“The Emperor Protects,” Isarae whispered softly, “and He sent me to protect you.”
“And you have,” I replied, returning her hug albeit weakly. “Will you keep reading to me?”

“As the veil of Old Night lifted, by the grace of his Divine Majesty was Holy Terra united, and freed from the yoke of Chaos…”
“Alessa, stay in bed!” Isarae scowled from the bedroom door, and I wilted back against the headboard.
I learned quickly that I could tell her moods by the waxing and waning of her luminous aura. It shifted whenever she was feeling a particularly intense emotion, and there was an edge of color to her aura beyond just the gold if I looked closely.
