Tenebrae nodded. "Which is why we need to start now, and move quickly. If you summon the doctors right away, it'll be at least an hour before we can start. Who knows what might happen in that time?"

Solomon likely wouldn't wake up. But he'd be healing the entire time. Not to mention every moment wasted here was a moment Skulduggery had to figure out what must have happened, and there was no telling what he would do. A week ago, probably nothing. Now? After Solomon had so clearly renounced Necromancy? Tenebrae shuddered to think.

And that, he knew, was another reason for never letting Solomon leave the Temple again. The instant Skulduggery knew what they'd done, he wouldn't rest until the Temple was destroyed - and revealing the truth of the Passage was the perfect opportunity to do so legally. Every sorcerer in the country, in the world, would try to wipe out Necromancy for good. And Tenebrae had no plans of being murdered just yet. Not now that they had a potential Death Bringer once again.

This was their only option, then. Tenebrae nodded to Quiver. "Do it. Make the preparations. Let me know when you're ready."

And he swept out of the room.
