What a delicate and difficult work I had to do today! But I am hopeful that it will lead to new understanding between two women who are both deserving of my care and respect. Matters between Freya and Alysse have not improved. Over the past week there have been several instances of coolness between them, such that some of their coworkers have noticed.

When I arrived, I was astonished to find many Cherubs and Guardians there, all silent and cowed before Salathiel, whose aura shone with a mighty fury. I had never before been frightened…
