    was to hold Erie’s body against his and let him slide gently to the floor in a heap of silky black feathers. Ashriel rocked back on his boots feeling numbness tingling up from his fingers and toes. His head felt like it was stuffed with cotton. He frowned, blinking, as he ran his fingers through his dark locks. Everything wavered and swam before his eyes. Natanael knelt unsteadily to touch Eriel, but collapsed too, his deep blue hair spilling over one black wing as it struck the wall. The other wing slid up Ashriel’s body until it touched his chin and then it just dropped back down to his boots. Ashriel shook his head, trying to make sense of what was going on, but his mind felt like a swirling vortex, spinning away to dark oblivion. He fell to his knees, his hand skimming over Natanael’s shoulder, and just as his belly made contact with the two fallen reapers, he lost all consciousness. *** “Dev’s not happy with what we’re doing,” Seth huffed. Anniel wanted to scream in frustration. “I thought we weren’t supposed to communicate telepathically with each other? Why are you tattling?” “I’m not tattling,” Seth snapped in exasperation.

We don’t want to let on that there are two Alpha Angels on Rhylos again.” “Three,” Abdiel corrected. He leaned forward in the tiny transport to look at either of them with a worried little frown marring his perfect face. “I’m one of you now too, right?” Anniel patted his cheek. “Yes, baby.

They were coming upon Rhylos fast, but aside from that, there were thousands of space vehicles buzzing around the planet. “There weren’t that many before, were there?” Seth remained quiet, but Abdiel had no such restraint. “That doesn’t bode well. Looks like there’s civil unrest. Word must’ve gotten out. Look at them. They’re circling like vultures, just waiting” “Vultures?” Anniel frowned, looking from Seth to Abdiel. Seth’s lips tightened into a firm line before he said,. “Mostly space pirates looking for a place to call home. They sweep in and take over after the natives virtually wipe themselves out.” “They actually go in and sell the natives weaponry of mass destruction to help them along,” Abdiel added.
