Alyssa skipped through the city toward the exit. Not quite literally, but she was in a pretty good mood. There, so far, had not been any major issues with the monsters. Whoever was pursuing them had not taken any further actions against them. There were guards, both monster and human, set up around their camp to keep watch for any further assassins or general malcontents. From what Alyssa had gathered so far, there wasn’t much reason to be concerned. It was a fairly boring job for both parties. Just…-

Alyssa couldn’t believe that she had been kicked out of the planning process for Irulon and the solution to the soul problem. Sure, she might have been less helpful than she had thought she would be—which had already been low to start with—but kicked out? It had something to do with Irulon’s latest idea. The princess was excited. Beyond ecstatic. She had gotten some idea overnight that would apparently solve everything for everyone—referring to herself and the dragon, of course—but needed…

The world was a strange place. Or perhaps it was reality itself that was strange. The world seemed so much smaller than she had once thought. With Alyssa, she had empirical evidence of other worlds. Theoretically, she had even been to another world, though having been locked in stasis at the time, she hadn’t even breathed a single breath of another world’s air. A missed opportunity to be sure. There was something wrong with the world. Irulon didn’t know what, even now. But ever since she was a…

Every muscle in Alyssa’s body was tensed up as she stared down Adrael. It hadn’t been long since she had last seen the Archangel. Two hours. Maybe three. Back in the field of ash, Alyssa hadn’t been concerned about her. Spectral Chains worked on angels and Adrael clearly had not been gearing up for a fight. The same was no longer true. Adrael floated above the surface of the water, shield in hand. Her entire body looked almost as tense as Alyssa was. Although the ruby shield obscured her left arm,…

If there was a more blissful feeling than taking a long, hot bath after getting sweaty and dirty, Alyssa didn’t want to know what it was. Everyone who had gone to the Justice was sitting in a deep pool of water within the Illuna guest house, just relaxing. Not even the slightly murky water ruined the experience. Using the not-quite-power washer spell, Alyssa and Irulon had mostly cleaned out the ash in their hair and from the draken and Fela. It wasn’t perfect, which was why they had all decided to…

It was like a scene from a snow globe. A very hot snow globe with no water to cool everything down. Alyssa stood on the floating reality sliver that had once been directly beneath the Cardinal Virtue of Justice, which itself was above the deep crater where the Justice had pinned the demon down. There used to be a forest around the crater. A mostly destroyed forest thanks to the Justice’s sword, but a forest nonetheless. Now? There was nothing. Not even a stump was left behind. There wasn’t…

“It’s been twenty minutes,” Kasita said, staring at Alyssa’s phone. “We’re almost to the point where we can leave, according to Irulon.” “Let’s give it another ten, just to be safe.” As Alyssa spoke, she stared around their sphere, watching, trying to decipher exactly what the angels were doing off in that other world. The vast majority seemed to simply fly about, usually toward or away from the main tower. Every once in a while, two angels would stop and chat. Sometimes it looked…

Alyssa stayed for ten minutes, just sitting and waiting for something to go wrong. Accelero was still active—if something did go wrong, she wanted the extra speed. That meant that she would have to wait another thirty minutes before canceling the spell, but that might just be worth it. So many things came to mind. From the Justice having compromised the structural integrity of the sliver before it left reality proper to lesser members of the Astral Authority portaling their way in to try to kill…

“What are you doing?” Alyssa shouted as soon as she got over her shock of having the demon drop down right in front of her. It wasn’t much of a shock. As it turned out, having angels and mimics constantly pop up out of nothing had immunized her to most forms of suddenly appearing people. It helped that the demon wasn’t going to attack her. She could tell that much from how the demon hadn’t drop-kicked her on her way down from whatever panel of the broken glass dome she had launched herself…

The bubble fell. The little sliver of reality that had protected their troupe shimmered, broke into shards, and vanished. Brilliant golden light from the Justice forced Alyssa to squint as it chased away the moonlight. It felt all the brighter now that she had spent an hour in relative darkness. A small Light spell that they had sparked up couldn’t compare. At least the bubble had done its job. Alyssa, along with her companions, sat on a small patch of untouched land. All around them, trees, earth,…
