Chapter 92

After Kathrine's sacrifice, life went on. Paul raised Joshua better than most fathers. Joshua felt loved and happy. At the age of twenty-three Joshua, who was still living with his father, broke his arm while constructing houses for the settlement. It was a stupid mistake, and he may have been showing off for some Nephilim girls who were walking by. Joshua's boss, his father, took him to see Agnus to make sure the bone was set correctly. Paul had urged his son to wait on ascending until he had a child of his own. Joshua didn't understand why, but trusted his father's words.

When he arrived, Joshua noticed a woman that Agnus was treating. This woman was bald, pale, and weak. This struck Joshua as very strange, Nephilim didn't get sick, and there were no humans in the settlement. However, as strange as this was, what really caught Joshua's attention was how absolutely beautiful this sickly looking woman was. She even smelled like pure happiness to him.
