The record had one more piece of information that mattered—the piece that told him the archive here was incomplete by design. A reference, brief and precise, to a secondary location. Another fragment of the full record. Stored elsewhere.
The specific location wasn't named—that would have been too simple, and whoever had divided this information had not been simple. But there was enough directional context embedded in the record's references that Damien could extrapolate. A general region. A type of settlement. A demonic presence that would, if he looked for it the right way, point him toward where the second fragment was kept.
He would find it.
That was not a question.
