Sorry it took a little while to update.

This is Jack's point of view for when he and Mimi get their swords in Revelations. When they talk they are quotes from the book.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Duh.

Veni! Vidi! Vici!

Jack's POV

My mind was racing as my "mother", Trinity glided into the room holding two ebony boxes. I felt an overwhelming sense of déjà vu as he remembered every other lifetime where this ceremony had taken place.

"But where's Charles?" Mimi cried from beside me.

"I tried, my dear. But he won't leave his study." Trinity said, disturbed.

Charles had hardly left his study since losing his position as Regis in the Conclave. He wasn't the man I had known, the strong, determined man who wouldn't let anything get in the way of his goals. I shuddered slightly at the change in him, how his spirit had broken.

But even that couldn't bring down my excitement.

"It's fine. We don't need him." I told Mimi, eager to begin the ceremony.

"But without an archangel's blessing-" Mimi continued.

"They will be just as deadly." I contradicted her impatiently.

"Nothing will change their power. It comes from the two of us. Now, please continue mother."

Trinity nodded solemnly. "I would be honored."

She dimmed the lights and the boxes emitted a soft glow.

"I apologize for my reluctance for letting you two bond so early. Perhaps it is because I am saddened that I can no longer be bonded to my soul mate." She said shakily.

Trinity's story didn't have a happy ending. She was the Sandalphon, the Angel of Silence. She had lost her twin in the Crisis in Rome. She had only married Charles for convenience when Allegra broke their bond, but she still mourned her lost Salgiel.

She opened the case and inside lay a beautifully crafted, jeweled scabbard.

"Kneel, Abbadon."

I kneeled down in front of her.

"With the authority of the Heavens vested in me. I, Sandalphon, confer upon you all the rights and privileges appertaining thereto as the true owner of Eversor Orbis."

World Breaker

She tapped my shoulders with the blade and I felt a surge of power.

"Rise, Abbadon of the Dark." She commanded.

I rose with a grim smile on my face. I have always hated my role in the world. I bring destruction, and terror and yet, I will never shy away from my duties. I have always aspired to be something more than I am.

That is what brought me here. My love of the light was my downfall.

Trinity handed me my sword.

I feel a sense of rightness, holding it once more. Of power and remembrance. A sword is an extension of one's self.

While we received our swords every lifetime, they haven't been used in battle for millennia.

I looked up from my musings to see my sister being given her sword. I nodded at her.

We unsheathed them and held them up to the Heavens.

"We accept these weapons as our divine right. Forged in Heaven, cast on Earth, they are our attendants in our search for Redemption. "

"Use them only in direst need,

Keep them hidden from foes,

Strike only to kill."

I stared at the blade, remembering the fear in wrought in my enemies. With the same blade, I conquered worlds in the name of the Almighty, fell to Earth out of Heaven, and fought the Silver Blood army in Rome.

I delicately placed the sword back in the ebony box, seeing my reflection in its shiny surface.

I had a feeling I was going to be needing it soon.

In case anyone doesn't know "Veni, Vidi, Vici" means I came, I saw, I conquered, in latin. It's a Roman phrase.

Before I update the next chapter could I have 5 reviews?! Just 5. And if there are more I will write an extra long chapter.

And if anyone has any ideas from the first book, could you send them in?

Also, last thing, I swear, the lifetime when the Blue Bloods lived in France, what time period was that?
