The Sentinel's Conduit

In a world overrun by demons, you would think that people would make smarter choices.

Let's pretend, for a second, that my father, the Head Pastor, hadn't made a deal with the Vampire Lord. Let's pretend, for a second, that he wasn't naive enough to think that desperate times called for measures this desperate.

You know what? I'm giving him too much credit.

Instead, let's pretend, for a second, that he did pay the piper and the Vampire Lord hadn't ordered me abducted and for his death.

I guess that would defeat the purpose of me still being pissed at him from beyond his grave.

They say 'be grateful' , but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't occasionally wish that I hadn't been given a second chance.

I suppose it would defeat the purpose of having the five Sentinels serve the people if one of them hadn't taken it upon himself to save me.

Maybe there is a purpose.

When five men have been blessed with the gift of the angels and the war is suddenly no longer lost, I suppose there is a plan.

Maybe this is meant to happen.

I guess I really only have two questions: am I also meant to fight my affections for the Royal Sentinel? If he's as dangerous as he appears to be, would I be better off accepting him as my protector and nothing more?
