Phoenix Contract: Part Two (Fallen Angel Watchers) - Plot & Excerpts
“Magnus?” Matthew said. The priest dragged the oxygen mask from his face. “It’s nearly dawn. You should be going before the sun rises,” he whispered, struggling to lift his head. Magnus allowed the magic that permitted him to walk unseen among humans to dissipate. He stepped forward. “How did you know I was here?” Matthew mustered a faint smile. “The shadows in the room are longer when you’re present, old friend.” A frown furrowed Magnus’ brow as he cast a suspicious glance at the wall. The room’s blackout curtains were drawn, and only a dim nightlight lit the space. The Celt issued a soft snort. “My magic doesn’t alter the shadows,” he replied with a sour note. “If you say so,” Matthew agreed. “Have you been brooding in that corner all night?” “Yes, and I don’t brood.” Magnus did not pursue the original question further. Matthew had his secrets, Magnus kept his own.
