So he tended to pieces of metal and proportions of wood, and only coiled his attention elsewhere when Noah appeared at his side, there in silence. For a moment, Deimos permitted the quiet to stretch, eyes flicking downward, watching as the timber curved and carved back to form, as the hinges were no longer busted.
The Sentinel had saved them; and that much was clear. Were it not for Evie’s call in the dark or the wake of Noah’s ability to seemingly shatter illusions, perhaps the Sword would have remained up on that peak, haunted and horrified, taunted and tortured, under the cover of blood and crimson, ichor and deceit.
Belial hooted overhead and Zuriel stayed close by, and the deep rumble of his voice carried through. “I did not get a chance to say thank you,” with a modest, but tired crook of a smile, finally turning his gaze back upon the other. “You all right?”

we exhume our enemy's bones
we are battling, hungry beasts
