The Struggle
Gadrial looked as if she had died. Her skin turned paler than it already was and her eyes widened like a ghost.
"Thoth… What are you saying?" She said and her voice cracked.
Thoth licked his lips, Lucian did not say anything because he had figured it out. Uriel would have to kill himself in order to kill Nakir and then he would take the heart from Uriel's chest and replace Lucifer's.
"It is the only way, Gadrial. Uriel is the reason why Nakir is still alive. They share the same lifeline."
"Tell me you are lying!" Gadrial screamed as tears formed in her eyes, "Tell me Uriel does not have to die!"
Thoth hung his head, Lucian did not meet her gaze and Gabriel had joined them but did not utter a word.
Lucian turned to her and He wondered why Thoth did not tell her that he had a plan. The plan that he would become Uriel's life force and that he would make it out alive.
