By the Light of the Moon

Summary:

In many stories, the moon is either worshipped or feared. It may grant power, or it may cast curses. Despite being rooted in myths, there is some truth to such ideas.

Somewhere in a place outside of the universes exists an entity of great proportions: the Lunar Mother, a great moon that is larger than what should be possible. She is the physical embodiment of the Will of the Multiverse, an entity existing to keep all of the universes and timelines in balance. The Lunar Mother is connected to all of the moons in every universe, allowing the Will's influence to take hold everywhere.

However, every coin has two sides. There exists beings and forces that threaten each planet, just as there exists ones that serve and protect. Only time will tell who fate favors most.

Here's a work that I began writing in 2023 and decided to port over here... lol

Chapter 1: Ranking Up

Chapter Text

A nightclub might seem like a fairly innocuous place to visit, but to 21-year-old Alice West and several others, it's a place to assert dominance and plan out operations. The Fallen Angels club is the home of the Fallen Angels gang, which Alice is part of.

Alice never got the luxury of being able to live in New York's Asgard complex. She was born in the state's Underworld, left to be forgotten by the social elites. And on top of that, she's a Gracefallen, a human-Guardian of the Will hybrid rejected by the Will of the Multiverse.

She still has people she can trust, though. Namely her fellow gang members and Laibrecorumiel, her boss and the first fallen Guardian of the Will who became one of her and the rest of her kind's ancestors.

Perched on a balcony of a high-rise, Alice gets a chance to survey the area down below. Her Graceful Cavalier transformation enables her to fly, and makes her more resilient. These are two natural advantages that prove useful for her. The overseeing doesn't last long, though, as she eventually decides to leave and go back to the club.

The place is packed with people, both ordinary regulars and fellow gang members. It's something Alice has grown accustomed to, and she makes sure to make herself indistinguishable from the ordinary person. Except, of course, she isn't ordinary.

"Hey Alice, the boss wants to see you," another gang member says after walking over. Alice acknowledges him, nodding in understanding, then walks off.

"You wanted to talk to me?" Alice asks after walking into the Fallen Guardian's office.

"Yes. Please, have a seat," Laibre responds, looking at her.

Alice sits down, her body language and expression showing no fear nor hesitance as she waits for him to continue.

"You've been doing well on your patrols over the last several months," Laibre begins. "As a result, I'm going to be moving you to a higher rank."

"I'm glad to have a chance to help more," Alice responds. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Now, feel free to do whatever you wish," Laibre says, "as long as it's within our bounds."

Alice nods, walking out of his office afterwards. She knows she's struck another milestone.

Of course, she isn't done yet, though. She knows she has more to do, and she'll gladly keep carrying out the responsibilities she has. She likes having purpose, after all.
