   “What? Who is Baal?” Gabe pleaded.
   “Baal is the most powerful prince in Hell.” Michael explained. “He has sixty-six legions of demons under him.”
   “What does he want with me?” Gabe asked.
   “The Oracle has said Baal is the one who will destroy the protector.”
   “What?” Gabe gasped. “He is supposed to kill me?”
   “Gabe, we know he is tracking you now, we can combat this.” Sophie explained.
   “Tracking me? What?” Gabe raised his voice.
   “He uses dreams to track people, Gabe.” Michael explained. “We need to prepare you. Teach you how to guard yourself against his methods. It will be OK; you can cloak yourself even while you’re dreaming.”
   “There is nothing OK about this, Michael.” Gabe replied panicked.
   Michael reached out and grabbed Gabe’s free hand. “Son, I won’t let anything happen to you.” Gabe felt those chest pangs again when Michael called him son. For a moment his fears melted away and he had faith in Michael. He believed without a doubt Michael would protect him with his own life.
   “You’ll be ready for him, Gabe, I promise.” Michael added. “We will all teach you everything we know. When Baal finds you, we will be ready.” Gabe looked at Michael and Sophie’s faces. Their concern was evident which unnerved Gabe a bit. He wasn’t sure about this situation he found himself in. He hoped this home and his new family would be worth the dangers he faced.
