"From what we gathered, that fallen angel was part of a flock of five years ago that fell to Earth, when the King was only a few days into his reign," Andrew explained as Larisa and I sat in the throne room.

The next morning we had Andrew, Emerson and Austin try and get any information from the fallen angel that attacked Lynette.

He won't say much, however, but they seemed to get lucky with something.

"What of the flock?" I asked.

"He admits that they met Alexander and Lilith after being rejects of God AND the people of Obsidian.... Somehow Alexander convinced Prophet to join their cause, so long as they helped recruit more people..." Austin said.

"They were promised a job...." Larisa said.

"Yes.... However, one member of his flock wasn't on board with the plan of joining forces with the Visigoths... Didn't seem to trust them.... So Lilith convinced Prophet to kill him.... So, he tore his wings out and gave them to her as a present..... Mutilated and burned him to ashes..." Andrew said. "He became power hungry and eventually did the same to the others, one by one, until it was only him left... Each of them had their wings torn off and gifted to Lilath by Prophet...."

"Wait, he killed his entire flock?" Larisa asked in shock.

"Fallen angels are usually only extremely loyal to each other..... Yet this one chose to be loyal to the rebellion over what was most likely his only family ever.... How is that possible?" I asked.

"My guess is, Lilath made him an offer he couldn't refuse, or Prophet was more tainted than the rest of his flock," Andrew said.

"What of Lynette? Had he mentioned anything regarding her?" I asked.

"Only that the Visigoths want her, but he won't reveal much," Andrew said.

"If Lilith and Alexander are able to make a fallen angel turn against his own family..... Then things are more dire than we imagined," Larisa said worriedly.

"I agree..... However I'm now finding myself more concerned for Lynette.... She's somehow immune to a fallen angel's compulsion.... Just like Alexander...... How is that possible?" I asked.

"I've heard rumors that Warhol was also immune....." Austin frowned.

Larisa and I froze and looked at each other in confusion before back at our advisors.

"What are you implying?" Larisa asked.

"Maybe we need to look more into Warhol, because something tells me that there is something much deeper going on that we all don't know about..." Austin said.

"Where do we start then?" Larisa asked.

"Well for starters, where did Alister and Hermes Warhol come from, and how they might connect to both the Visigoth rebellion and Lynette?" I said.

"Lynette is an Earth Human..... How can she be connected to the founder of our world?" Larisa asked.

"We'll have to look further and see," I said. "If anything, investigating her time on Earth can also help us."

"She was orphaned, as a newborn... Wasn't she? Finding who her biological parents were would be impossible...." Austin frowned.

"All she had left of her parents was a medallion with her initials on it, but its impossible to get it with the Earth authorities having it in their possession...." Andrew said.
