Sera walked through the darkened streets with half-lidded eyes. Her hair hung around her face as she shambled forwards, not quite looking where she was going but knowing exactly how far away her destination was all the same. Fiddling with a coin in her hands, she flipped it up high into the air. "Heads," she mumbled to herself before even catching the spinning metal. She snatched it out of the air and slapped it to her wrist. Looking was redundant as she already knew she was right. Still, she…-

For as much as she enjoyed coming to the city, Victoria couldn't say that she wanted to live in it. The tall buildings were impressive and the paved roads had her cart moving nice and smooth. The markets were both amazing and convenient with their fresh goods available every morning. A shoe shop on one corner hustled customers in and out while advertising the finest leather. More to her interests, a watchmaker's workshop sat along the street. All sorts of mechanical wonders hung in its windows. Most,…

Time passed by Victoria without her really noticing. She fell into a daze as people whirled about around her at an accelerated rate. Mama had come into the room shortly after. Questions flew around, none that Victoria really had answers to. She had been ushered off to a side room where Mama came in and out to offer comfort and the occasional glass of water. Had she fallen asleep? Probably. She couldn't remember any dreams, but she felt refreshed upon waking. Perhaps a lack of dreams was for the best.…

"This is it men! Keep him down. You only need to hold out a little longer! For humanity. For the future!" Xerthus gripped the reins of his wyvern as the enchantment on his voice fell away, angling it to the side to avoid a pike of lightning that flew through the air. Clenching his fist, Xerthus formed a lightning pike of his own. As tall as a grown man and as wide as a warrior's arm, he threw it down at the god below. Ddraicoatl caught it with his bare chest. He could do nothing else. The…

Searching for humans that might or might not be out there had to be put on hold. Nothing had happened to the camp so far, so their priority wasn’t that high. In contrast, Alyssa felt an urgent need to figure out what was going on with the sky. Were the Astral Authority still on Tenebrael’s world? What about the demons? Had something happened to Tenebrael? The stupid angel wasn’t answering the phone still, but that could be for any number of reasons. “Five hours ago?” “I was up on the wall,…-

Alyssa stared down at the yellowing, leathery paper with a slight frown on her face. The map was… not as useful as she had been hoping. It gave her a vague idea of where some things were. But it lacked so much detail that she felt was necessary to a proper map. She would never be able to actually navigate with it beyond heading in a vague direction. Not that she would be able to navigate with a proper map. Internet based maps and GPS had clearly spoiled her. “Here is where we are,” Aziz said,…

Alyssa stopped and gaped. She couldn’t help it. Two weeks of trudging through open plains and a forest, tripping over branches and brushes, being eaten alive by insects, and carrying several pounds of supplies on her back had all taken its toll. Frankly, she would be perfectly happy if she never had to camp again in her life. At least she hadn’t run into anything truly dangerous. No monsters since the harpy. Not even a regular bear. The main roads were kept generally safe thanks to the efforts of some…

Svotty tipped backward in his chair. Having already been leaning backward on two legs with his feet up on the desk, the shotgun blast hitting his face and chest sent his body to the floor. Alyssa took two steps forward, rounding her shotgun on Cid as she moved. “You were going to sell me to a brothel!” she snarled over the ringing in her ears. A pump of her shotgun sent an empty shell flying to the side of the room. He had a knife out. Having been standing just behind her up until now, it was…

Alyssa sprinted back to the city, not even caring if it had been long enough to avoid plausible deniability about meeting with a slave buyer. There might be systems in place to defend against a horde of monsters. Her efforts might not be needed in the slightest. But she couldn’t take the chance that she wasn’t the only one who knew about the approaching army. This city was the only thing she knew about that might help her get home, kill angels, and otherwise accomplish her goals. If it were ransacked,…

“Look out!” Alyssa fired her shotgun, flaying another goblin before it could jump on Oz’s back. He barely paid any attention to the body as it fell from the roof. Another of the diminutive creatures was trying to slash his kneecaps out. As with most of the things, her shotgun was loud enough to shock them, creating an opening for Oz to take its head off. Which he promptly did. “Not taking their ears?” Alyssa said with only a mildly snide tone in her voice. “Keep moving unless you want…
