Great writing! The story is really developing well, although I wish there were more touching Maloth and Shenla
There's a whole lot to keep track of, and I've forgotten who some of the minor characters are. It seems like the odds are so heavily against the Arohim and their friends, like only Aros himself showing up could save them, but I'm sure you've got a plan to handle that. Like if the Titans could be turned (forgot your name for them) away from Maharad, Maloth and Co. wouldn't stand a chance. Also, Shenla no longer being loyal to her brother and building up her own power base is a helpful development, and thoroughly in character, as how can demons actually know love even for each other?
You have great skill in writing. Smythe's situation went from hopeless to better than before in this chapter, so they might have a chance after all.
Interesting that the Herald knife (Maharagi) not only concealed the wielder from the Gift, but also Shatter did not hum like it normally would when Elaina was threatened. That will be useful to me in determining the exact powers of Herald knives and Paladin weapons.
