Now she stood at the pinnacle of the outer district of the Light Kingdom.
She was at full strength while the Lords were clearly exhausted.

"Stay behind me, Master." Angel declared, standing before Michael, fully intent on protecting him.
However, the fox did not strike.
Her back arched, raising her head high in superiority. She snorted and bolted toward the locked gates.
Letting out a fearsome howl, her will imposed itself on the structure, and a second later, the entrance opened wide for anyone to pass.
