Well, that didn't go quite as well as I'd planned it. All that really resulted was that I got hit over the head twice, bound and gagged, and had to sleep on a couch for nearly a week.
The couch, at least, was comfortable.
I did conclude that none of the 'death gods' are in alliance with Rosiel the angel. It seems to be more like a tentative truce, and one that could be broken at the drop of a hat.
But me being kidnapped had nothing much to do with Joshua at all. Rosiel himself doesn't interest me unless it gets me close to the boy. The evil I sense in him isn't his own... I don't know if it's borrowed power or just disconnected from his soul, but it interests me nonetheless. Even if I'm not on Midgard any longer, that doesn't mean I can slack.
Perhaps while the high-ranking angel is injured, from what I've heard, I can drop by and pay Joshua a visit. If I'm lucky, this time I won't be clobbered and bound...
Mayura, Reiya, did you miss me? Could someone put some tea on...?
