ETAN
It was then that Etan realized she had no idea about him. Did not know—or had not accurately measured—the kind of man he was. She thought she frightened him. She believed him intimidated by her sick power.
She thought she called to his weakness, not his strength, when she challenged his faith.
He to had to stifle a smile. He could not let her see the relief in him.
"Certainly," he said smoothly. "I do believe the Father protects me from the likes of your… power," he said carefully.
She tilted her head. "And yet, you say it has been used against you once already?"
"Father says no weapon formed against him will stand—not that they will never exist."
She smiled. "Brave words."
"I am a brave man."
