My patrol, who rises or falls with me. They don’t expect me to make it to graduation in four years. But I know I will. Who’ll be standing with me at the end?

This wraith has been picking off veterans of the recently won war against the archangel Michael, and the bodies are piling up. My unwanted connection to it, along with the team’s skills, could be the key to trapping it in magical stasis.
