[[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] gets distracted in the middle of an adventure and mentally [[shift]]s into the body of a [[Jenny Everywhere#Summoning Lord Grallyx|version of herself]] who is in the process of helping [[Universe | [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] gets distracted in the middle of an adventure and mentally [[shift]]s into the body of a [[Jenny Everywhere#Summoning Lord Grallyx|version of herself]] who is in the process of helping [[Universe B (Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell)|this universe]]'s [[Laura Drake#Summoning Lord Grallyx|version]] of [[Laura Drake]] to summon a demon. They succeed, but the demon in question, ‘[[Lord Grallyx]], Grand High Lord of the [[Ratreyfian Underworld]]’, is unwilling to make a demonic pact of any kind, instead being intent on wreaking havoc and taking over the world in the name of his Legion of [[Hell]]. | ||
To stop him, Jenny latches onto him and shifts him with her to a series of other universes; as her mind transports itself to the bodies and lives of her various incarnations, Grallyx is likewise transformed, being woven into the pattern of each story against his will and having to play by its rules. Every time, however, Grallyx proves as dangerous, or more, compared to his original self. Indeed, he ultimately reveals that he has managed to acquire [[shift]]ing abilities from the experience. However, Jenny manages to use a magic quill she grabbed in one universe to draw some [[shift-preventing chain]]s into existence, trapping Grallyx inside the demonology book Laura was using. | To stop him, Jenny latches onto him and shifts him with her to a series of other universes; as her mind transports itself to the bodies and lives of her various incarnations, Grallyx is likewise transformed, being woven into the pattern of each story against his will and having to play by its rules.
