A moth was a good form to take. Skulduggery was about to ask why Gabe, an angel, would need any sort of help navigating what he'd already seen in a human form, but Gabe transformed just as Skulduggery opened his mouth. He closed it again with a sigh that only vaguely bordered on exasperation, and watched the Gabe-moth travel in the exact opposite direction of the door.
Was Gabe still aware, when he was in his other forms? Normally, he would have to be. But if Landel was capable of capturing and holding an Archangel, he was probably capable of altering far more than just the body that Archangel was inhabiting. Skulduggery could be, for all intents and purposes, dealing with the tiny mindset of a small moth.
Moths were attracted to light.
Skulduggery held his hand down by the crack between floor and door, and snapped his fingers. A small flame flared up, the only bright light in the room, and it sent dancing shadows over the door and surrounding walls. Once the Gabe-moth was close enough, Skulduggery wouldn't need much air to coax it through the crack entirely.
The only problem, then, was if Gabe changed back on the other side and was faced with a monster. Skulduggery just had to hope Gabe could get the door open before anything like that had a chance to happen - or at least was able to get it open before the monster killed him.
