Serenity watched the entire ritual, all at once. He shouldn’t have been able to; each of his four pieces was able to watch something slightly less than a quarter of the ritual, so he should have had to move hi...

There was far too much mana in the ritual for Serenity to hold it all, even though his mana pool was far larger than normal for his Tier. Lykandeon was a much higher Tier than Serenity; even so, Serenity suspecte...

Serenity was still pouring Death-attuned mana and potential into the ritual when Death Himself appeared and watched. Serenity couldn’t exactly tell when He appeared; in fact, Serenity wasn’t even certain which of ...

When Serenity returned to Aeon, there were six days left until the eclipse. Six days left to prepare or do anything he’d left undone.
There was not really much left to do; they’d been preparing for months ...

While he was looking for Earthlings, he hadn’t expected to find them in charge. They ought to be lower Tier than whoever was in charge of the church, and with as much destruction as he’d seen, Serenity had exp...

“Who dares to-” The first words spoken by the priest were angry, clearly spoken before he got a good look at Ekari, because his next words were surprised. “Priest-Inspector? The last inspection wasn’t very lon...

The church in Steadfast Seventy-three was unlike any Serenity had seen before, but not because it was its own large compound. Instead, it was simply plainer than the others. It was clearly a similar design, but there ...

Blaze’s first priority was Evan.
Serenity left him to his task of healing the former priest. He could answer Evan’s questions just as well as Serenity could, maybe better. Blaze knew the plan, or at least...

Serenity felt a smile rising, despite his irritation at Rourke. Perhaps coming as an investigation team was worth more than they’d expected, and they’d expected a lot. “Why can’t you leave Lyka?”
