I can sense and see the life within you, your radiant spirit.\u201d Helena found his revelation deeply disturbing.<\/p>\n<p>Her hand flew to her mouth, eyes growing wide. She worried he might have knowledge of her private thoughts, that he might discern she was carrying his child. She worried how he might react, considering her condition would surely change the whole dynamic of their relationship. Her concerns doubled when Simon took her hand and, reading the look in her eyes, said, \u201cYou worry for nothing, my love.<\/p>\n<p>I would never use this power for anything but our good.\u201d In an involuntary reaction, she pulled her hand from his and covered her stomach as if to shield her pregnancy from the malevolent force Simon had encountered. She tried to convince him to give it up. \u201cHow will you take the prophet\u2019s skull to Caesarea, Simon?<\/p>\n<p>It belongs to Herod. If you steal it from him, he will surely kill you.\u201d Simon laughed. \u201cHerod lives in terror of the prophet and of his Sacred Skull. I hold that power over him now. He will not dare defy me. Besides, he\u2019s not here. He\u2019s gone to his palace in Caesarea. I will address him about the skull there.\u201d Helena could hear new confidence in Simon\u2019s tone when he spoke of Herod, a strength she had not seen in him before.<\/p>\n<p>It was a dramatic change that, in a strange way, she found attractive, though it served to trouble her further. ~ OceanofPDF.com \u2018Til Seven Lives Are Given Chester, Nova Scotia, Present Day In Rick\u2019s next awareness, Monica was standing in front of him calling his name. She had a look of concerned consternation on her face, and she said, \u201cIt\u2019s like you went away for a minute.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s going on? You\u2019ve had another of your visions, haven\u2019t you.\u201d Her tone carried a note of impatience. The monster was beginning to peek out over the edges of her normally studious calm. She repeated herself, \u2018I said, you promised me breakfast.\u201d Rick blinked and said, \u201cYeah, yeah, sorry.<\/p>\n<p>I just had a thought, that\u2019s all.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Digital Book \u2013 ISBN 978-0-9850791-9-2 Print Book \u2013 ISBN 979-8-9946593-0-4 Copyright \u00a9 2025 B.

He requires no invitation, no place at the table, no greeting or salutation. He glides unseen through any celebration, settling like a shadow in a dark corner or watching from within the flames of a fire. He could as easily inhabit one of the invited guests or all of them at once, but this was Herod\u2019s birthday, and it was Herod he\u2019d come to seduce.<\/p>\n<p>Unknown to his host, Dagon had prearranged the night\u2019s entertainment. There was nothing more for him to do but relax and watch the evening unfold. Herod\u2019s recent wife, Herodias, sat in her place at the center of the women\u2019s table. She smiled alluringly at her husband, as he sat, centered at the men\u2019s table twelve feet away.<\/p>\n<p>The two long tables faced each other, enclosing a wide aisle between, where the entertainers would perform.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
