Pentious vs. Lute Prologue: The Serpent
Sir Pentious sits on Emily's couch, examining the angelic blade he was given shortly after he got to Heaven. He had no problem with killing people while in hell, but the permanence of angelic steel makes him uncomfortable, especially finding friends in the denizens of Heaven such as Kayla. He knows that just months ago he could have seen all of his friends fall to the same weapons. His sacrifice had brought him to Heaven but for so many others they were simply erased when they met their end at angelic magic. Just then his phone that Emily had given him begins to ring.
“Hello? Missss Emily, is everything okay?” Pentious says.
The little Seraphim anxiously answers, “Pen, we have a problem. Somehow Lute knows you're here, Sera is worried she might...try something soon. I keep telling her that Lute would be stupid to try to kill a redeemed soul, but Sera isn't convinced that will stop her.”
Pentious stays silent for a moment, unsure of what he should ask next. A wave of fear swims through his veins. “Does ssshe know you've been hiding me? Are you in danger too?” He finally responds.
“Don't worry about me, Pen, the only thing dumber than harming you would be to attack a Seraphim. Sera and I will keep you safe. Though I was hoping she would have been...less vengeful considering the circumstances.” Emily says with a disappointed tone.
“Lute...doesssn't strike me as the type to think thingsss through when it comes to revenge. Pleassse be careful, dear.” Pentious warns as he ends the call.
He takes a moment to process the situation, thinking back to how he felt when Adam broke Alastor's shield.
“Eggiesss, can you come here for a moment?” Pentious's voice shakes a bit with nervousness.
Phil, Eggbert, Shelley, and Gregg gather around.
“MINIONSss! The time has come to prepare defenssses. We have been identified by an exorcist...the exorcissst.” He takes the tone of a commander.
“Sure thing, Boss! We're ready for anything.” Phil proudly shouts.
The other eggs all murmur in agreement. Pentious looks at the eggs lovingly like a father to his children. Phil has apparently become the defacto leader of the bunch. As they all take a stiff stance and salute Pentious leans down and gives them a gentle hug, uncertain where this situation will leave them.
