Malcolm’s car is not in the driveway. I hope his meeting with Lily had been copacetic. I don’t care to be alone, so I knock at Emese’s front door. “Hello, lovely to see you,” she says, and invites me into the foyer. “How are you?” “I’m not sure.

“She is the consort of Azazel! You don’t think I have a valid reason for wanting to destroy her before she produces offspring just as dangerous as the seirim!” “Seirim?” I asked. She slapped her head, frustrated. “Do you not know anything about what you are getting yourself into?” “Azazel mentioned them once, but did not elaborate” “The seirim are legends. They are goat demons who dwell in the desert. They are the offspring of Azazel and his first wife Naamah, who also slept with Semjaza.”…
