"All right, that's great. It just saves me some trouble." I shrugged at him.

"You do not understand dear boy, and I doubt you ever will." Draco shook his head in my direction. "Serge, take Lily and Ashe and leave us. Tell Cyrus everything that has happened. I will keep these two busy a while longer."
The three of them all backed towards the door by the kitchen, never taking their eyes off of me or The Priest. Draco stepped towards us and began circling the living room. The Priest just stood in a defensive stance watching him walk in circles.
"They do not understand either. None of you actually understand what is at stake here." Draco cleared the debris from one of the chairs and sat down. "Please gentlemen, sit and we shall discuss everything."
Warily The Priest relaxed from his stance and walked towards the couch, I followed him. We cleared some more debris off of the couch and sat, not entirely relaxed. The three of us simply stared at each other for a few moments.
"That man never had any sense of timing. Slaykin, you can bring them back now." Draco shouted at the ceiling.
And with that Doc, Nikki, and Parker appeared in the same spot the disappeared from. "How do you know Doc?" I asked when Nikki sat down next to me.
"The good Doctor and I really do not know each other; we just seem to keep bumping into each other at moments like this."
"Don't tell me you work for the Council too. That would just be a little too much." I put my arm around Nikki and leaned into the couch.
"No, I do not work for the Council. I rather detest that group of degenerates. No, I work only for myself. Well, that is not entirely true. At the moment I work for that fool Cyrus and in the grand scheme of things I work for Destiny, but I suppose that is another story."
"So if you work for Cyrus why aren't you trying to kill us like the rest of them?" Nikki asked.
"Because my dear, they are merely the hired help and I actually know what is going on."
"Then what is going on?" Parker asked.
"Cyrus and his 'Church of the Blue Moon' worship Khonsu an Egyptian god of the moon and time. I'm not entirely sure what his plan is, but it has a lot to do with you Seven. Within the Book of Destiny there is a prophecy about a battle between the moon's champion and the warrior of virtue."
"How does Seven fit into this prophecy as the Warrior of virtue." Nikki asked.
"There are seven virtues in life: restraint, valor, generosity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility. Seven has always been a living example of them all."
