As Cassandra sat quietly on the small couch within Iris' apartment in Excelsis, she noticed her hands were shaking slightly."Hmm...that's odd. Why am I so nervous right now?" She mumbled to herself.Currently, Johann was out getting food for the two of them.Cassandra told him to grab extra for Mizik when they went back to the Abyss.After all, Cassandra couldn't be happy if her beloved Mizik was forced to eat the strange substances they had for nourishment in the Abyss.She knew he would be overjoyed to have real food again... And the thought of making Mizik smile caused Cassandra to shiver in excitement.Although for the past several days, she had noticed strange things.Cassandra was having trouble focusing on the mission because she could only think of Mizik most of the time. This was bad because she knew he was counting on her...At the same time, she began to feel increasingly nervous and her hands wouldn't stop shaking.Johann had also noticed, but Cassandra told him she was f

When she approached the facility, Cassandra could already see the guards cowering I fear as Johann began his brutal rampage.They decided to move into the building for safety and Cassandra took the chance to sneak in alongside them.Since she had no idea how she would go about actually finding the generator itself, Cassandra would need to be creative. After all, this was a mission she absolutely could not fail.Minutes passed as she silently followed several guards around. She began to wonder about how she would go about her plan."Hmm...what do you think, Intelligence?"[I believe you have the necessary tools, Lady Cassandra. Your illusion magic seems to deeply affect the minds of others. But stealth, as you know, is key. Above all else, they must not have any reason to check the target for irregularities.]"But of course! My darling Mizik would be so upset if he learned of such a thing! Now then...mind eater should work..."Cassandra waited until a guard was alone and raised her han

After coming back from Kranox, Vakra went to his lab to begin working on his new project.I simply went to my room and enjoyed some of the extra food I purposely made while hunting there.The food in the Abyss, while edible and not bad tasting, looked disgusting.The texture was terrible, too.I hated eating it, in all honesty, but I had little choice.Once I had finished eating, I took a bath and went to bed.The bath was pleasant, but I missed having Cassandra wash me. Regardless, I fell asleep immediately after laying down.Some time later...I felt a weight on me.When I opened my eyes, I saw Cassandra laying on top of me and...smelling my chest...In other words, her usual bizarre and stalker-like behavior."Uhh...Cassandra...? What are you doing?" I asked."I'm...haaah...taking in your scent! I've been deprived of my darling Mizik for so long!" She said as she continued squeezing me and inhaling the smell of my chest.Isn't it a bit early for you to be acting like an obsessive st

Once we left the castle, I saw the city of Kazekiir.It was amazing...The buildings weren't shaped the same as as traditional ones, but all seemed to be partially connected with interlocking walkways in the sky. Or at least what was considered a sky below the Void.As we walked the streets, people would occasionally react to us.And by us, I mean..."Eh...EHHHHHH!? L-LADY VALTHIEM!?!? RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!"Several people would react with pure terror upon seeing Valthiem walk around normally.It was kind of weird...She had the appearance of a beautiful young woman with dark gray hair.She wasn't particularly imposing and only wore a somewhat bulky armored robe.I mean, after all...she was probably only around 5'5. And yet...I couldn't actually think of a more terrifying entity in all of creation...Dying was surely a scary thing.And I would know...But to simply stop existing?To me, that was far more terrifying.Valthiem was more than capable of doing that to someone. "Hey, Val

There are things no mortal should ever see.Technically, my lifespan was now indefinite as a result of my special abilities.But I still had the mind of a mortal.The tunnel leading into the Deep Abyss took over a weekto pass. We ended up sleeping inside of it.When we exited, the power of the abyssal flames allowed us to see everything...I saw a horrid, warped landscape full of strange plants and monsters that looked like they would all kill me in some terrifying way.The monsters varied in size...Some were small, others were larger.Some reached into the sky with their massive heights.They were titans among titans...It was hard to describe what I saw...They had tentacles, eyes, mouths...some of them were like giant worms.Others were twisted beings with multiple arms and eyes all over their bodies.Cassandra clung to me as I once again felt my head hurting.Something about these monsters was...wrong on so many levels...The ones that had mouths seemed to continuously smile.
