Chapter
Bugle Call
It took less than eight hours before Izsha was up on its feet. Two hours after that, the other draken took Izsha out hunting. Alyssa’s favorite draken was a bit slower than she remembered, but she supposed that was to be expected after effectively being comatose for a few weeks. They would watch out for Izsha. It was just a bit of a shame that Alyssa couldn’t go with them. Although she wanted to, she had promised to look into the missing monster children issue. Brakkt, surprisingly enough, was with…-

Chapter
Eye of the Draken
“Count. Folly. Lime. Dolly. Day. Sharp. Packed. Harp.” Even with portals opening all over the place, gunshots going off left and right, and the Astral Authority flying through the air, Irulon continued chanting random words. She hadn’t said that being interrupted would ruin anything, but the fact that she was still going instead of stopping to help defend against the Astral Authority said something about how easily she could stop. Alyssa definitely was not willing to take the chance that her…-

Chapter
Symphonic Ritual
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…-

Chapter
Bring in the Dead
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…-

Chapter
Irulon II
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…-

Staffing Problems
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,…-

Chapter
Bathhouse
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…-

Chapter
Snow Globe
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…-

Chapter
Of Thrones and Deities
“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…-

Chapter
The Endless Expanse
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…-
