“You stupid angel. I just want a stupid portal from here to Owlcroft. Ugh. Work damn you!” Alyssa let her arm drop with a groan. Her fingernails hadn’t even turned black. Five minutes of trying to make a portal and she had nothing to show for it. She didn’t understand the rules. Was it because time was stopped outside their little bubble? Was Tenebrael just screwing with her? Ugh. She needed Iosefael to come and explain again, or explain properly. She had thought that she was getting the hang of…-

Alyssa charged through fields of wheat on Izsha’s back, fleeing from Illuna as fast as she could. The golden light of a single Kindness was still visible over her shoulder. It didn’t look like it was following her, but Alyssa wasn’t taking any chances. If it spotted her, she had a feeling that hundreds of the Astral Authority wouldn’t be far behind. The others were still in the city. Partially to warn off people from attacking the Kindness. Partially because Brakkt hadn’t quite finished…

The city of Illuna was, indeed, a city. It wasn’t as large as Lyria, but Lyria was known as the Grand City for a reason. It was still the largest man-made settlement Alyssa had seen since coming to this world that wasn’t Lyria. It seemed to have taken a lot of cues from Lyria’s layout as well. A wall surrounded the majority of the city, though it did have a significant number of buildings outside, sprawling the city beyond its borders. A few towers were stationed around the wall as well, though…

“Fela? Think you can convince them to calm down?” The monsters in the pit were clearly panicking. A few, like the two with animal ears, ran to take cover inside some of the carved out houses. A whole lot more had emerged, looking more than ready to fight. Some of them looked fairly scary too, like the ones with scythes attached to their arms. Between Brakkt’s skill and sword and her overpowered Spectral Chains, the scythe that would likely remove their souls as easily as a knife through butter,…

A week and a half on the road had Alyssa wondering just how upset the Astral Authority would get if she tried to portal directly to Owlcroft. Or at least Illuna. The terrain varied quite a bit over the journey. From the green plains and forested hilltops to a fairly winding path through some canyons. For the past three days, they had been in a fairly arid and incredibly flat area. There weren’t any tall trees, mountains, hills, or anything to break up the scenery. The only things living around the…

“I can’t believe this is happening again.” “Well,” Oz said with a bright smile. “think of it this way. At least you aren’t rushing off into the desert with little preparation to rescue someone you got mind controlled before they could be eaten only to discover an enemy encampment protected by monsters that only you can see.” “That seems like an oddly specific occurrence,” Raugis, the first daughter of House Illuna, said. A hand covered her gentle smile. “The lives of mercenaries…

The world was ending. Figuratively, but very possibly literally as well. For months now, things had been strange. Off. Once familiar aspects of the world, constants as unchanging as granite, were now twisted. Decorous clasped his hands together, staring. He didn’t stare at anything in particular. The room was the Lords’ Dining Hall of the palace. An exclusive area reserved for only those of the highest standing in society. And an intensely familiar place for Decorous. He had spent many evenings…

Chasing a suspect through a city should have been easy. Should being the key word. Alyssa had magic. She had a way to find people through walls with her ability to see souls. Draken and Fela were unbelievably fast and could smell anything from miles away. The Pharaoh and Irulon were Rank Six arcanists who, despite Alyssa’s best efforts, had an even wider range of available spells than she did. The Pharaoh in particular. He had tried using time magic, both to speed himself up to the point where he blurred…

Retrograde Cognition was an interesting spell. It forced the caster into a coma-like state. But only from the outside perspective. Inside Retrograde Cognition, Alyssa felt like she hadn’t even moved. She stood right where she had cast the spell. Though standing was a relative term. She didn’t really have a body. Or her body was there, but she was no longer directly connected to it. Irulon was still next to her, as was the Pharaoh. Izsha and Fela too. The cart as well. And the bodies. The cart…

Alyssa and Tenebrael walked along the road away from the city. It was a casual walk with no rush and no panic. Fela and Izsha both accompanied them, though their position must have been a little strange with their inability to perceive the angel. They heard one half of a conversation. Alyssa gesticulated to nothing at all. It was a good thing that they knew invisible creatures existed or Alyssa would probably have looked like she was losing her mind. It might have looked like that anyway. “Just…
