A new day dawns as a hellish day came to an end. What awaits the last hope of the world the day after all hell broke loose and the messiah of the Nephilim took the first step in realizing his destiny? Ella Dee, Leon Taylor and Thelma Bates escaped the rise of Hell in Medenham only to come to the realization that they much like the rest of the world will be damned unless Malachi is stopped before he corrupts more souls for his army of succubae and incubi. Caught in the morning twilight Ella begins to recover and rebuild her strength from her battle wound while an eager Leon keeps a watchful eye over her as if his presence around her kept the forces of hell at bay.

"I am Ella Dee the last of the anointed ones and I am bound by destiny to thwart the efforts of the Fallen Angels in bringing about the End of Days. This is how I have lived my life for the past five hundred years. I will never know peace until I have fulfilled my destiny."

"But you –"Leon began but dropped it as suddenly as he brought it up.

"Failed, yes I know." Ella finished. "It is true I failed in my mission to prevent the End of Days however, as long as there is life in this body of mine I shall send Malachi back to the depths of hell from which he crawled out of with a ribbon wrapped around his pretty little neck."

"Is that what your heart desires?" Leon asked gazing into Ella's deep chocolate brown eyes.

"It matters not what my heart desires. This is who I am. I am the last of the anointed ones, the only one capable of putting an end to all of this." Ella returned making a due effort in avoiding Leon's gaze.

"Is this how you will always be? Putting your work before the desires of your heart? Leon probed hoping to convince Ella to choose her own path and not follow one that has been outlined for her.

"From this point onward I admit I do not know much however, my heart desires your well being and as far as I am concerned by putting an end to Malachi I am securing your life." Ella retorted making eye contact with Leon and attempted to give him a hopeful look.

"Then you know what your next step is then?" Leon asked.

"I haven't the slightest clue but, my dear Leon do not fret for we have the means to dispose of Malachi." Ella said motioning towards a large and heavy looking pewter tome sitting on a tree stump.

"The Book of Orokiah" Leon said following Ella's gaze onto the book that Thelma had snagged while they were fleeing the burning school into the local grove of trees.

"Where is Thelma?" Ella asked making a motion for Leon to bring her the book. Despite being an anointed one Ella was still recovering from her most recent failure at killing Malachi.

Leon carried the book to Ella and laid it in front of her. "She's out observing the town and what's left of the school. I doubt things will be the same now that Malachi is in power."

Ella began flipping frantically through the pages of the Tome of Orokiah when Thelma returned to camp still dressed as an angel. "Well I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news but, it seems that the entire town has gone all Malachi crazed, I swear they're just one day away from adding Malachiday to the work week. What's wrong with her?" Thelma asked Leon noticing that Ella had gone chalk pale (as if it were possible for her to get any paler.)

Leon now noticing the fear that was evident in Ella's eyes asked her what the matter was, Ella was speechless with horror.

"Well what's wrong with you now? You slay demons, you passed through the Realm of the Dead, hell you've seen Hell raised above ground so what on earth is capable of scaring the piss out of you..." Thelma said as she walked behind Ella peeking at the book of Orokiah and then she finally understood why Ella was horrified, the book was blank.

"Blank? What do you mean blank?" Leon asked sounding more confused than when he first saw Thelma as a ghost.

"Blank as in there is nothing there, nada, nothing, no words, no runic symbols, not even a vowel present that sort of blank." Thelma retorted going off on a tangent on what it means to be blank that Leon easily tuned out as he sat down next to Ella who was still flipping through the blank pages in disbelief.

"I can't believe it. The book is blank. A book just doesn't decide one day to erase itself does it?" Ella asked looking at Leon. Ella genuinely had the look of fear in her deep brown eyes; it was evident that she was completely in the dark on this matter.

Leon unable to respond to her rhetorical question just looked at her dumbly.

"Maybe it went blank when Malachi converted you into one of succubae? I mean the book of Orokiah was meant as a guide for the anointed ones right? Maybe when you changed sides it decided that you weren't worthy or something and erased itself?" Leon said sounding unsure even of his own feeble attempt at consoling Ella.

"That can't be it." Thelma chimed in. "Remember you used the book to figure out how to kill Ella and that was well after she became a succubae." Leon shot Thelma a look that could have killed her dead (had she not been dead already) for even bringing up the brief moment when he was turned into one of Malachi's underlings.

"It's blank because this has never happened before." Ella finally muttered.

"Come again?" Thelma asked very confused.

"As an anointed one I was meant to prevent the End of Days from occurring, since the book of Orokiah was meant as a guide to assist the anointed ones in preventing the End of Days it only makes sense that it would go blank when the End of Days occurred. No one knows what happens once the End of Days has been brought forth hence why the book of Orokiah is now useless to us." Ella said summing up all her fears into one thought and cast the very large paper weight aside. "Thelma where did you put the bag of trinkets you took from my room as we made our escape?"

"Over there sitting next to that boulder." Thelma said pointed to a shabby brown pack resting up against an assortment of different sized rocks.

Ella stumbled to her feet, still weakened from her wound, and made her way to the pack resting all of her hopes on what lies within.
