clean with light, and not so much just because it was dark fallen blood either. Seeing filth, a mess or disorganization of any kind was my biggest annoyance, and pet peeves, it absolutely drove me insane.
    He hung his head and stared down at the dark wisps curling upwards from the stones’ surface for a moment in sincere shame and regret. I held a hand up to stop him from having to continue to say it. Past the tell-tale signs and evidence, I already knew what he was about to confess to me. 
    “We all have to do what we have to do.” I told him.
    He raised his head, straightening to his full seven-foot height, about two inches over mine.
    “I was actually going to say that I apologize for not taking the time to clean up before meeting with you and leaving this mess.” He smiled mischievously.
    Though the thought of him leaving a mess, not to mention the vile blood of another dark fallen staining any part of my dwelling made me recoil internally with aberration; I could only shake my head and laugh at his candor.
    “No apology necessary.” I told him.
    “I will clean it all up; I promise.” He then said as he glanced around at the mess he hadn’t intended to make at his feet.
    “Don’t worry I’ll take care of all of it.” I assured him.
    He hesitated and then nodded.
    “There’s been a lot of preparations and celebration going on lately. Morning Star seems very sure of himself, or at least he seems to think he has a fool-proof plan. I heard a lot of whisperings, but they were all speaking in codes, so I couldn’t really get much information.” Rahab began to explain.
    “I figured as much. Just don’t get yourself caught or killed my friend; I don’t want t o lose you for any reason. If things become difficult and dangerous; backup if you know what I mean.” I replied.
    He nodded.
    “I took the longest path here and some extra detours to make sure I was no longer being followed or watched.” He then said.
    I scanned the distance and horizon and li stened to all sides just to make extra sure as did Rahab. There was no present threat because wide rivers of light feeding off of the Infinite waters crossed through all the living forests that surrounded my dwelling far below. The other dark fallen and shadows could not pass or touch anything here without my detection. If any beings I didn’t recognize ventured too close, I could easily call upon the waters below and simply wipe them out of existence in the blink of an eye.
    I only allowed my closest comrades to pass, and I knew of their arrival ahead of time. Those that didn’t know me wouldn’t dare to take the chance because I wouldn’t hesitate, and they never knew what, how or from which direction that power, or I would be coming from until it was too late.
    “What did Drakael want?” Rahab then snarled.
    Rahab did not like Drakael at all for most of the same reasons that I didn’t. Drakael’s calm arrogance and always speaking as if he were admonishing us no matter what the situation was had been the main re asoning. I didn’t care for Drakael either obviously, but we were allies, working for the same cause and if Elohim granted Drakael the permission to interact with and summon me, it was a good thing…for us, especially so I tolerated him for now.
    I sighed.
    “Nothing really, just an exchange of information— more so for me though.” I told him.
    “Oh, well that is also what I bring too. Of course, you know she lives after all, that is a good thing.” He began.
    I nodded with a half-smile.
    “The group that summoned Baal is actually several, rock groups making up a music show. They’ve been putting up advertisements for a performance near the place where she attends school. Morning Star plans to influence and gather through the music and get humans to unknowingly walk into a portal leading to the spirit realm. There will be another open gateway at the concert that leads directly to his dominion. He’s been amassing an army of beings
