'You are Michael returned to me,' she said as she put a hand on his cheek. When I heard he was with you.I feared the worst.' They had been separated far too long.He had left her, and in his absence, Gio had fed her lies and misinformation. She had known Andreas was Michael the instant they had met but as the months passed and he'd kept away from her, doubt had crept in. Only Michael, Pure of Heart, the Protector of the Garden, the Champion of the Light. Only an angel with a power like hers could have stopped the Black Fire of Hell. Prince of the Angels, the Valiant, Supreme Commander of the Lord's Armies. Just as she had thought: Andreas was Michael. He smiled, and she was stunned as she recognized her love once again. Gio.? Lucifer? But.Īndreas walked to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

She was utterly horrified and unable to accept what he was saying. Tomi turned away from Andreas, the sick feeling in her stomach only growing. The trigylph is a symbol of their union - serpent and sheep.' He has kidnapped brides for the Dark Fallen.

He has bred a host of half-human demons, the Nephilim. He was alive.and his spirit was in Gio,' Andreas said. But if it was true, then.She held her stomach, feeling sick all of a sudden. Tomi looked at him in confusion and fear. He has been turning the Venators against me, spreading lies, alienating my men. He's the one we've been looking for all along. I was sure you were safe with Gio.until I realized. I am so sorry - I have been trying to get back to you - but I was detained. He must have known I would return, and escaped before he had to face me. 'Get away from me! Where is Gio?' she yelled, pushing him away. 'Who's there?' Tomi walked inside the bedroom and screamed.Īndreas ran to her, and she screamed even louder. 'In here.' That wasn't Gio's voice, Tomi thought, immediately putting a hand on the knife she carried around her waist. When she arrived at home, the door was ajar and the room was empty of servants. Tomi was satisfied with her work for the day, and took a moment to admire the piece before she returned to her quarters. Ne day the baptistery doors would grace the most beautiful cathedral in the world.
