“Judas! What are you doing here? I thought you were gone from here for good.”
Judas whirled around. “No, not for good, Lupercus. When I saw what happened at the club, I knew you had come out of hiding and had to act quickly. When I returned, I learned that she no longer goes from moon to moon, but almost every waking minute she is stalking prey. I demand that you release her or I will kill you.”
“Kill me? Judas, there is much wrong with what you say. Number one, we both know that I am a god and far above your warrior capabilities. Number two, I am immortal.” He shook his head. “I must say, I’m disappointed in you, Judas. It’s not like you to forget so easily.”
“As usual you underestimate me, Lupercus. Perhaps you’ll allow me to tell you why.”
Lupercus threw back his head and laughed. “You’re very amusing, Judas. A little strange, but amusing.” He quirked his eye at him and continued. “All right, what is this bit of news you have to tell me?”
