Hell was right. Zeph thought that the worst he was going to have to face was a wrathful Alorna Zis screaming: "Wing chasing Bastard," at him every time he couldn't avoid him. That illusion was shattered the second that he arrived.
At first he thought that Achcon Dolar was terrified of him because his appearance in full part-time Angel mode could be a little scary. Tom also told him he still smelled a little bit like sulfur when he was coming to terms with his sudden passing. Officially it was listed as heart failure. But as Stella Azul and Archon Crix Zis rushed into his Admiral's quarters looking frantic and devastated he knew that wasn't the case as they could not see his wings and he already slipped the halos back onto his ring finger.
