"I don't know, either." Zeke admitted.

"I know his mana really can't intervene with celestial or infernal affairs, but... I don't know where Fallen are in the spectrum." he said.

"We can TRY." he told her.

"If nothing else, we can ask him to try." he said further.

"...at this point, I'll take ANY way to raise her chances of being safe."

"Then do so." Zeke replied.

"I need to warn Kelly about this." he told her.

"But yeah, if nothing else, if Liv can be protected, that will be a massive load off my shoulders." he admitted.

"...because I don't want anything to happen to either of you." he said further.

"I'd never forgive myself if something did."

Zeke just sighed quietly.

"I'll try." he said.

"Again, it's all I can promise." he told her.

"But if I get attacked, I'll make damn sure that if I'm going down, I'm taking at least one with me." he then continued.

"I won't be easy prey, I can guarantee THAT."

Zeke returned the embrace and held her close for as long as he could, almost reluctant to let her go when she pulled back.

"I will." he said.

"Anything I learn, I'll relay to you." he promised.

"Anyway, I should get going." he told her.

"I need to try and see if I can find out what's happening, and try and keep my loved ones safe."

Zeke nodded.

"Got it." he said.

"Bi-hourly living check-ins!" he said further with a salute.

"Got it, Cap'n!' he told her.

To some that would be seen as sarcasm. She knew this was a little bit of levity to try and ease even a LITTLE of the tension.

"If you don't hear from me every 2 hours, call. If you get no answer... then I'm gone." he finished, being deadly serious now.

Zeke reached forward and gently took her hands in his own.

"I promise." he said.

The two then left the office, and she continued on her way, while HE took out his phone.

He then dialed Kelly's number, and waited.

"Come on, come on, pick up." he muttered. He was a little impatient right now, but it was understandable.

If she didn't answer, he was going to the Fyrane manor himself to FIND her.

"Damn it!" he cursed, shoving the phone into his pocket. He then disappeared from where he was, appearing in the Fyrane's backyard. He looked around, seeing nobody there, before marching up to the back door.

And once there, he started pounding on it.

"KELLY!" he shouted.

"KELLY, YOU IN THERE?" he yelled further.

He was trying his best to keep his imagination under control, but... sadly, it started to fill his mind with horrible thoughts. She'd already been caught. She was injured. She was dead. Alone. Tortured by the Fallen.

And he started to get more frantic with his knocking.

Zeke looked ready to bolt right then and there, but stopped himself from doing so.

"Sorry, Mrs..." he started to say, before pausing. "...Kiczys...? Fyrane...?" he mumbled confusedly.

Casey just sighed.

"Let's make it simple. How about just 'Casey'?" the woman suggested.

"Right, sorry." Zeke apologised.

"And I'm hunting her down, myself." he said. "There's something she needs to URGENTLY know. And... well, I mean, she should know this about a half-hour ago." he stated.

"If she's with Lucas, is there a reason she's not answering her phone?" he asked her... before pausing, his face turning slightly red.

"...besides the potential obvious one..." he mumbled sheepishly.

"...ah, right." Zeke said. "She IS bad for that..." he recalled.

"That makes sense." he said further.

"Then I need to beat feet to the draydin's home." he told her.

"Again, sorry to have bothered you like this, but... well, as I said, this is pretty urgent." he said further, before pausing and remembering that Casey was a necromancer, and thus in tune with the rhythm of the afterlife.

"...have YOU been feeling a sense of unease and imbalance as of late?" he then inquired.

Zeke bit his lip, and sighed.

"Emelie's missing." he said, figuring she had a right to know the full truth.

"And my Uncle Michael is gone. Believed to have become a Fallen." he went on. "To make things worse, the Harmony know that something is off, meaning Emelie hasn't just messed off for an impromptu vacation." he continued.

"Oh, and when Michael disappeared, he took the heavenly sword Ascalon with him. And a Harmony member had a battle with a Fallen... that was using that blade." he told her further.

"So your description is fairly accurate." he went on.

"Those associated with the archangels may very well be in danger, and Kelly, as the wielder of Excalibur, might very well be a target for the Fallen. I am to protect her and make her aware of that." he then finished.
