It sounded like those might opposing sides. When I asked about the Celestials and Temporals, they said they didn't know. That they only knew about The Authority and Xaphania.
The Book of Life can't fall into either hand... that it would allow them to manipulate and discard the worlds. Our worlds, included.
I don't know if I should. I don't even know what I should tell anyone.
[ Sholmes being the exception, of course. ]
I don't want this falling into the wrong hands... especially if people can lose control of themselves from the Angels.
[ He sighs, leaning a bit against Sholmes now. ]
In case it ever comes up, the angel that helped us was named Raguel. They used to be a friend of God. They sacrificed themselves to purify that dragon and save us.
I don't know. When we were trying to escape and make it back to the gate, it came to attack us. That's where I lost the leg. The gate we were supposed to return from was destroyed... that's when Raguel sacrificed themselves. We never would have made it out of there without that.
[Irene squawks at Finley's change, burbling as she rubs her beak against her - before she sighs, and shifts into a hare probably for the first time in several days.]
[And its fine, the blood is hashtag aesthetic.]
Yes, of course. [And he leans in, pressing a kiss against his lips.] We've come so far. Let us continue.
[Irene snuggles up against her. Just the way it should be.]
Yes. [He says, quietly - again his arms wrap around him, keeping him close.] No matter what...you have a great detective to believe in. Always remember that.

[He pores over the note for a moment, thinking.]
I can't say I've heard of either of these. "Xaphania"?

[what the HECK]
Will you...let the Watchers know of it?

[If anyone can be compelled...then anyone can be used, and made to give away secrets.]
Raguel... [All these SAD ANGELS. GOD.] Where did that dragon even come from, anyways?
no subject
And yeah. Angel friend. :c ]

[He strokes over the other's hair, frowning sadly.]
I'm sorry to hear that. it sounds like...they desperately wanted you to succeed, even at their own expense.

[ So. That really sucked a lot. But let's be real, Kotetsu is the same kind of creature, so... he can't throw stones. ]
no subject
[Yeah, it does ring familiar, with what he's heard from Kotetsu before. He's at least happy he won't pull something THAT drastic. Hopefully.]
Well, we won't let their sacrifice be in vain. We shall strive to keep the book safe, at all costs.
no subject
Yes... [ Also, sorry, Sholmes. He's probably gotten you kind of bloody from all this? They're both a mess.
Also, Sholmes can probably feel the shift against his back as Finley finally eases into a tiger again. Tired tiger, but tiger nonetheless. ]
No, we won't. I have to see this through to the end, too. Their sacrifice wasn't just for the book... it was for our lives, as well.
[ So, no dying, hopefully. ]

Mm, yeah...
[ And he reciprocates the kiss. It's soft, but it's there. ]

Kotetsu nods softly, leaning heavy into the holding. ]
My own personal hero. [ There's a hint of a smile, a genuine one, at that. ]
