The infant cooed and reached for the fingers dangled over her, despite the scales and claws that made them up. Karau, the demon who held the infant smiled a wicked grin.
“She’ll serve well.” The multi tonal voice cut through the air as yellow eyes turned from the human child she held. The angel stiffened in discomfort at the voice, and possibly the fact it was doing buisness with lords of hell.
“The bargain stands.. With the childs gifts and the lords of hell transferring their power, she should be strong enough to destroy Kasedya and the power he’s stolen.”
Abaddon shuffled impatiently in his robes, his eyes on the dark skies above. “Yes, and this bargain is not just for us Raazel, it is for the balance of all. “
The angel glared in Abaddons direction but didn’t have a reason to argue.
“The more we linger here the more they may notice. If they haven’t already.. we must get her to the sanctuary till the others can join us.” Abaddon turned to the others, ignoring Raazels searing glaze. “Save your anger for the battle of another day Angel.. “
Karau continued to wave a clawed hand over the child, smiling wickedly - which was about as lovingly as a demoness might be able to. “Yes yes.. lets get her away before the world falls asunder.. darkness for all who wonder..”
The soft cooes of the child vanished in to shadow as Raazel lingered, waiting for them to part. His role in this chess game that should help bring balance back was nearly over. Once he was sure they were gone, he twisted his cloak about him crouching low, with a sudden jump skyward the cloak became wings and he was gone.
None of them seemed to notice the small creature with large eyes watching from the cliff side yards away.
