Orders, Part VI and Conclusion
Back to Orders, Part V. Jiang Xuande didn’t have much time to prepare for the attack that Astaroth had in mind for him, but he did have fair warning that she was coming. She had made an unsuccessful attempt to recall Makeri to her service, and Makeri writhed from the excruciating efforts, issuing a profound…
Orders, Part V
Back to Orders, Part IV. The effort to summon Makeri almost bled Jiang Xuande to death. Makeri reported rather reluctantly to the magician and gave him an insouciant and bored greeting. Makeri hadn’t anticipated that Jiang Xuande had built a trap for him, and Jiang Xuande bound Makeri’s metaphysical essence to the peasant girl, making…

Contrary to what has been written about angels by most humans, there are more than nine Orders. Most things relating to angels come…

Valac the Demon, Part III
Back to Valac the Demon, Part II. 21 Raphael breaks, a day of Ariel. Remind me to tell you about time some day. Yes, yes…with Estelle’s permission…of course. When we left off last time, Valac had just entered the studio of Jacques-Louis David. David’s studio was particularly rich for the demon, as David seemed to…
