that realm. Confusing, but Lucan did not bother to query further. While there,<br />
he had been taken through time to the origin of the seal, and he had seen the<br />
millennia of man on earth. He had witnessed the fall and the invasion of the<br />
angels and the flood. He had watched Jacob wrestle and receive the seal and<br />
seen how through the years, many had sought the seal. And he had seen the<br />
one behind the many schemes, Lucifer, and his fallen demons. With this<br />
power, he would be able to see and hear them even while they were in human<br />
forms. He would be able to banish them to Tartarus. But with the power came<br />
great responsibility. He felt he could handle all of them except one. All the<br />
others required that he restrained his head, but one required that he stopped<br />
listening to his heart. He said nothing of this to the other guardians or Gabriel,<br />
the holder of the keystone. He stayed on with them until they all left for their<br />
homes. It was only when he got to the crowded part of town that he began to<br />
understand how his life would be radically different. He would never have<br />
believed anything of what he now saw.<br />
All around, there were demons in human form. He walked past some having<br />
a snack and chatting with other normal humans. He could hear the demons<br />
constantly communicating with one another in what Gabriel had told him was<br />
spirit communication. A whole new world had opened up to his senses. The<br />
supernatural had been around him all along but he just couldn't see it. Now it<br />
lay plain before him. He hurried along to the privacy of his house.<br />
Imani couldn't believe how happy she was to hear his voice when Lucan's<br />
call came in that evening. She had really missed him and she didn't even<br />
bother to try to hide it. She was glad when it was clear that he had equally<br />
missed her. “My mother has been dying to meet you,” Imani said. “I'm planning<br />
to take the whole of tomorrow off. We are going to see her.”<br />
“You didn't add, 'And that's an order!'” Lucan chuckled.<br />
She laughed too. “Love you.”<br />
“Love you too, babe,” he purred back and ended the call.
