Anne-Marie and Lynessa have been excitedly looking forward to this, as they're expecting their new baby any day now. As they prepare for the long-awaited birth, however, an enemy of the past has returned: Kurt, Demetrios's former friend and secret soldier of Mephistopheles. He seeks to kill Lynessa and her unborn baby, claiming "this world has enough heroes." Anne-Marie valiantly steps in defeat him and protect her family.

6	!!Tropes:
7	* EleventhHourSuperpower: Similar to Anne-Marie's phoenix and Ashur's wolf, Anne-Marie gains a new spell. In her case, it's a WingedUnicorn made of arcane magic.
8	%%* BackFromTheDead: Kurt.
9	* DiabolusExNihilo: Partially subverted, since Kurt does have a backstory, but he still comes out of nowhere.
10	* EarnYourHappyEnding: After Kurt is finally defeated, Lynessa gives birth to her and Anne-Marie's new son, Julian.
11	* EvilMakesYouUgly: Gaining demonic powers has made Kurt more feral in appearance, complete with a SlasherSmile. And that's even before he assumes his OneWingedAngel form.
12	* LightIsGood: As Lynessa explains when her friends are helping her prepare for the birth, she wants her and Anne-Marie's baby to be born in the light of the Sun of the planet the Stone Cutters have come to call their home.
13	* MamaBear: Anne-Marie in this story, protecting both her lover Lynessa and their children. Lynessa herself does as well; despite being laid down for her inevitable delivery, she still casts [[LightEmUp the Exorcism spell]] that destroys Kurt's {{hellfire}} ball that would have destroyed Anne-Marie's mask.
14	* OneWingedAngel: Kurt turns into [[FeatheredFiend a giant demonic owl/vulture-like creature]] to accomplish his insidious mission.
15	* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Played with. Demetrios warns Kurt "Your fight is with me," but Anne-Marie steps in to fight him. Demetrios congratulates her on her amazing victory, saying she even did better than he did the first time around.
16	* WouldHitAGirl: At one point, Kurt strongly elbows Anne-Marie in the stomach ''Anime/DragonBallZ''-style. Her onlooking friends hold their midsections in pain and sympathy.
17	%%* WouldHurtAChild: Kurt seeks to do this, until Anne-Marie stops him.
