there is the demon vial. Demona has experience with this method. She once captured a demon with a vial and an incantation when she was one of our top agents.”
That was also the day that I captured Kearne.
“Secondly, there’s the use of vampire mageia ; depending on the vampire’s ability they could easily destroy a demon. The same can be said for witches and their magical abilities, depending on their strength and knowledge,” Kerrick replied. “Demona also has experience with this method. Can you still use any of your mageia ?”
Demona nodded. She remembered using her magic to incinerate the demon, a lilitu. That was the time she finally, successfully willed her magic into use. Until that time, she had ignored the possibility that she could use magic or that she could be the Mythos . It wasn’t until later that she found out what they believed to be a rare elemental mageia , was actually just her magic abilities from being half elvin.
“This will be useful in helping our defenders with the demons. What about the possessed?” Molony asked.
“Will it not reduce the number of those possessed, if we remove the demons from the equation?” Darius said.
Demona raised her hand and extended two fingers almost like she was raising her hand in a classroom. “Capturing the demons and using mageia, or magic, is quicker than an exorcism.”
Molony nodded his head in understanding. “Anything’s going to help.”
“Good... Kerrick can make arrangements with Demona to bring the artifact to you. I expect he will provide me with a fully detailed report at the end of each day regarding your progress.” He turned his head slightly in Kerrick’s direction. “I expect there to be progress.”
Darius reclasped his hands behind his back once again and made his way back toward the road in silence. Demona was relieved to see Darius’ back as he departed. She and Molony stared at one another a moment, until Demona turned her attention to Kerrick whom remained where he stood during the parley.
“I’ll pick you up tomorrow at the TGHC headquarters,” Demona said. “What time’s best?” She placed her hands on her hips.
“Morning is fine.”
Demona’s brows creased. “Won’t Darius need you for field assignments?”
“Since you left we’ve acquired a number of new agents. Darius has been busy preparing for our confrontation with the demon priest,” Kerrick said.
“Fine, I’ll see you in the morning.” Demona shook her finger in his direction. “Just keep in mind that you enter our headquarters as an ally, not an enemy. Keep your fangs under control,” Demona said.
Kerrick glared at Demona. “Remember, I was the one that taught you to keep your hunger under control?”

Demona stepped out of her green sedan and watched Kerrick carefully as he emerged from the passenger side. She planned to watch his every move as he entered into Roost Haven, because she did not trust him with so many light beings. He paused for a moment to take in the headquarters and slowly panned his surroundings.
His eyes grew wide and nodded in approval. “It’s more impressive than I imagined,” Kerrick said.
Demona did not respond. If only he knew that our headquarters only looked more impressive now, because of the incoming volunteers and refugees. Since the demon priest’s arrival, the GLC headquarters had almost quadrupled in size and its population had increased tenfold. If it had not been for the donations sent from the Council in Gleannbroch, Virginia, GLC’s main headquarters, they would still be without shelter. The aid gave supplies for the barracks, armory, hospital wing, sleeping quarters, etc. The Council elders sent an abundance of resources such as food, weapons, and medical equipment in order to make sure that the light and neutral beings would not be in need.
Kerrick followed Demona as she entered through the
