Damien smiled pleasantly. With the Light filling his body, he managed to rise, the effects of whatever drug he had been pumped with burning away before the molten power of something much greater than mere chemicals.
"I am fine, no medical assistance will be required, dear Asha."
Damien's eyes turned to the woman who had attacked him.
He took a step forward, sure and true, his gaze penetrating. "You, my dear, will show us to your friend. They have much to answer for."
The look of fear in the woman's eyes was satisfying. Let the world know the danger of crossing Damien Oakland.

Damien had rented a hotel - not in his own name, of course, he used his friends in Moscow to arrange it - and sat down with the curious Elias and Asha. They intrigued him, particularly the black-tempered child. The boy's sullen mood swings and protective nature endeared him to Damien.

They sat in the luxurious room designated to them. Damien relaxed in the leather cushioned chair, his legs crossed and propped up on the arm. "A fascinating tale these...Inferi fellows spun for us. Immortality? Gods?"

"So, my friends,"
he said, glancing at the two strangers. "Shall we take a trip across the world to find out the truth of these claims?"
