My head is spinning So much to take in and res So many rules Who makes up all these rules anyway?

"Depends on what you believe in," Jake answers hts "Where matters of Heaven and Hell are concerned, well, I’m sure you knoho et willing participants to just give up their souls?" asks Noah He leans forward,on his knees "Do they have mind control?"

Darius answers "Yes But they have to use a medium to lure their victims"

"And what is that?" asks Lucian

"The Jodís," replies Darius His as created by the Fallen A concocted being pulled straight froh itself They’rebut They are"

"Hideous," I answer

All eyes turn to ers lace through h Sydney’s eyes once before," he clarifies

"It can be overwhel my mind Then he looks pointedly at me "But I wouldna have chosen you, or the others, had you not been capable of co As for the soulsthe Jodís take the victiht to the Fallen"

"Daain to myself Daaze "I can handle it"

His eyes smile "I know that"

"The only way to kill a Jodís or a Black Fallen is by beheading theroan out loud

Several chuckles fill the roo will be on the handling of a broadsword"

"What’s the other part of training?" Noah asks, all too excitedly

"How to keep it concealed," Sydney finishes "Not as easy as you ht think"

"Back to the toh and vanquish it forever, there are three ancient relics that must be found Before the Celtae were killed weextracted soh"

I shudder to think of what that extraction consisted of Torture The Celtae ht nod, proving my assumption "Each is encrypted with a verse that, when all three are combined, will lead to the physical location of the dark tome Once the tome is found, only Sydney--and the Black Fallen--can read the incantations There is only one that will disintegrate the Seiagh"

"So, basically, it’s a race to get the book first," Victorian says "Why don’t we sih exists, er It has to be destroyed, as well as the Fallen," Gabriel says "Unfortunately, ill have to lure them And they want Ms Maspeth alh"

Jake crosses his arms over his chest "We’ve becos" He sweeps us all with a stealthy glance "We have to keep as many innocents alive as possible And Ms Poe has certaingifts no one else possesses"

"Yeah," Noah says "Like she can fight like unholy Hell? And she’s h Noah’s jeans and pinch Hard

His face actually turns red

"She does have doed with unease "Let lances down at me "She’ll be more than up for it, unfortunately"

Jake rubs his jaw "Her skills, aye, they’ll certainly come in handy Her mind control is indeed a e," he continues "Whatever spell they use to create the Jodís exhausts them It takes three to four consecutive days for the Fallen to regenerate We know this to be accurate, as the last two batches of Jodís Gabriel and Sydney have vanquished did not regenerate until the appropriate amount of time had passed"

Sydney nods "The spell drains the Black Fallen, so it must be a pretty potent one"

"Indeed," Jake continues "The Fallen have naest, Athios Two have been condeest one, Athios"
