Chapter
Asylum
The group of monsters continued on toward Illuna, this time with Alyssa at the head of the group, Brakkt at the rear, and Fela moving about and making herself seen. Brakkt in particular had his eyes everywhere, looking for any sign of the group that was chasing after the monsters. A quick Message to Volta had revealed that Martin, acting as the current regent of Illuna, was willing to meet with the monsters to discuss a possible peaceful resolution to their problems. Which meant that Brakkt actually had…-

Chapter
Assassin’s Greed
When she had been told that the assassin was nothing more than a kid, Alyssa had thought it was some kind of exaggeration. A euphemism for the assassin being inexperienced or something similar. But this… “How old is she? Twelve?” The assassin, tied and bound to a chair, refused another spoonful of stew. Her face was round, looking just like most children, but her height and build might as well have been stolen from a tantrum-throwing pre-teen. Her mannerisms as well. The way she turned her head…-

Chapter
Ascent
Ten minutes ticked by a lot slower when waiting for something to happen. Especially when Alyssa wasn’t sure at all that said something would even occur. When she had left Irulon’s laboratory, involuntarily though it had been, there had been a Fractal magic barrier over the only door out. She had Messaged Kasita essentially asking her to come down in the guise of Irulon to order around the palace guard. But that plan all failed at the first step if Kasita couldn’t even leave the laboratory. The…-

Chapter
Approaching Trouble
Alyssa felt like something was missing. She had never lost an arm or even a finger before, but what she was feeling at the moment had to be something akin to phantom limb syndrome. Every so often, she would find herself trying to close her eyes and check the souls around her only to be met with nothing but darkness. She had bought a rather large wool coat from one of the local shops, but it really wasn’t doing much to keep that unearthly chill away. She figured she would get used to it. The first…-

Chapter
Apotheosis
Alyssa… was not quite sure what was going on. She was adrift again. Or that was what it felt like. No sights or sounds anywhere. No real sensations at all. Yet it was different this time. Every other time, there had been something of an apathetic warmth surrounding everything, which she had decided was either angels or the Throne. Possibly both. Whatever divine magic filled them radiated out through the otherwise void to create a sea of comforting magic. That was all gone. The first thing Alyssa did…-

Apologies
“I’m sorry,” Alyssa said, hammering a nail into the wall for a shelf. Doing so wasn’t the easiest while injured. She used her shoulder to prop up the actual shelf while she used her burned hand to hold the hammer, having taken off most of the bandages. Every strike sent minor jolts of pain through her hand, but she stuck to it anyway. She owed it to Tzheitza to help out and not just sit around moaning about how injured she was. Oddly enough, it didn’t hurt as much as she thought it would. Maybe…-

Chapter
Another Angel
“You’re Alyssa Meadows?” Alyssa stared at the angel, wondering how she should act. If she was anything like Tenebrael, a bat wasn’t going to do much good. Neither would a gun. However, Tenebrael was clearly the evil twin of the two, what with her dressing in all black and taking people’s souls. So, deciding to be mildly hospitable, she lowered the bat and nodded her head. Radiance beamed from the angel’s sudden smile as her wings carried her right in front of Alyssa, definitely breaking…-

Chapter
Annihilator
Alyssa crept through the town, moving slowly as she eyed her surroundings. No one should be able to see her. She had a shroud of glass shards surrounding her, making anyone who looked in her direction see nothing at all. Empty Mirror. Alyssa had snapped a picture of it the second Irulon had handed it over. It was one of the spells that Alyssa had been wanting a permanent copy of. With it being a lower rank relative to some of the other Fractal spells, it didn’t look overly complex to redraw either. As…-

Chapter
Annihilation
Time seemed to stop. People still moved about in Alyssa’s peripheral vision, shouting and panicking. For all she was paying attention to them, they might as well have been statues. She had eyes for no one but the red-eyed angel. The reverse wasn’t quite true. The angel, hovering above the gouge, broke eye contact to look around the land. Her face was impassive with no real expression, but just from the way she looked around, Alyssa got the feeling of bewilderment. It was a little strange just how…-

Chapter
Angels Deserve to Cry
Alyssa couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. Not at the prospect of talking with an angel. Definitely not. Not only had she spoken with angels in general before, but she had spoken to this one. There really wasn't anything special about angels. Aside from the deity-tier power that they wielded. But they weren't supposed to wield that at her, so everything should be just fine. No. It wasn’t Iosefael making her nervous. It was the other side of the portal. When Alyssa had prayed—asked for a…-
