“Ok.” Bethy admitted as we strolled out of the bar and grill. “That was a decent fight. No crazy Path powers, but they both made good use of what they had. That blade summoner guy was pretty cool, he was like ‘whoosh’ and those giant wrappy chain things were all over the place, and the tiger guy was like ‘not today chain guy!’ and then turned into that giant magma kitty.”

I laughed. “It’s not that weird. It makes sense people stuck at E-rank with no chance...

The next four days were both surprisingly busy and shockingly uneventful. Flowers, decorations, catering, clothes, all the things we’d already done needed to be followed up on, and all the things we hadn’t still needed doing. I’d barely had time to get the two hundred eighty points of Fantasy from the four days of wishes. Finally though, we got everything finished two nights before the wedding. Just in time for Benny’s big night out.

“But I want to go catch light sp...

Once we made it back to the lodge, I caught up to my mom and asked her a favor. “Hey, with all these weird coincidences, I’d feel a bit better if we had some security. Do you think you could have some of your E-rankers patrol Wintervale for us?”

“Of course, honey!” She said with a beaming smile. “We can’t interfere in the internal politics of the region, but that’s mainly a restriction on rank. Having my E-rankers keep an eye out is still fine.” She frowned....

“So, this is a fun wedding.” Said my cousin glibly as we trudged through the snow. “It’s just not an Ascendant party if someone isn’t trying to murder us all.” She shot me an appraising glance. “You sure we’re good out here just you and me? We’re not exactly the muscle of the group. Maybe we should have brought Gabe or Bethy.”

I scoffed. “Please, you haven’t been around lately. I’m a certified badass now. I won these huge games at the conclave for th...

“Wendigos?” Asked Chelsea in confusion after we got back to the lodge. “I don’t know if I I’ve heard of those.” she paused. “It sounds familiar though. Maybe I’ve read about them? I feel like I’d remember if I’d seen one in person.

Jessie snorted. “You would have.” She said bluntly. “I know I sure do. Randall handled the last one we ran into. Back when Serenity was trying to take over the circus. I never did ask where the Peace Lord got the one he le...

The cake tasting was…interesting. There was the usual stuff, strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, even a few out there choices like lemon. But Bakery had apparently taken the stylishness challenge to heart, because there were more than a few unique options too. Fish, beef, spicy pickled cabbage.

I had a bite of a lobster pate cake that was surprisingly good with scallion cream cheese, though the raspberry pistachio goulash cheesecake was a close second. “None of this should be...

This one is doing pretty well on other sites lol. Glad people are liking it.

Not forgetting to get my wishes in, I dropped seventy more points into Fantasy with the help of one of the wedding guests and then Callie and I went to sleep. I didn’t mention my worries to her about Cicero right away. Something about that whole encounter bothered me, so I decided to check in with my uncle.

Given his Path, hiding a disguise from someone like him would be near impossible. So when I woke up the next morning I went to his room and pounded on the door. No one a...

The inside of the lodge was surprisingly homey. I’d been expecting it to be some big towering hall, but the first room wasn’t a colossal chamber. It was just a lobby. The wooden ceiling was only about a hundred feet up, and the walls were decorated with pictures and memorabilia. There was a marble fireplace set near two of the walls, with a little nook area surrounded by couches.

At the front desk, a clean cut, lanky man with grey hair and a red bellhop jacket greeted us ...

We ended up heading for the resort just a few hours later. Amelia wanted a room to stay in, and unpacking in the house just to move immediately didn't make sense. We left Cark, Cass, and a few others behind since the wedding wasn't for a week. Cark wanted to check in on some friends in Rajak and Cass wanted to spend some time at the house.

Since Stella, Maria, Amelia, Alex, and all our friends from Valen were already with us, we just decided to skip a step and head right over...

It didn’t take long for everyone to arrive. When they did, it quickly became apparent exactly what the ‘surprise’ that Amelia had for Callie actually was. My girlfriend gaped at her mother in absolute shock as the older woman placed a stabilizing hand on her very pregnant stomach. “You…you’re-”

“Pregnant.” Said her mother cheerily. “Yes, that usually comes before children. I’m not sure you should be getting married if you don’t know where babies come f...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 665

It was hard to really encapsulate the feeling of standing in space, looking down at your home planet. There was nostalgia, joy, triumph, and a little bit of disappointment. Everything seemed so much…smaller. Even from up here, I could focus enough to get a decent glimpse of most of the major cities I remembered. Valen, Rajak, I could see home.

But everyone looked so small and insignificant from up here. I knew they weren’t obviously. I had friends and loved ones on Callus...

Four months flew by in the blink of an eye. I spent most of my time enjoying the relaxing trip with my friends, doing only the bare minimum for wish granting per day. I got another ten thousand points total. Eighty four hundred for my wishes and another sixteen hundred from pure renown.

Which was, admittedly, less than expected. Bu...

The next morning we met up with the others for a team meeting. “So, everyone get settled in ok?” I asked Jessie as we let them into our place. We weren’t staying in the same building this time. The Necromedes was huge, and we’d been moved up to a nicer part of the ship. This particular abode was more in the style of some of the Church architecture we’d seen.

“All good.” She said with a grin and a thumbs up. “Serah and Bethy are becoming fast friends.” She pa...

Arriving back on the Necromedes was…blissful. Aside from the lack of pressure from the Tricorn’s Impact (I’d gotten so used to it I kept having to watch my step to keep from catapulting into the air), I also got to see a bunch of old friends. When Callie and mom mentioned bringing people along, I’d underestimated exactly how many people they meant.

Serah and Holly were coming, as were Yvette, Annalise, Markoth, Nasha, and all my other friends were coming. We’d sent ...

Before leaving the Tricorn, we still needed to check in with my grandfather. Aside from not seeing him for quite a while (mom coming to the wedding was one thing, but a Pope showing up on Callus was bound to draw some negative attention) we also needed to make sure the S-rankers didn’t need us for anything.

Chelsea and I went alone, though she was unusually quiet as we entered the chamber where we were meeting my grandfather. Mom assured me it was shielded for dignitaries a...
