Michael hesitated a moment before finishing. Times were changing, and he had to adapt. "You are the only one I trust to do this."

"She saw a flaring halo around his head, radiant in gold and blue. It shouted of glory and power to come"
"No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."
