The Pentagram Child: Part 2 (Afterlife Saga Book 5) Read Free

this earth with but seeing my girl in danger overrode all of my rational mentality.
    So I took her place and could only pray that in my absence she would remain safe. I had to believe that or my demon would take over completely and seeing where I had now come, I needed that belief more than ever. It would be so easy to let myself go completely and free the beast that lived at the centre of my rage.
    It also wanted his girl safe and unharmed and anything that threatened that only needed to be eradicated in the eyes of the demon. But what the cretin Alex didn’t know and what my Keira had to trust in was that I too had a plan.
    Belphegor had been more than a little helpful after our persuasive chat and I was surprised when so little force was needed for him to crack. It had been a disappointment really as I had hoped to have relieved some of the mounting pressure I felt from having my Electus taken from me. But one look at me entering that Dublin pub and his vessel had nearly relieved itself. After that he had told me all I needed to know about one Alex Cain and his sordid family history.
    I had to hand it off to Sammael at the sheer depth of his plans. They had taken root near the very beginning of time. But unbeknown to all of us it was only through the right alignment of the planets and all levels of Heaven and Hell could such a feat be accomplished. And that feat was the key to unleashing the Titans. A key that I now held in my hand at the mouth of Tartarus.
    I looked down at the vial of blood in my palm and then back up at the black volcanic wasteland that surrounded the Mountain. I knew where I needed to go and what lay in the belly of the prison, a fact I didn’t relish.
    Inside the mountain was where the prisoners were kept. Where the worst of Hell’s demons that could not be tamed remained forever bound.
    The sides of Mount Tartarus weren’t made from demonic rock formations at all but something far more sinister. It was a steep maze made from a mass of Devil’s soulweed. A demonic plant life that entwined itself with the fossilised bones which represented the mortal victims of each incarcerated inmate.
    As each new prisoner was added, so did the walls of the mountain. It grew from the lost souls of the lives taken and in fact became a piece of the guilty’spunishment. And all this is spawn from the core in which it surrounds. Its centre was the heart from which true evil was born …
    The Titans.
    Thinking these gruesome facts made me clench my fist to a point where I needed to remember what I held in my hand. Knowing now that Alex had in fact orchestrated the whole reason I had bound myself to Tartarus was one that made my blood ignite with rage. All this time forces had been at work of the likes I had never known. For an enemy unseen, is an enemy that will come bearing a blade at your back and find a way to pierce your heart from the shadows.
    I had always wondered why the leaders of this realm had put certain measures in place to prevent most Demons coming here but I had absentmindedly never put two and two together.
    It was around the same time that the last of the Eves was found and finally a stop to her resurrection had been made. It was so blindingly obvious now but at the time I just considered Sammael’s reasons were for personal gain and nothing more.  
    So now it was time for me to face the Demons I had once put there and in doing so putting the whole world at risk.
    “Oh yeah, this is a great plan Dom.” I said to myself before unfolding my wings and crossing the expansive space. The black surface looked like cracked concrete slabs that had been laid down with flowing lava as their foundations. It almost looked like miniature amber rivers were glowing through the crust.
    It was said that when the Titans were defeated they were imprisoned in their once Temple of worship on top of Mount Olympus. Then the mountain they had once called home split open and the Temple fell into the earth and continued
