Dedication

[Enzo Dolan]

Enzo's ill-ease was not soothed by the speech's finale. An Archangel order of Atharim, while inspiring, made him wonder who the individuals would be to fill such roles. The seven orders clearly mimicked the seven archangels of tradition, but how would the Regus implement them into action? Would each order have a different function? Deploy to different parts of the world? Most important, who would be drafted into such responsibilities? A pit, ominous as the gates to hell itself, threatened to open into his gut: what if they drafted him? He honored his family by dispatching the kinds of monsters that murdered them. The Regus argued the gods were just as monstrous, but it was hard to put a villainous mask on an amorphous face.
