seal.”
    “Death? What was the third seal?”
    “Correct, and the third seal was Famine, the Horseman on a black steed. We’re getting ahead of ourselves, though. It won’t take much to tip the balance and when it does, the first three Horsemen will ride again, awaiting their brother. That war that has been threatened by the humans in power, will come to pass at the hand of mankind, provoked by the riders. When it does, the Fourth Horseman will ride and with him, Hades will follow. A fourth of all mankind will be killed by sword, by famine, by plague of mass disaster, or by the wild beasts that roam earth.”
    “I think I’m getting a headache.” Though this new information was a dark cloud hovering over her , she couldn’t help but feel hopeful. At least now she knew what she had to stop or try to stop, anyway. A part of her insisted it was possible that she could overcome these challenges and save them all. That gave her hope.
    “It’s probably best we stop ; it’s a lot to take in, especially in your condition. I believe your family is home anyway.” As the Fallen arrived just outside, he excused himself from her presence. As much as he was enjoying her company, he was not yet ready for the open arms of those who chose to fall from grace, whatever their reason was.
     

     
    Alice and Briathos found themselves enjoying each other’s company more as each day passed by, each teaching the other about their worlds. Briathos would use his healing ability on her in exchange for some friendly banter while she lay helplessly tingly on her couch. She took the time to tell her story, from when she was little Jane to when she became Alice and up to the present day. He was enamored by her presence, so much so, that they each felt closer to the God they grew up with which was better than dwelling on the distance between themselves and the God they seemed to know now. Alice wondered which version their Creator truly was, and she couldn’t help but hope for the God that they remembered.

    “What is with the giant ass grin?” Jake asked, punching Cole in the shoulder.
    “Nothing, man.” He stared at Jake’s confused face, deciding to let him in on it. “Alice. She’s happy. I can feel it in my bones; she’s hopeful.”
    Jake smiled genuinely, “Now that is great news. Let’s go see her.” The guys pushed each other, playing around as they walked up to the front door. “She might be able to kick my ass but I won’t take it easy on you,” he said, grabbing the back of Cole’s head in an attempt to put him into a headlock.
    You wish you were taking it easy on me , Alice thought toward them both before they burst through the front door. “Hey guys,” she shouted into the kitchen from the living room where she lay, still quite tingly. Cole became increasingly aware that she was, in a sense, frozen in that position. “I’m fine, Cole. Truly.” He felt the tension roll off of his shoulders as if a blaze were melting ice.
    “Feeling any better today?” Jake asked , as he plopped onto a nearby chair.
    “Yeah , I do, actually. Still really sore, but Briathos was just helping me with that.” She felt the shift in the room; no one was a hundred percent comfortable with the angel’s presence, except Alice, of course. Some even thought it was a trap, that he could be a spy. Alice knew Rogziel had cast him down with malice. She had seen what lay beneath him and a part of Cole could feel that, too. Though he didn’t want to be, Briathos was on their side.
    “Relax , you two; he helped me with the angel cream.”
    “The what?” Jake asked , laughing.
    “That’s just what I call it. Sure , make fun of me while I’m stuck on this couch.” She tried to stifle the laugh but was unsuccessful, which only sent them all into a large burst of laughter. It seemed that something dark was always waiting in the wings for them, but there were also times like this one, where they could just relax and
