"I wonder how many people have had to face two saints and an infuriated celestial in half an hour? Especially in conditions like ours, where the elemental singularities were probably not even aware of the latter's presence," Alaria smiled inwardly as she stepped through the portal.

It was fortunate that the sword went wild far from common folk; otherwise, Margela could not have avoided another tragedy. Still, Alaria felt sorry for the mage. His death might not have been a result of overconfident stupidity, but simple ignorance. He failed to discern the evil lurking in the dark depths of his blade.
