Chapter 26

The Ceaseless Storm pounds down upon us. Our nullspaces are inactive, their power burnt out from the raw force of the attack Marie brought to bear on us. My body, soul, and spirit aches. My authority aches.

I have never been so sure of our victory.

Sierra and I have come this far. We are not going to let Marie stop us.

To only temporarily disable our greatest weapon, she has given hers up.

And unlike us, she has not entirely eschewed the system. Though her weapons may carry the systemless authority that enables Sierra and I to devastate everything we lay our sight on, she does not.

Her skills are not stronger than mine.

Locate: Marie Jade.

You cannot hide, I declare. Even with my nullspace down, I am still a Titan. Marie’s efforts will not keep me down.

Her universe-shearing attack has split this hell in two, I note. The void encroaches upon the two halves of the Hell of the Ceaseless Storm, and Marie is on the other side of the chasm, nearly a thousand miles away.

For most, that’s an impassable gap. Marie has long-distance weapons capable of killing a Category 5 a dozen times over before we even make the first hundred miles of that trip.

For us, it’s less than nothing.

“Would you like to take us?” I ask Sierra. “I haven’t gotten to experience your form of travel, yet.”

“Gladly,” she says, offering me her hand. “I’ve been working on creating a skill. It will need some time to align, but once it does, we should be there near instantly. Are you ready to fight?”

“Is water wet?”

She laughs, soft and sweet. “Then hold on.”

I pass her the knowledge of Marie’s location through our soul bond, and I sense her manipulating the magic and authority around is in a way I have never seen before. It’s reminiscent of her Balance domain, but it’s far more complex than that.

To oversimplify it, I think I can boil it down to shrinking and expanding, which doesn’t make much sense to me.

“What are you doing?” I ask her. “What type of magic is this?”

“Vector, space, and reality manipulation,” she says. “I’m still a Titan, even without the nullspace, and I kept all of the powers. I can do anything, so long as it is balanced.”

“This is balanced?” I ask. “I’m sure it is, but I’m not sure I understand.”

“I’m aligning with the target,” Sierra replies. “Once I do, I shrink the space in front of us and expand it behind. With a dab of reality manipulation, it should enable us to…”

Something clicks into place, and I feel Sierra’s magic snap into the pattern she’s designed.

A blink of an eye passes, too fast for even me to process. For the merest of instants, I sense movement, and the area around us shifts.

The void wall is six hundred miles behind us now. I can feel it.

Locate: Marie Jade.

We are less than five miles from our target.

“You are something else,” I tell Sierra. “Well done.”

She smiles. “Tell me that when we kill my aunt.
