Part 64 (1/2)

Michael added, ”And we need to find George, My King.”

As Sam nodded, Soresym spoke out. ”The snakes are no longer a concern. Seth has surrendered. Your army can search for the pieces of the Crystal Moon without interference.”

Sam turned to Michael. ”Create a search party for George as well. I want his head brought to me on a pike.”

The Home of Lasidious and Celestria.

Celestria backed away from the green flames within their fireplace, the visions of war fading as she turned to cup her lover's face in the palms of her hands. ”I can't wait to see Sam and Shalee's faces when they realize that Seth doesn't have the crystals.”

Lasidious sat down and put his feet up on the table. ”Yes, their expressions will be entertaining. I must admit, I didn't think the griffins would offer a.s.sistance. I wasn't sure if my ruse worked. I thought I was going to have to save Sam myself.”

Lasidious lowered his legs to the floor and motioned for Celestria to sit on his lap. ”I think there's enough confusion across Southern Grayham to keep the G.o.ds watching.”

Celestria reached down and rubbed her favorite part of her devil-G.o.d as she spoke. ”I agree, my love. You are conniving, my pet.”

The Mischievous One smiled as he brushed her hair clear of her neck. ”Our baby is safe in Susanne's care. The moments have come to turn our attention to Luvelles. Everything is going better than we could've hoped for. The next stage of our plan is ready to be implemented. But first, let's offer George a well-deserved rest. When the moment is right, I'm sure he'll make us proud once again.”

Lasidious lifted his G.o.ddess and carried her into their bedroom. ”Allow me to show you how much I've missed you.”

Celestria laughed as the door shut.
