Chapter 130: Demonicon

So weird to stand there in Fate's grotto with Zoe, even more so to realize this was probably the last time I'd visit. For some reason, I doubted she'd want to live here. Not with Piers waiting for her back on my home plane.

"Let me guess," I said, offering my hand which she accepted. "Things are going to be a little different around here from now on?"

Zoe laughed, squeezed my fingers. "That's why She loves you, you know," she said, the capitalization of the pronoun sounding exactly right all of a sudden. I'd never think of Creator in small letters again. "You make Her laugh."

Awesome. I made Creator laugh. Excellent detail to add to my resume.

Fire engulfed me, pulling me toward Zoe. The black ribbon on my wrist twitched and went still in response to her power.

"Where are we going?" I usually felt weird allowing others to take the reins and do the traveling. But, for some reason, Zoe's control felt natural, even more so than Max's.
