The Holy Trinity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798244392548)

"Here then is what we face: The world is in chaos. The humans are suffering, and it is directly due to our actions. We have unknown Gods occupying the Outpost, looking down upon us with intentions we can only assume are unfriendly. Lucifer and Raguel are off on their own campaign--of what, we have no idea.

"And now, after countless millennia, the Nephilim have returned. But instead of the cohesive pair of mere days ago, they are now split into two separate and opposing camps. And as if that weren't enough...the male Nephilim, Adam, has apparently re-lit the Eternal Flame and taken it as his own.

"And don't forget about all the undead still roaming the planet or the imminent threat of human nuclear engagement or the fact that nearly half the world is still in darkness. I could go on...."

Remiel had been slowly moving from Angel to Angel, addressing them individually and collectively simultaneously, stopping in front of Kathy. He bowed deeply, reverently.

"And you, my young Goddess, are the hope of it all."

The vast majority of Angels nodded and mumbled their agreement.

"Through it all, you alone have done anything to solve, to fix, to save. What you did with the undead... I have no words. Your power cubes have saved humanity from another dark age. Ridding the world of a madman we'd all grown tired of, whether we choose to admit it or not," he looked at Gabriel when he said this.

"You are a new kind of God. Or maybe the oldest of Gods now returned to take your rightful place. You have power that boggles, abilities that stupefy, innovation that astounds," Remiel was locked in on Kathy. She began blushing slightly.

"But... you are so young and so naive. You lack the maturity you so desperately need; we so desperately need you to have. And now you're with him," he said, pointing a finger at Azreal, "who has never been the pillar of maturity."

"Hey!" exclaimed Azreal.

"Exactly," Remiel turned back to Kathy. "But I believe in you! For whatever reason, you are here now, and our hope lies with you. So, I beg you to enlist our wisdom and experience. And we Twelve--we must take another vote. I beseech you all to make it a unanimous decision. Nothing short will suffice. We must unite fully and completely behind Kathy, our Goddess!"

The way Remiel said her name, "Kathy," meant more at that moment than anything else he'd said. No longer the Nephilim or the female Nephilim, he'd said her name. Kathy....

Kathy The Goddess.
