章 153: Azrael's plan for the souls of power

Azrael had taken hold of the eternal flame, that has been no secret to me. Through my own sheer willpower I have managed to puzzle together the pieces of his actions, but never got so far as to figure out his plan. It had always seemed to abstract: what could the eternal flame do for Azrael that his powers, or a wizard could not? 

As far as I know, it helps to create and sustain life, an artefact that helps keep the Folk of Faey thriving and surviving through disasters and doom, along with its counterpart that resides within the foundations of my people. It gives us angels our power, maintains our strength against the vampires, fills our souls with magic. That was why it was so imperative that I retook it for my kind, before we sunk to little more than an empty husk of what we once were.

I think on that second, until my heart slowly grinds to a stop. If Azrael has the Eternal flame… oh no oh no oh no.
