Paperwork was annoying, but Michael did take some satisfaction in placing their mark on the documents that would ensure a number of criminals would be brought to justice. Really, if one looked past the inherent monotony, it was almost enjoyable. The air of the dungeon was pleasant enough, it was brightly lit, and the quietContinue reading “Chapter 12 – A Paladin of Judgement”

Chapter 11 – Things Go Wrong
Gabriel “How did any of this happen!?” Pontiff Popola demanded as he slammed his hands down on the round table of the grand meeting room. He glared at the deacons of the faith, who either studiously refused to meet his eyes or were relaxing in apparent amusement at their colleagues’ ill-fortune. “Well!? How is itContinue reading “Chapter 11 – Things Go Wrong”
Chapter 10 – Meeting a Queen
Sona Komottos was a massive city. From the sky, it was shaped like a distorted oval, stretched on the sides and bending at points where large buildings stood and hills raised parts of the city above the lower plains. If Michael had anything to compare it to, it was an egg yolk; the majority wasContinue reading “Chapter 10 – Meeting a Queen”
Chapter 9 – Ruined Relaxation
Michael didn’t quite go unconscious. That would presume there was a cease in their awareness and the agony pulsing through their body. They were panting in pain, prone on the ground while their back leaked with golden blood. Their second pair of wings finally dispersed, slightly numbing the burning heat, but still leaving a discomfortingContinue reading “Chapter 9 – Ruined Relaxation”
Chapter 8 – The Morningstar Salamandar
Michael learned two things upon stepping inside the massive building known to them as “The Salamander”. First, the full name was–according to the large sign over the front desk in the lobby–“The Morningstar Salamander Hotel & Casino”. Second was that the establishment was apparently a hotel. “…what’s a hotel?” Michael asked, speaking quietly to AnayaContinue reading “Chapter 8 – The Morningstar Salamandar”
Chapter 7 – The Lakeside City
The story Ausilio told, upon being set on the ground and having a good ten minutes to kiss at the dirt as though it would somehow vanish out from under him, was a simple one. An annoyingly simple one, in that it lacked a significant amount of detail. Ausilio was not the mastermind to anyContinue reading “Chapter 7 – The Lakeside City”
Chapter 6 – The Road Ahead
It had been a very long time since Michael traveled the lands of Zemava. The lands specifically; the skies were very well known to them, but the lands were less so, and the seas were honestly a complete enigma but they weren’t traveling that way at the moment so that really didn’t matter. Even so,Continue reading “Chapter 6 – The Road Ahead”
Chapter 4 – The Tour Begins
Apollyon and Jophiel didn’t wait for us… Michael felt their eye twitch as they returned to the foyer and found both their inconsiderate, irritating cousin and their–uncle? Also cousin?–elder family member gone, along with their intended escorts. Or escortees. One or the other. “Oh, I guess we’re late.” Their eye twitched again at Anaya’s voice,Continue reading “Chapter 4 – The Tour Begins”
Chapter 3 – Light Shines Eternal
Michael was uncomfortable. Not in the Elder’s presence, of course, there was never any point at which they could possibly be uncomfortable with the divine radiance of their creator’s holy mother. Their cousins were a very different story though. So Michael ignored the fact that one of them was indeed going on the same journeyContinue reading “Chapter 3 – Light Shines Eternal”
Chapter 2 – An Angel’s Virtues
All angels have seven virtues. While some are more apparent than others in certain angels, all have those virtues. That is natural. Angels are virtuous beings. The shop was quiet, thankfully. There was the rustle of clothes and the barest hint of movement, but it was quiet enough. The lack of noise gave Michael theContinue reading “Chapter 2 – An Angel’s Virtues”
