TEMPLE SUMMONING

Pen has helped Rowan successfully summon the god Asphodel. At what cost ? Rowan has unveiled his motives, and Pen seeks to curb the budding conflict before it comes to a head.

Let's say he isn't expecting the outcome of his decision.

How did he Know that killing and eating an angel would give him wings

he didn't know that completely. only that ancient texts describing rituals for gaining a temporary pair of wings mentioned needing divinity in your system for the ritual to have success.

in ancient times, when Asphodel and his angels were closer to the living, this probably wasn't difficult to achieve. It might have been a ritual partaken in following a communion between the living and the divine, when a shared meal might have imparted a safe dose of divinity into the mortals' systems.

Killing and eating an angel does have the intended effect of delivering the angel's divinity into the body of its consumer, but at. a VASTLY higher dosage. Which he was entirely unaware of.

It wasn't easy to kill an angel, nor was it fun, but he was sure he had to do it. So he did. The idea of partaking in its' holy flesh was sickening, but he had to do it to progress. So he did. And he somehow convinced Pen to do it, too. And, once they got over the. probably terribly soul-wracking psychoactive holy sickness from consuming more divinity than their mortal [ish, for Pen's sake,] bodies could handle. They successfully preformed the ritual with each other.

That extra divinity is going to stay in their systems for a Long Time. They're both keeping their wings for a good while.
