Chapter 58

Dina

Dina raced the halls of Alaxia, searching for Chamuel. With all that had happened, they would need their general to face the battle to come.

Seven trials would befall the Earth and, in that time, the seraphim were called to fight on the side of good. At their helm, Chamuel would lead. When the final hours were upon them, only faith would decide the outcome.

She stopped at his room, leaning in. “Chamuel, are you there?”

Pierre stood from where he had been huddled in the corner. In a place never devoid of light, Dina blinked as she noticed for the first time that Chamuel’s room held darkness, something unheard of in Alaxia.

“Pierre. Are you well?”

Pierre stumbled forward, letting her catch him as he sobbed into her arms. “He is gone.”

She pulled him up, searching his face. “Gone where? I must find him.”

“Where he’s gone, none may follow.”

Dina swallowed. “What do you mean, Pierre?”

“He has fallen.” His breathing hitched as he said the words and a fresh round of sobs racked him.

Dina gripped his arms tightly. “I am sure you’re mistaken. Chamuel would never side with the Fallen. ”

“He has. I felt it.”

Dina released him, letting him sag against the pillar of his door frame. She stepped back into the gilded halls of Alaxia, the world spinning. It couldn’t be. He was their captain. Their holy crusader meant to usher them to victory.

She leaned against the wall for a moment before righting herself and dashing for Raphael’s room.
