Solomon’s vision freezes as he and I teleport into Lucifer’s underground lair. This time, Raphael and Gabriel don’t come along for the ride. Ever since my spat with the Archangel of Wisdom, we haven’t spoken. Now it seems he’s gone into hiding. I clear my throat. "Hrm. So, are we going to talk about… that?"…
Satan skitters down the steep bluff leading into the dragon’s inner chamber, but his Vectors prevent him from suffering any injuries when he lands at the bottom, as they absorb the brunt of the impact. Belial follows after him, stretches out her legs, and zig-zags from left to right. She dives into a roll and…
Solomon, the Archangels, and I, all appear behind Satan and Belial at the base of Leviathan’s mountain, not far from the entrance to his cave. Satan uses four of his Vectors to levitate slightly off the ground, and the other four to suspend Nerissa’s crystallized body a few feet in front of him. The two…
After the messy confrontation with his fellow Emperors, Satan slips away to his private chambers. Solomon and I follow after him, and the Archangels come along for the ride as well. "It seems Satan’s having some issues," I say, as I try and make small talk. "Indeed. The snake’s greed returned to bite him in…
I materialize inside of a dingy room carved into the earth, its walls dimly lit by a few torches hanging from the ceiling. Several hundred demons gather around uprooted tree stumps to cast their lots as they play dozens of games of Sticks and Bones. An underground gambling den. Literally. For once, my mind does…
It takes me a moment to adjust to my surroundings as I appear before the bonfire once again. Michael is still gone, but Raphael and Gabriel are here, as is Solomon. Raphael runs his fingers through his beard while staring at the fire, but Gabriel gazes at me with a neutral expression, as if waiting…
Satan wraps one arm underneath Belial and uses the other to splash muddy water on her exposed skin. "Hey, hey, girl… come on, come on. Wake up! Shit." His water magic goes to work healing her, but thanks to the blood and mud turning the water fetid, it doesn’t have much effect. A few bits…
Recommended Listening Lucifer stands perfectly still, unable to move her body, as the Balrog leaps at her. Bael’s fist smashes her chest and sends her flying backward. She tumbles end over end, careens across the ground, breaks several limbs, and lands like a pile of rags several hundred feet away. Upon seeing their mother get…
Satan, now controlled by Hercules, launches toward Vepar. His Vectors and wind magic augment his speed, allowing him to blow past Lucifer and Diablo in the blink of an eye. He targets the weakest of the three newcomers and smashes her in the face with his fist, sending her flying into the dirt. The instant…
Recommended Listening My mind leaves Zeus’s, and for the first time since Solomon’s visions began, I levitate into the sky, my astral body unbound to the soul of another being. I hover high above the battlefield and watch from a distance as chaos unfolds. Satan and Bael stand against Hercules, his eyes glowing with righteous…
