"You're both hunters?" Bethel said.
"Something like that." Krystal replied.
"I hate to say it but you do realize you're both naked right?" I said.
"Right!" Vlad replied.
They take the clothes off dead civilians.
"That's better." Vlad said as he adjusts his collar. "Sorry about the view earlier 😅, we have to strip before we fuse."
"How is that possible?" Castiel asked.
"Before we move further, I'd like to know you both aren't going to try and kill my friend here, Flauros." I asked
"The Demon? Nahhh, I can't sense any form of evil coming from him " Krystal replied.
"You can sense evil?" Bethel asked.
"More or less..." Krystal said.
"Besides we only hunt Angels and Demons who hunt and kill Nephilims, your friend here got side tracked." Vlad added.
"You hunt and kill Angels??" Castiel asked.
"Yes we do." Krystal replied.
"Then why did you help us?" Castiel asked.
"Don't push your luck sweetheart, we were helping the Nephilim not you guys." Krystal said.
"That Angel seal, where did you get it?" Bethel asked.
"From our mother, Eva." Krystal replied.
"Eva? How old are you two?" Castiel asked.
"Quite older than you all are." Vlad replied.
"Who is Eva?" I whispered to Flauros.
"She's the first Angel to ever fall in love with a Demon and the very first Angel to give birth to a Nephilim."
"Looks like Eva gave birth to two Nephilims." Castiel added.
"Actually we're not Nephilims, yet." Vlad said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I am an Angel. A full Angel while my sister is a Demon. When we fuse we become one Nephilim." Vlad said.
"Amazing..." Flauros said.
"Gross 🤢" I replied.
"Hate to cut in but we have a spear to retrieve and would someone undo this time warp. Bethel said.

Abandoned church
Lilith, Asmoday and five Archdemons search the the abandoned church looking for an entrance to Zasalamel's chambers.
"Open every door, one of it is the entrance." Asmoday said.
Shortly after, they find the entrance. It's a very straight narrow road, after minutes of walking down the path, they meet a dead end.
"What trickery is this!?" Lilith exclaimed.
Asmoday reads the inscription on the wall which only he could understand.
"It's a puzzle. He who walks this part must either answer a riddle or have something valuable to trade for something of his." Asmoday said.
"What do you mean?" Lilith asked.
Suddenly a figure with skeleton head appears in front of the wall.
"Greetings, I am Revenant." It said with a disembodied voice.

Revenant
"What is that!?" Lilith exclaimed.
"I demand that you take me to your master at once." Asmoday said to it.
"What do you have of value to seek an audience with him?." Revenant asked.
"Nothing. I want a riddle..." Asmoday said with confidence because of his vast knowledge and years of experience and study.
"Very well. What is it that no man ever yet did see, which never was, but always is to be?" It asked.
"What are the consequences of a wrong answer?" Lilith asked.
"Blood must be spilled on the wall within thirty seconds to get another trial or die after thirty seconds." It replied.
" Which never was? Always to be?... Death" Asmoday said.
"Wrong." Revenant replied.
"What!? It has to be death!" Asmoday quickly kills one of the demons and spills the blood on the inscription for another trial.
"This is your one and only chance left." Revenant said.
Asmoday thinks hard🤔. "what gives birth to death after life?" He said to himself, then it occurred to him "Tommorow!" He exclaimed.
"Correct." Revenant replied.
The wall opens leading to Zasalamel's chamber, he is seated on a chair eating apples, his face barely visible under his hood.
"You must be the..." Asmoday said.
Zasalamel cuts in. "...I am not in the mood to have visitors. Leave now before I waste you lot."
Asmoday growls almost almost losing his cool. " I'm Asmoday, you have something that belongs to my master. I want it back."
"All the items I have collected over the course of my long life was earned. You must have something valuable to trade for it."
"I insist you release it at once before things get messy." Asmoday said.
"I do not like to be threatened." Zasalamel replied.
"Kill him..." Asmoday said.
The Archdemons attempt to attack Zasalamel.
"That would be unwise.". Zasalamel said as he cast a spell on the Demons, they fall lifeless. "I suggest you pick your next course of action wisely, they may be your last."
"Lilith, we must retrieve the spear no matter what, our lives depend on it." Asmoday said as he gets ready to attack Zasalamel.
"Damn right they do." Lilith stabs Asmoday from behind with an enchanted knife
"Urk! What are you doing?". Asmoday said as he falls to his knees. "you will pay for this!"
She stab him the second time. " no I won't." She said as she stab him once more before he dies. " phew, now let's talk real business."
"You betray your own kind?" Zasalamel asked.
"I believe we both had different goals, now you give me the spear and I..."
Zasalamel uses magic to snap her neck then burns her to ashes". I do not bargain with traitors, liars or unworthy people with no honor."
Bethel's POV
After few hours, Ty and the rest of us arrive at Zasalamel's Chamber, Flauros had helped us get past the riddle.
"More uninvited visitors, state your business here." Zasalamel said.
"Looks like the Watchers arrived before we did" Castiel said.
"Yeah no kidding." Ty's said.
"Remember Zasalamel is a warrior with honor and pride, you must not be forceful." Flauros whispered to Castiel.
" I am Angel Castiel and..."
"I know who you all are, you are all nothing but disturbances." Zasalamel said.
Castiel snaps "Disturbance!? The world is..."
Flauros cuts in and bows before Zasalamel. "Forgive our disturbance. We only ask that you hear our intentions."
"Speak but be brief."
"We have reason to believe that you have the Morning star Spear." Flauros said.
"I do, you want the spear as well."
"Yes, we do." I replied.
"Then you must have something of equal value to trade with." Zasalamel said.
"I will gladly trade my life for it." Flauros replied.
"What!? No way! Nobody is trading anything." Ty exclaimed.
"This is the only way, be reasonable." Flauros replied.
Zasalamel laughs loudly. " your life is meaningless to me. But, I value something much more than that."
"And what would that be?" Flauros asked.
"The third eye on your head will be of great use to me. You will pledge your alliance and loyalty to me, in return I release the spear." Zasalamel said.
"Done!" Flauros replied.
"I object!" Ty exclaimed.
"He's right, he is a Demon Tyson, no reason to keep him around." Castiel said to Ty.
"Shut up! He's my friend... Bethel I know you and Flauros haven't been on the same page but please do not go through with this, I beg you." Ty pleaded to me.
I look away not knowing what to say or do...
"Say something!" He yelled at me.
I let out a long sigh then turn to him.
" I guess there's no other way then."
"No, no, we are not sacrificing Flauros for a stupid spear. " Ty stands in front of Flauros. "you want him, you get through me."
Flauros places a hand on Ty's shoulder. " it's going to be alright. This is the only way."
"No! We will find another way."
"You leave me no choice.". I spawn the spear then tuck it into the ground " I challenge you Zasalamel, to a duel."
"Oh fuck!" Ty grabs my hand. " don't do this, you're no match for him. What the hell is wrong with all of you!?"
"Sometimes all it takes is a little faith" I smile at him then turn back to Zasalamel. " if I win you release the spear and if I lose, you will never see us again."
Zasalamel laughs excitedly. " that's not a fair trade. This battle is to the death and if I win, you leave the Demon with me and if I lose I release the Spear."
"I accept."
"No!" Castiel holds Ty back. " let go of me! She's going to get killed!". He exclaimed.
"I can't let you , she's a warrior. I cannot break the warrior's code, she called out a duel. Only her can end it, I'm sorry we cannot interfare.". Castiel said as he holds Ty back.
"Let's begin." Zasalamel said with a smile.
He casts a spell that forces Ty, Castiel and Flauros to kneel and become immobile.
"Urg! I can't move!" Ty said as he tries to move.
"What did you do to them?" I asked.
"I restricted their movements, we shall not be interrupted.". He creates a large barrier around he and Bethel
"Is that really necessary?" I asked.
He stands up slowly from his chair, removes his hooded cape, revealing his muscular body and different colored eyes, left gold and right red.
" it's been long since I felt this excited" he walks to Bethel, each step he took shook the ground. " are you prepared?" He stood a few inches away from Bethel, bigger than her in size.

Zasalamel
I remove my spear from the ground.
" hope you're ready to lose."
