Shatner opted out of the Hunt this
year due to “scheduling conflicts” (which we all know is code for “trouble in
bromance paradise”). Help Shatner realize the egregious mistake he made by
skipping the 2016 hunt by sending him 3 photo postcards featuring highlights of
this year’s Hunt experience with “Having a wonderful time! Gish you were here,
Bill!” Submit a photo of the 3 cards stamped and addressed to Bill. You can all
ask him for his mailing address on twitter. He’d like that, I’m sure. </i></div>

near you doesn’t have access to clean drinking water. Provide that person with
the means to access clean water without purchasing bottled water (this might be
by giving the person a filter, or a solar tea kettle, or something like that).
If no one near you needs clean drinking water, we have something called the
all-powerful Interwebs. You can buy a family clean drinking water for a year:

Prehunt: Team Assignments! Since I don't have 14 zany friends within reach, I signed up for a
global team. I'm grouped with six women from South Africa, one woman
from Australia, and seven other women from the US, for a team total of 15 crazies. We quickly form a facebook group. Go girls!<br />
<br />
<br />
Day 1 (July 30) - The list of 150+ tasks go up, to be split among team members. The tasks range from simple to impossible and from public to private. I ambitiously sign up for 14 tasks, mostly the creative ones that can be done in secret, but a couple public ones as well. I start gathering props.<br />
<br />
Day 2 My sister and niece arrive at the airport. Conveniently, one task requires an airport setting. Check!<br />
<br />
Day 3 Tech issues! I need an Imgur account to upload photos of my completed tasks! And I need to set the uploads to "hidden" to make sure the world doesn't see them before the end of the hunt!<br />
<br />
Day 3-5 pass in a blur as I try to complete all the projects. Creativity definitely required! Family, friends, and complete strangers are laughing at me but I'm too busy to notice.<br />
<br />
Day 6 - I've got a wedding to attend tomorrow, so everything's got to be finished and uploaded today! I'm forced to abandon a few tasks, like making and modeling a glam corn-husk evening dress. (Sob)<br />
<br />
Day 7 - Aug 6 - the hunt ends tonight!<br />
<br />
Day 8 - Starting today, I can post my GISHWHES submissions to the world!<br />
<br />
Get ready, world...<br />
