Tenebrael Appears
A queasy sensation welled up in the pit of Alyssa’s stomach as she stared down at the obviously broken neck. Alyssa turned away, fumbling around in her pocket for her cell phone. It wasn’t there. Right. Back on the couch. She stumbled, shaking knees failing to support her. Letting herself sit on the floor for only a moment in an attempt to quell her nerves, she couldn’t help but let out a slight laugh as adrenaline flooded out of her body. Using the abandoned bed as a handhold to get up, Alyssa…-

Tenebrael
“You can’t do this!” Tenebrael stared down at the angelic figure before her with a bright smile on her face. Poor Iosefael. Tiny crystalline teardrops formed at the corners of her eyes. It really detracted from her defiant stare. With how much her arms trembled, Tenebrael doubted anyone would take her seriously. If she would just be a little more selfish and a little more confident, she might actually make something of herself. For now, Tenebrael brushed her black fingernails over…-

Tenebrael
“Can you actually do this?” Tenebrael stared down at the angelic script covering every inch of every tome in her private quarters. Enochian was a dense language. Each individual character could hold a bounty of information. Hundreds of filled tomes were laid out, open with the efforts of countless hours of research and investigation. Of discovering exactly what the true nature of angels really was. She still wasn’t sure she understood everything perfectly. But she hoped that what she understood…-

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…-

Supplies
“She’s still breathing,” Lazhar said, standing up from the bed and turning to Alyssa and Yzhemal. He moved away from the sleeping girl, dusting his hands together. “Whether she wakes or not? I cannot say,” he said with a casual shrug. “I warned everyone of putting out fires before sleeping. Lass is lucky she didn’t burn down my inn.” “She would probably have died,” Alyssa mumbled. Looking up to the twin with the beer belly—she didn’t actually know if they were twins or not,…-

Stranger in a Strange Land
Alyssa woke with a jolt. As if someone had stuck her with sharp prongs attached to a car battery; her heart pounded in her chest as sweat trickled down her brow. Somewhere in the background, the harsh repetitive tones of an alarm clock buzzed without pause. She couldn’t see anything but a hazy white light. Worst of all, her breath felt too hot and too moist in front of her face, as if she were breathing the same air over and over again. Which she was. With a heavy groan, Alyssa moved a hand up to…-

Stop
“To restate, our goals are to find a way to the Throne, take control of the Throne, and use the Throne to shut down the Seraphim.” Alyssa found it a little odd that they were essentially planning a heist—or maybe a coup—right in front of the people they were about to steal from—or overthrow. The Seraphim were obviously the biggest threat, but they were just standing there. Alyssa really had no reason to believe that they would move at all until someone made to move toward the Throne. Even…-

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,…-

Spring Cleaning
“How you doing today, Izsha?” The old stables were quiet today. Brakkt had taken the other draken out for some exercise and a bit of hunting. Only the tiger-striped Musca and the still-comatose Izsha were around. The former had been… unexpectedly protective, not wanting to leave Izsha for much. Not even for a good hunt. It was sweet. At least, Alyssa thought so. Brakkt thought Musca was sick. “Irulon is up and at ‘em. She’s still trying to translate her vision to proper words, but assures…-

Sporting Goods
It was a good thing that Alyssa’s home was relatively large. Brakkt and Irulon each had their own rooms, with Brakkt staying in Clark’s old room and Irulon in the basement guest room. Tess had to sleep on the couch downstairs, but she seemed happy enough with the situation. Compared to using the tents during the trip down to Teneville, a couch in a climate controlled environment was enough to get her to stop making odd glares out of the corner of her eye whenever Alyssa was around. So that was…-
