[By all rights, Skulduggery should be taking Kratos to the Sanctuary, and warning the Elders of his existence. But there are no Elders -- just one very reluctant Grand Mage, whose hands are very full recreating the Sanctuary almost from scratch. The last thing Corrival's going to want to hear about is that an asteroid full of psychopathic angels is hovering just on the other side of the moon.

Haggard. It's where my student, Valkyrie, lives. [Skulduggery leads the way back out to the Bentley, with a mobile that's only marginally charged and one last glance back at the angels.] After that, Ghastly's shop. I know I've made you think I have nothing but free time, but the truth is you've come down in the middle of quite a bit of chaos. If my luck holds out, that chaos won't turn into apocalyptic destruction.
[But he's not keeping his fingers crossed, given the world's been in danger of ending three separate times in the last four years.]
