The Peacock Angel: Rise of the Decarchs

CHAPTER 8

  What have I done?

  Failed.

  Father, Mikhael, Teachers . . . forgive me.

  Or help me.

  This is Armaros. You know me. You loved me once.

  My body is ruined. I have been outdone by Azazel. But you know this.

  I only slept so that I might see your faces. I love you still. Now I can do nothing but heal. And that will take some time. I cannot help the boys.

  Do you hear me Mikhael?

  They will surely be killed if you don't help. Heal me or help them. Please.

  I am sorry. I will not fail again.

  This is Armaros! Answer me please! Azazel has grown powerful. They are surely doomed.

  Heal me or help them. Please.

  This is Armaros. Amen.

  Nothing. He was not surprised. Thane and Cane would be on their own for awhile longer. He was useless to them now, so he continued to heal and hope.

  I am sorry. One of you please stay alive. I will not fail again.
