Path of Night

False minions are meant to burn - Part I

So, the last week was horrible. Zelda married Blackwood and they went on their Honeymoon and left Prudence in charge of the Academy. Which, may I say, is a good thing. Sort off. Blackwood was able to convince everyone that Ambrose killed the Anti-Pope and now they put him in the Witches cell. So, the good thing is Prudence is in charge, which means that I can still wander around the Academy. The bad news is that Ambrose is stuck and I can't do anything to help him. I have a lot to do, there is the Ambrose thing, Wardwell and Dark Lord thing and most importantly I have to find out what Sabrina's part in all of this is.

I made my way to the library and started my search for the Nazarene's miracles.

Ok, I am pissed, like really pissed. Someone doesn't want me to find out what is going on. Honestly, I do understand. Our Dark Lord does what he wants and no one ever knows how and why. But I swear on his claw that I will find out what is going on.

I was in the library for hours and nothing. At some point, I thought I heard aunt Hilda, but that can't be possible. I am so tired, I think I will go get a drink. Maybe Dorian knows something.

"Hey, Dorian!"

"Hello 'Sephone, what brings you here"

"A drink and a question."

"What do you need."

He said as he was pouring some whisky in the glass.

"I was wondering, do you know something about Nazarene's miracles?"

"That is a very unusual question. But yes, I might know something. Why?"

I was about to tell him, but of course, something or better yet, someone had to come in. And it was Nick. Great. I stayed there. There was nothing in the library that could help me and by the looks of it, I would need to take care of Nick when he gets drunk. Sabrina is the reason he got expelled, but he is the one who agreed to do those things. Not that I blame him. Sabrina has her way of making you do things you will later regret. We were here for about an hour when Sabrina came. I looked at Dorian and we understood each other. We made our way out of the room and left those two to 'talk'.

"Sooo, Nazarene?"

"Right, you did not tell me why you want to know about him."

"It's a long story. Please Dorian, just tell me."

"All right 'Sephone, but you will have to tell me why."

"I will, but not now."

"I don't know much about Nazarene as a living thing. But I do know some of his acts, that people started to call miracles. There is a lot of them, but only a few are essential. The numbers of miracles that are of the most importance are 3, 9, 11, 13, and 37. Those are..."

BANG

OH FOR THE LOVE OF LUCIFER!!!!! Seriously! Why, oh why can't I learn something without being interrupted. We made our way to the main room and saw Nick with someone. I don't know who that is, and by the looks of it neither does Dorian. With a blink of an eye, he shot an arrow at Dorian, striking him right in the neck. I screamed and hid behind the corner.

"Normally, I like to give your kind a chance to repent, but Dorian Gray is far too dangerous a warlock for that. You, on the other hand, here's your chance."

He shot another arrow, this time at Nick. Nick tried to teleport, but due to his drunkenness...

"Too drunk to teleport. That makes my job easier. You can't hide from God."

What in the name of Hell! False God, damn it! They are angels, great, just great. Why isn't Dorian awake yet? Guess I will have to deal with this.

"Oh, yea, who is hiding! - PROHIBERE!"

With that he just stopped moving, unfortunately that's not preventing him to stop talking. Now I have to keep him restrained until Dorian...

"YOU shot me! You bitch!"

"I put an arrow through your neck."

"Yes, this one. You see, I have a very peculiar invulnerability which makes me insanely difficult to harm."

He took the arrow and shoved it into the angel's skin.

"Nick, go get Sabrina and Aunt Hilda."

"But.."

"JUST GO!!!"

He left finally. How hard can it be to listen to someone? I turned to the angel who was badly hurt due to Dorian...

"Now, you. What are you doing here?"

"Your kind will burn..."

Before he could finish, I grabbed the arrow and twisted it. He screamed.

"I will ask you again. What. Are. You. Doing. Here!"

"G-g-g-god send us to k-k-kill every witch in Greendale. We call ourselves the Order of the I-I-Innocents"

"Thank you for your candor."

With that, we cast an immobilizing spell and I helped Dorian put the angel in one of his portraits. I told him to stay there, clean up and rest, he did just raised from the arrow shot in the neck. I left to warn Prudence and the rest of the Academy.
