Chapter
Bullet-to-Heart
“Oh come now Alyssa, be reasonable. We don’t have time to sit around and argue.” Alyssa crossed her arms, shaking her head. “No.” “Alyssa—” The angel’s voice turned to a far less reasonable tone. Before she could get too angry, Alyssa interrupted her. “But! I have to ask: Does he actually need to die?” Tenebrael pulled the small pistol back, frowning as she stared. “I’ve already explained quite clearly and in simple terms that yes, he does.” All hints of a good mood…-

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…-

Broken
“It doesn’t appear to be fading.” “Damn. I don’t need glowing eyes. I can’t walk around Lyria looking like this.” Alyssa would either find herself prosecuted for blasphemy, persecuted for monstrous eyes, or maybe revered by the Tenebrael-worshiping masses. And she honestly didn’t know which of the three disturbed her the most. Just thinking about going back to Teneville and talking to Lazhar with Tenebrael’s eyes sent chills down her spine. Irulon cocked her head to the side before…-

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…-

Bright Eyes
“Your eyes are glowing.” “I know, mom.” “It’s been three days and they haven’t stopped glowing.” Alyssa sighed, pulling off her sunglasses. Apparently, people found glowing eyes to be somewhat off-putting. Even though sunglasses were essentially unheard of around Lyria, especially fancy modern ones, they were far less strange than bright white eyes. A quick search on her phone revealed that sunglasses, eyewear designed to block ultraviolet light from the sun, had really only been…-

Brechen Overlook
The city of Lyria was roughly triangular in shape, though the walls followed the terrain more than they bridged straight lines between the towers. Buildings had been built outside the city as well, rounding out the angled borders. Those exterior dwellings were considered entirely separate villages by the city, apparently populated with farmers that tended the exterior fields for the most part, but they intermingled enough with the main city for that distinction to only matter to tax collectors. To the…-

Breaking and Entering
“I’m not crazy right? There should be guards out here?” “We’ve already seen one shadow assassin. They rarely operate alone. I would guess that there are three to five of them somewhere in the city. Possibly more if they are being controlled by fairies again.” Alyssa shuddered. She did not like the sound of that. One had been bad enough, thank you very much. If there were two of them in any given area, she might just die of despair. And that wasn’t even including the fact that they were…-

Breakdown
“You kill them! All the pilgrims who come here, you kill them!” Yzhemal turned to look at Lazhar. Lazhar turned to look at Yzhemal. Alyssa ground her teeth together, staring at the two brothers as they turned back to face her. She had been in a stupor after the ceremony. Finding her unmoving as the bodies were being carted off somewhere, Lazhar had walked her back to the inn. Only when he had sat her down at the counter and Yzhemal poured her a drink did she finally snap out of it. “You…-

Brakkt II
Brakkt strode forward, undaunted by the group of infected before him. The group was relatively small. Twelve. No. Thirteen. One was occluded by a larger body in front of it. None looked particularly dangerous. Surely none were as aware as the infected Taker had been… or even his infected younger sister. They were the same low-level infected that he had been killing for the last week. So far, they didn’t know where the infected were coming from. One or two might have been missed by the Astral…-

Chapter
Brakkt
“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…-
