Lucifer combines my staff with the sword. He throws it back to me. I feel the power of the sun. It burns my hand. I see blood dripping. It smells like burning flesh, but the pain will be worth it. I slam my staff into the ground. The earth breaks. A beam shoots up and punctures the sky.

"Yes... Yes... it has begun." Lucifer smiles.

I feel pain in my chest. Claudia runs forward.

"Stop her." I wince.

"My lord." Lucifer flicks his hand.

A snake shoots out of his sleeves and ties Terry and Claudia to the wall of the cliff. I wince as I step forward. I feel the power of my staff. I feel the power like nothing I've ever felt before. It rises up. 

"Callum! Stop!" Claudia yells.

"Noom eht kearb." I chant.

The beam starts breaking branches into the heavens.

"Srats eth kaerb." I chant.

My eyes start glowing. They feel like they're filling up with blood or tar. I wince. I have to do this. There is no other way. I wince and come to my knees. My knees feel like they're breaking. It feels like they're crumbling like stand.

"Erom on seiks eht." I say.

I feel my chest burning. I feel like my organs are exploding inside me. Blood drips from my face. I feel everything being squeezed. I feel like my lungs are on fire. It's something ghastly. It's evil itself.
