Hello, thanks for reading. Book seven will continue as scheduled. No intermissions or interludes. Tune in next time for 007.001. Before anything else, I’d just like to say thanks. Thanks to all my supporters on Patreon and PayPal. Phew, that was a long one. Book six was the longest book yet in terms of chapter count. Word count was actually about on par with…

Book Six Epilogue
Eva smiled as she leaned back, enjoying the warm rays of the sun. It was a nice day out. A nice blue sky with a few clouds, just enough to provide the occasional spot of shade. There wasn't much wind, not even a light breeze. Eva wasn't complaining. It wasn't hot enough in early April to need a breeze and the lack of wind kept her long hair from flailing about. The only things truly off about the day were the violet streaks that hung overhead. They were almost invisible against the blue hues of the…-

Split
Shalise jumped to her feet, ready for another attack. Lynn was at her side in an instant. It was somewhat off-putting. Lynn's lightning and fire was far more effective at dealing with the enigmas than anything Shalise could put out. Sure, her muscles were strong and afforded her a certain level of toughness that she would otherwise lack, but not a single one of the creatures had actually made it within grappling range since Eva had brought along Lynn. She shouldn't be complaining, but Lynn just…-

Cool Down
The tension in Irene's muscles had to be reaching their peak. She felt like she had been exercising nonstop for the past two hours. Her body couldn't possibly tense up any further. Every impact against the shackles she had set up only caused her grip on her wand to tighten, proving that notion wrong. Every high-pitched whine had her arms shaking just a tiny bit more than they were before. Every cannon blast that followed the whine had her ears ringing and her vision blurring for a second or two…-

Cathedral Exit
Zoe dove to the side, ducking into the white room while narrowly avoiding the returned lightning from the stairwell. While her own lightning might not have been the most powerful thing she could have thrown, she had serious misgivings about killing people who were just doing their jobs. Especially when she was the one breaking and entering with the intent to steal priceless artifacts. The Elysium Order was under no such hesitations. White lightning that only narrowly missed colliding with Zoe hit the…-

To the Obelisk
Sister Abbey had turned out useful after all. The door to the next staircase had been not only locked, but warded as well. Said wards went far over Eva's head. She knew her blood wards and some runic equivalents to certain wards, and that was about it. She was fairly certain that the wards were beyond Zoe's expertise as well. At least the ones specific to the Elysium Order. Regular thaumaturgical wards, Zoe could probably have taken down herself. With study, Eva had no doubt that Zoe would have been…-

Into the Cathedral
Three things made getting into the Elysium Cathedral much easier than it had any right to be. The first was the map. Drawn by Nel both from memory and from scrying, it had possible routes to the relic chamber along with some annotations about which directions would have them encounter how much resistance. Most of it was guesswork and estimations. Nel had to remain behind to prepare the salt, so she couldn't give real-time updates. The nuns could and would move around and invalidate most of her…-

Ready for Theft
"Wayne isn't coming with us?" Eva asked as she shook off the icy cold of Zoe's method of teleportation. Digging her claws into the brick wall of the building they had appeared next to, she pulled herself into a proper standing position. "I thought you said he would be here." "He will be. He just had to make a brief stop somewhere else first." Rubbing her claws up and down her arms, Eva watched an equally shaky Arachne as she unfolded herself from her smaller spider form. Without a gate nearby,…-

Supply Run
Zoe stopped before a well-worn wooden door with a familiar brass handle. She pushed the door open, fully expecting to be welcomed into the bar and parlor by Tom's smiling face. A bright light had her wincing away the second she stepped inside. It took her mind a moment to catch on to the fact that something was wrong. The bar was never brightly lit. Lights were kept perpetually dim. Tom was not a mage, but she had often wondered if he didn't have some sixth sense for incoming customers. The lights…-

Course of Action
Eva tore open the doors to Ylva's domain and sprinted inside. Ylva was on her throne, her skeletal form looking impassive as always under the light shining from the storm clouds overhead. Her pose was as relaxed as it always was. With her fist curled beneath her chin, she slouched back in her throne. Four others sat around a small table set down at the base of her throne. Alicia and Nel sat at opposite ends of the table from one another with Wayne Lurcher in between the two. Wayne had a scowl on his…-
