Then, beneath the fallen angel Maronos's gaze—a mix of terror, excitement, and delight—she produced a ritual knife.
Maronos was a self-disciplined angel, but self-discipline was merely a branch of curiosity for figures like scholars. A spellcaster spending five or six nights straight without sleep studying spells could hardly be
