"What do you mean, Christina?" Philip, the young priest, asked. Christian smiled as she looked at Ethan and Innocent.

"Innocent Child, Blood Tame, Blood Wild.
Not touched by sin, The Light will win
Not woman born, not touched by scorn
Born the Longest Night, to save us from our plight.
Twice raised Child of Chaos and Order
Once raised badly to see the border
Raised again so he knew love
He brings Peace, like the dove."

"I don't understand," Philip said. "Not touched by sin? Not born of woman?"

"Innocent was made when Ripper and I mixed our magic. Ripper is Order, I am Chaos. Innocent was born of the primal forces. He is not touched by original Sin because he was not born of woman."

"But he's unnatural," the priest began.

"No more so than your church which tries to control everything. Including the uncontrollable. Your thing is the unnatural, boy," Angel hissed. Giles could see it. He was about to be Angelus. Not good. Definitely not good.

"Philip," Derek said. "You are my Godson. But you do not know everything. Hello, Lissa. Please, come meet your uncle Ethan and your Cousin Innocent."

"I can't wait to see Sir Edmund's Face when he meets Innocent," the young lady said. "His name is Innocent and Christina just said he's the one in the book."

"What book?" Giles asked. Ethan sighed.

"Father thought it would be Derek's child. There is a prophecy about a member of our line producing a child that can destroy all the evil in this place. Innocent is the one who can wipe the sepulchers off the face of the planet. I did not realize all five were here."

"Innocent will also seal the hell portal under the house," Wes said speaking of himself in the third person. "Once I study everything here I will know what I have to do and how to do it."

"And how will you do that?" Philip asked thinking Wes would say with faith in God.

"With my own purity," Wes said. "With belief in myself. To rely on an outside force in this is to invite failure. I have Faith in the love I was raised with and I have Faith in my family and my Slayer and my friends. I have no need to rely on any being outside my family. Family is all that is important to me. I don't care what religion you are. I will protect my family and stop what I am intended to stop. And I will not give thanks to any deity for what I do on my own."

Innocent then turned and walked away leaving Kat with Giles. Innocent called over his shoulder then.

"Someone go pick Tara up from the one shop in an hour. She said she was staying till they closed and then she would be along."

He walked off then, going to the library as he was not ready to sleep and he would not eat in a place with hostility aimed at him. He had much work to do and had no time for fools while he did it.
