Summary
"Oh, you are the human Father told me about!” she said, finally noticing his ears. She flipped one of her long red braids over her shoulder and grinned carelessly. “You look lonely. And lost.”
“I am neither!”
“Well, what are you then?”
“Independent and omniscient!”
She cackled, a warbling piercing shriek that made him practically jump out of his new boots.
“Oh Titan, you’ve only said six words to me and I like you already.”
For one of the only times in his life, he didn’t have a quick retort.
“So, Father failed to tell me your name. Mind giving it to me yourself?” She asked, staring up at him through thick eyelashes.
His heart skipped a beat.
“Caleb,” he finally said, sticking out his hand awkwardly. “Caleb Wittebane.”

Summary
The first time the palisman souls speak to him, he genuinely thinks they’re God Himself, gifting Philip, his most devoted follower, a chance to convene with the Lord Almighty and rewarding his utmost belief. God, of course, cannot see him right now, not in Hell, but Philip doesn’t like to remember that, doesn’t like to think about how alone he is here.
It starts quiet (doesn’t everything?), just a whisper in the back of his head, going, "Phi—lip, Ph—ilip, Phil—ip. Philip, who are you?"
They claw their way into his memories and rip out his darkest moments, attacking him with them over and over again. They whisper blasphemies of the mother he doesn’t remember, tell him she didn’t deserve the end she got and that perhaps he’s the evil one. They tell him his old friends in the Human Realm will have forgotten him by now. They taunt him with images of his brother, of the red cardinal, and they promise to haunt him forever.
Then they dig into his memories of the Word of God, and a particular story he’d been fascinated with as a child, and—
"CAIN," they begin to call him.

Summary
The first words Caleb Wittebane ever spoke to his brother were a promise: he would be as true a brother to Phillip as any born of the same mother might, and they would be The Brothers Wittebane, and there would be none who could cleave them in two.
The first thing that Phillip Wittebane ever believed was that this was true: that The Brothers Wittebane were one and inseparable - that they were brothers Truer than True.
This, then, is the story of The Brothers Wittebane - promises, and love, and the bright red stain of blood.
