Chapter 113: Where It All Began
"You have awakened, Jack, but the world has not. It is as He said. The Twin Angels That Fell will ascend. Divine retribution will come to Earth. You should have stayed hidden."
’What god is he? Which pantheon is he a part of?’
His thoughts were slow and methodical.
Dasha needed to know.
Dasha had to know.
He systematically eliminated the impossible. He narrowed in on the gods that could and could not be the shadow before him.
But there was little to go off, leading him to give a simple nod. What could he say? The string of words the masked man said made little sense to him. There was too much to consider and too much to risk.

’Lucifer and Michael, perhaps?’
Lucifer, the Devil, Satan, the Originator of Evil in the King James Bible. The name Lucifer meant the Morning Star, a translation carried over from the late-4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was a Latin word that slowly became analogous with the devil himself despite originally being affiliated with the Roman-Greek god Venus.
Lucifer often referred to the devil prior to his fall. When the Morning Star returned, divine retribution would strike Earth? But why regard Lucifer as an angel? After falling, was he not considered a demon? Even if Lucifer returned to being an angel, why would his appearance alongside Michael’s cause the Earth to suffer? Michael was in the Heavenly Games managing Valhalla’s Colosseum and he was regarded as a great, powerful angel in the public whispers.
