**Why had she turned back? Couldn't she see the Seeker?
No, of course she couldn't. The Seeker was hiding itself
from her, and she was a Lightbringer, so she didn't suspect a
thing. It took a bit of the Darkness to really understand and
see what the Dark was capable of, and a Lightbringer
wouldn't have Darkness in her. That was a Watcher's job, to
see the Dark and know it for what it was.**

As #6 is out on Friday -- time for a stroll down memory lane. :D

I have to admit -- how the hard right Church priests turning into the Crusade -- you know if magic was real & they had access to it -- totally believable. All about who can impose control over ideas & access to information.

What I like about this twist vs demon's librarian is the men are 'volunteers' in a sense -- they are enhanced to redeem themselves from what they were before. Tainted by choice -- not by genetics -- unlike the drakulien.

Don't get me wrong, they aren't all sweetness and light. They are very 'real' people, they are capable of normal human resentment, anger, etc but when push comes to shove violence isn't their first instinct, or if it is - never goes to the extreme of wanting a death. The fire element is the lead vocal in a band that occasionally gets into bar brawls during their sets.
