and bell towers. It’s an expansive fortress, protected and sanctified within hundreds of acres, and surrounded by miles of both fortified consecrated land and waters. Nothing of darkness or of shadows could break through, pass, or even come close to penetrating it from the ground or the air.
    “ Or she will return, and she may not decide to kill me…immediately. One can always hope, right?” I finally answered, looking back over my shoulder at Edanai again.
    She studied me .
    W ith a flick of her eyes in the direction of the Divine Hall she replied, “Hope? Sure, but when you decide to come back to reality, just be prepared. This kind of devastation is nowhere near what you’ve known.” Edanai then said softly.
    I knew exactly what she meant , but I didn’t want to hear it.
    “I didn’t mean just hope for me.” I replied.
    Edanai paused at the realization of what I was saying and why. Her face suddenly softened, and her eyes flicked down to the stony ground.
    “ What do you think her friend meant by weird and creepy activity though?”
    “Dare we even guess?” I looked at her wryly.
    She laughed. “Sounds like Morning Star may be at it again.”
    I shrugged a shoulder. “I doubt it. That doesn’t sound like his approach. He’s way more subtle than that. He likes to build up any and all possible collateral damage first, before striking. Either way it’s not my concern. I’m no longer Chief Angel of all Powers anymore.” I answered.
    She pierced me with a hard stare and a single raised brow. “Tough shit. It was your fault for falling in love with another human in the first place— and much against my protest. You were the one who decided to carry on this charade of making her friends believe that she was still alive; instead of simply vanishing without a trace, like humans believe about all of the other chosen. Ensuring their safety comes with that territory, in case by some small, miniscule reason, she does decide to return there. Therefore, you owe it to all of them now. Leave it to a male not to think about these things first. See what I have to put up with? That’s why you need me.” Edanai pointed her index finger at me, with her other hand on her cocked hip.
    I couldn’t argue, one never could with a female. All I could do was stand there with my mouth open…knowing damn ed well that she was absolutely right.
    I gave her an agitated glare and sighed. Speechless.
    She gav e a nod. “That’s what I thought.”
    I licked my lips in thought.
    Edanai sensed my silent pause, and her voice softened once again with a hint of compassion, “She seems to have a good heart and spirit— and yes, she is beautiful. There’s no doubt that there is something special and unique about her, I’ll give you all of that. The curiosity and question lies in the why is she different. That sphere you were telling us about, the one that appeared around her.” She then began to say.
    My eyes instantly met hers w ith interest and full attention. “Yes?”
    Edanai glanced the distance where the Divine Hall lie briefly once again, and then looked back at me. “That was her aura.” She stated.
    D isbelief hit me first, and then fascination during the moment of silence between us.
    “ There’s no way…” I began, with a shake of my head.
    Edanai nodded with a serious expression , and held up a hand to stop me from saying what she already knew as well. “I know. I’ve never seen that before either—not while a chosen was still mortal, but it was her own aura, which is probably why it’s so damned bright to begin with. Personally, I don’t think it has anything to do with her and Eve having the same kind of aura either. I mean, it deflected and actually hurt Morning Star— protecting her. That is what you said, isn’t it?” Edanai asked for confirmation.
    I nodded. I thought back to that night, and everything that had happened before she was surrounded and completely shielded in a sheer, sphere of light. It
