Rowan's speed was so fast it was almost impossible to see his movements, and he had halted just as abruptly. Before he turned around he looked up at the sky and noticed that not all his blood had crashed to the ground yet, some were still falling, and the light they exuded turned the sky red and he sighed, this sight reminded him of a memory from long ago.
In that memory, he was a child in a harsh and alien world, and there was a red moon overhead. He was on the verge of death at that moment, the same thing that was happening here, and there was also a Primordial Keeper there with him.
"The moon is red, and so is my heart."
Rowan had been using six arms to battle, hence six Cherubims, but he had nine Cherubims and he has always been keeping the last three in reserve because it was the smart move never to show all your cards until they were needed.
