“‘When the Virgin who shall be washed in blood, the final sacrifice, is offered to the Master, the demons will be unleashed, and the angels will make war with the evil ones. This sacrifice will be holy, and the one who offers it will be elevated in the Master’s kingdom. He is the Destroyer. The one called to fulfill the will of the Master. Long live the Master!’”
“This sacrifice is holy,” Alex said. “It’s different from the others. They weren’t called holy, were they?”
Logan searched through the pages copied from The Book. “Listen to this.
“‘When the time comes for the Master to send judgment on the earth, he will choose a servant, one who has been prepared. This demon will become the Destroyer. He will offer six perfect sacrifices before a plague is unleashed. Destruction will come upon the angels and the demons. Only those true to the Master will survive.’”
“I’m confused,” Monty said. “Is this Master on the side of the angels or the demons?”
“I guess he reigns over all of them,” Alex said.
Logan shook his head. “That doesn’t make much sense.”
“Right. Willow told me good cannot exist without evil. That demons were necessary. Some of them will be preserved through this war that’s supposed to begin after the plague.”
“Boy, the Bible is a lot easier to understand,” Logan said in a low voice. “Demons bad. Angels good.”
“But you said some angels fell.”
Her remembering he’d told her that caught Logan by surprise. “Yes. There are fallen angels. Lucifer was one.”
“So the Bible and The Book have some similarities.”
“But God doesn’t send demons out to hurt people,” Logan said. “He loves us. This god of Walker’s hates humanity.”
Alex gave him a strange look. “The Book teaches people are either angels or demons, and they have no choice. Their fate has already been determined. So Walker would never be able to accept God’s redemption as long as he believes his fate is locked in, right?” She looked away.
Monty stayed quiet, and Logan didn’t respond. But something stirred in his heart. Did Alex think she was locked in somehow? She had obviously been thinking about the Bible and its message of redemption. Could she be seeking God?
