sprang up immediately after her ear-piercing scream. My brows furrowed. I thought it had been Elohim—though I was sure he still helped her in some way.
    “Anything of light would hurt Morning Star.” I added.
    “But she was still human, and she has the lungs of a damned Psy.” Edanai reminded me.
    That was most definitely true. Psy was short for Psyren. They were former seraphs, cursed into imperfect flesh form, and tainted for their deceit and trickery, and copulating with beings of darkness. They were all female, and the only ones who could emit ear shattering, high-pitched warning shrieks. They hung out with the Aural Bandits, simply because they complimented one another. Both consumed souls and stole auras for both trade and sale.
    Many of the female Psy’s were also seductive and beautiful, and the bitter rivalry with the dark fallen Succubus’ has gone on since the beginning of the time, like all other wars and conflicts among the fallen.
    They all hung out with Morning Star; in and around his domain. I hardly came across any of them, or any other dark fallen and shadows slithering near or around my territory. That was the main reason why I chose to make my home in the neutral zone near the shores of the Eternal Waters, even as a dark fallen. The bit of light I still held in me allowed me the close proximity.
    At times, I can still hear the cries and screams of the mortal damned, and the captured souls echoing in the breeze that carried in from the stone forests. It was nearly impossible for one not to hear it, no matter where you were in the spirit realm.
    “Then maybe it was Elohim after all.” I finally countered.
    Edanai m ade a noise of disbelief, and then narrowed her eyes at me. “You just don’t want to believe it do you? You’d better be damned careful Cam`ael, or maybe even forget her altogether. Even if that ability will be her essence now, there is absolutely no way she should have been able to invoke or use it while still mortal. You can only imagine how deadly it will be now that she’s a divine warrior. She could kill you, or any one of us simply by…willing it.” Edanai forewarned.
    “ That’s why I don’t want any of you to approach her…at least for now.” I told her.
    “For now? Wha t plans do you have?” Edanai wondered.
    “The only plans that I have are to make sure that you guys don’t get hurt, or worse.” I replied.
    I morphed smoothly into the IMPD police uniform that I donned the first time that I met Starling at the hospice. It made sense to keep the image. I placed the patent brimmed hat back on my head, adding the weapons belt, gun, medals, jacket, and badge, to complete official ensemble afterwards.
    Edanai was checking me out from head to toe with admiring scrutiny. “Let me ask you something,” She then began, seeing me contemplate which direction I wanted to create a temporary portal.
    I looked down at her from beneath the shadowed brim of the cap. She was standing close to me this time, with her arms now folded across her chest.
    “What is it?” I asked her.
    She looked up at me inquisitively. “ She obviously wanted you too, and you could have easily had her either way, though I’m sure you would have taken the physical route. So, why didn’t you?” She asked.
                                I tensed with a slow exhale. I knew the question would come eventually, but I felt as if it might have been a trap of sorts.
    Did she want me to say , because I still loved and felt something for her? Because that wasn’t it at all.
    I pretended to brush lint from the sleeve of the black wind jacket nonchalantly. “She knew what I was, but she had no idea of what she was going to become. I didn’t want to ruin that for her.” I said softly. “And I didn’t want to run the risk of impregnating her either.”
    A smile reached E danai’s eyes as she regarded me.
    “ You wonder why you were allowed to keep some of your light. Well, if you
