Alyssa… wasn’t quite certain what was going on. She could remember her last thoughts well enough. She had just walked into her room. It had been torn up and looked nothing like she remembered. What was it Tenebrael had said? In some alternate timeline, Alyssa wound up stabbed forty-odd times and bled out in her own room? That might explain the room’s state. Blood had to have gotten absolutely everywhere. The shock of it had sent her reeling. How must her parents have felt? Walking in with all…-

“I bring you here out of the goodness of my heart. I saved your life. I even saved the lives of those other humans at your request. And how do you repay me? You go blow a hole in my beautiful moon!” Alyssa rolled her eyes. She had been wondering when Tenebrael would show up. Frankly, she was a little surprised that it had taken so long. The meeting with seemingly the entire royal population of the palace was still ongoing. She sat at a large, round table. Polished stone. Maybe marble? Her spot was…

Tzheitza did not look happy. She didn’t look happy that Alyssa had returned wounded. She didn’t look happy that Fela had returned at all. And she didn’t look happy that Fela had been wounded either. Or rather, she didn’t look happy that she was being asked to treat Fela. The actual wound probably didn’t matter to her all that much. “How did you miss it? I bet the entire city saw it!” Alyssa winced as Tzheitza dripped some liquid into the hole in her hand. It wasn’t the rejuvenation…

“Oh please. There is nothing to worry about. You should have seen Octavia try to fight that Knight. Even with medusa venom extract, she failed miserably. And I didn’t even see him as being that skilled. Compared to you? Night and day, brother. Night and day. This will be pathetically easy.” Brakkt wasn’t so sure. No matter the situation, blades flying through the air always presented a danger. All it took was one lucky, or unlucky in this case, hit. The slats on his helmet were thin, but a blade…

Not wanting to spook Octavia, Alyssa, Brakkt, Irulon, Fela, and the Pharaoh—whose real name Alyssa still didn’t know—were all under an invisibility spell. Irulon had handed over a larger version of Empty Mirror that encompassed them all for Alyssa to cast. The reason why Alyssa had to cast it instead of Irulon was because of the staff. When Irulon tried it, it had failed. Just like everything else that failed when directed at the staff. Alyssa could have stayed alone and cast her own Empty Mirror…

Octavia didn’t know that Alyssa knew where she lived. How could she? Alyssa hadn’t figured it out through any conventional means. She had cheated. An angel had provided the information. Even if Octavia did move on from her hovel, Tenebrael could presumably point her out a second time. And a third. Tenebrael might not be able to act because of rules and regulations that Alyssa didn’t fully comprehend, but she could provide more information than anyone. If only Alyssa felt like she could rely on the…

Alyssa woke, feeling slightly nauseous. She kept her eyes closed because of the sensation. It was that unpleasant lead arms and swimming headache that came with a severe lack of sleep. Which was entirely her fault. She had returned late, first of all. Then there was the debacle with Kenziel—who had returned with two crystals in hand; Tenebrael hadn’t eaten them in front of her, but Alyssa didn’t doubt that she would later on. She had gone on and told Tzheitza about the angel’s recommendation for…

“I have gone on a brief walkabout of your world. It is quite the mess. But, I am pleased to inform you that it is not unsalvageable. How would you like to be brought up to a fully compliant status? It won’t be easy, but I think we can get you back to schedule in as little as one thousand three hundred years. Working with a competent Archangel, you’ll hardly have to lift a finger.” Kenziel’s tone had shifted to that of a used car salesman. Except, instead of slapping the roof of a car, she was…

There was a flaw in Alyssa’s plan. No one was following her. In fact, nobody could follow her. She spent all that time looking over her shoulder. Obviously nobody was going to follow her when she was invisible. If they were even going to follow her in the first place. Nobody had known that she was going to be at the Gobbtop tavern tonight. Tenebrael had dropped her and Jason off only a short distance away. The only people who might have tried to follow her would have been people already in the tavern…

Chris Altrac was a surprisingly diligent man considering his former homeless status. He had jumped into the world feet first and, after getting a few pointers from Alyssa, wound up doing well for himself. As well as someone could do in less than a week, that was. He had moved into the inn Alyssa had invited him to during their little discussion. It was one of the places Alyssa had sought out for herself in case she ever had to leave Tzheitza’s potion shop. Not the nicest place around, but he had a…
