What a time of terror and grief. When I think of how close it waw, I feel as cold as if a Fallen were breathing down my neck. We were very blessed tonight to avoid disaster. In the past week, I have discovered and stopped three potential attackers of Freya, two Violences and a Nightmare. I was not pleased with these victories, however, as all three seemed too pleased to have been captured. It was my opinion, and Anathalie agreed…
Freya’s meditation routine is bearing fruit. She is now able to sense the other angels that take shifts when I am not there, though she cannot yet tell them apart. When it comes to me, though, her senses are greatly sharpened, to the point that she can tell what I am feeling even if I do not broadcast my emotions.

I found those more interesting than Freya did. What really has helped her was the app that Jim recommended, which gives her deep-breathing exercises, nature sounds to help her sleep, and guided her…
