Finally Akiva and Azrael meet face to face for the first time since he pardoned her life... also, Darcy's okay! woohoo!
AZRAEL: "You are stubborn." Akiva looks up in surprise when the black and blue hem of a robe appears before her. Azrael stands looking down from behind his mask. AZRAEL: "I pardoned your life, and you live recklessly." Akiva gets to her knees in a panic. AKIVA: "Where... Where is Darcy?" Azrael turns his head to look behind him, at the great veil of white and red stars. He points to one and it shines brighter, a little purple. AZRAEL: "She lives. The pathway returned her to her body. And other non-Death witch would have perished... But as you have discovered, Darcy Mendoza is no ordinary human."
