Angelus Returns

A circle of hooded figures stood chanting in a room daubed with mystical looking sigils. The chanting reaches a crescendo and all the sigils glow with a bright white light which flows together in the center of the room before it suddenly shrinks to nothing and the room goes dark.

"It is done" one of the figures said, "We have stripped Angelus of his soul, but with the added instructions you asked for, he will be compelled to keep the Slayer and her friends out of your way but won't want to kill them and so no new slayer will be called. Now you and your firm owe us a debt Miss Morgan, you had best remember your promises as we will not"

Lilah Morgan stood up from leaning against the wall and said "Wolfram and Hart will not forget but the payment is not due yet, now go" The hooded figures wavered from vision, then vanished.

Angel was sitting in his office in the Hyperion hotel, when suddenly his eyes glowed and Angelus smiled as he realized he was once more free from the constraints of his soul, the first thought he had was, "Time for ****" as he stood up from his desk.
