“Shane! Chelsea! It’s so good to see you!” My mother stood and hurried over, tightly hugging both me and my sister before ushering us toward the table. “You made good time, I wasn’t expecting you for at least a few more days.”

I shrugged. “Killian was expecting to run into some trouble in the Aratra asteroid field. He said there’s usually a contingent of bandits there. Apparently they’re gone though.”

To my surprise, her smile died. “Var...

Stepping back onto a suppressed landmass after four months on the Necromedes was a bit jarring, but we adapted much faster than the last time. “This place is…big.” I said in awe. The continent was triangular, with each of the three main factions taking up a corner. The Church, The Empire, and the Fairyland. Each of them had their own section of town, and we were headed for the first.

“I can’t wait to see mom!” Gushed Chelsea, pulling me along. “She’s going to ...

Ingrid checking in. This whole chapter I was humming "I sent my therapist to therapy" by Alec Benjamin lol.

Wish upon the Stars chapter 603

Four months went by faster than I’d expected. Our last journey had been almost eternal in comparison, probably because aside from wishes I hadn’t really done much training at all. I’d just…lived. Spent time with Callie, gotten to know my sister. The small bit of actual training I’d done had mostly been fun stuff like the occasional spar with Abel or Gabe or Bethy.

Benny had spent most of his time with Celine, not that I blamed him, though he did join us for some of ...

A month flew by. I was pretty shocked at exactly how quickly it had gone. Spending time with Chelsea and Nat, as well as wedding planning and helping with the construction. It occurred to me the next day that I really could use the money from working on the village, so I’d ended up pitching in to prepare for the Conclave.


It was being held on a big floating continent in neutral territory between three factions, which was pretty cool, and the place hosted a pretty big cross sectio...

Home at last.

Wish upon the Stars chapter 601

We met up with the others back at the valley (I still refused to use the term Bennington, because it was stupid and definitely not because I was jealous I didn’t have a town named after me) and I just felt…exhausted. It was strange, really, I’d been fine for the whole month, time with Callie and training and building had distracted me from the enormity of the situation.

Now that it was over though, I felt drained. It was like holding your breath for a long time. At firs...

“What have you done?” Snapped the Duke, eyes frantic. “You’ve doomed yourself! To enter an event into your Chronicle before it has come to pass. You know what will happen if you fail!” Despite his words, he sounded more like he was trying to convince himself.

Sure enough, Zeke, or rather, the version of the Duke that was Zeke, looked amused. “Oh I’m so happy to hear you’re worried about me. Most people would be more concerned about the identical copy of them t...

“This is bad.” I said bluntly to Callie and the others. “Like, worse than most things. On a scale of one to ten this is like a fifteen.” I knew that because I could see Zeke standing up there. I could hear him talk. And he didn't sound confident or laid back. He sounded ANGRY.

That wasn't good. If Zeke was angry he was affected, which meant he was worried, and if Zeke was worried, it was because he might lose.

Which didn't seem…possible. Zeke was Ze...

To clarify, the atavism thing IS canon, as per the wiki, though I know lots of people don't love it. And the room expansion is a reference to one of my favorite HP stories.

Finally heading home! This has been a fun arc, but I'm ready to get back to Brightedge.

“Alright.” I said after a minute or two letting everyone recover. “I think we should get moving. Things should be over, but that doesn’t mean we won’t run into looters or something, I bet people will start picking this place clean soon.”

Callie nodded. “Good point. So what’s our next move?”

“Looting.” I responded bluntly. “We’re going to pick this place clean.” Despite being mildly traumatized, Bethy let out a wet giggle, wiping he...

It's here! This year will be a bigger departure from the canon story, but also try to include a lot of the underlying details. As you can see things have changed but not completely. It'll be fun to see where this goes off the rails.

We waited for a second after he hit the ground, hoping to see him just spontaneously die, but when that failed I cursed under my breath and shifted gears. “That's plan B then” I sent to Callie mentally.

I'd really hoped we wouldn't have to use plan B. This particular part of the plan was hands down the most uncontrollable. We'd machined things down to the smallest detail we could, but when we were doing the planning we ran into a snag.

We slipped out of the valley at two forty five the next morning. It was a simple thing to do, we had Anna, Callie, and Bethy with us, and the latter’s domain made what might have been a risky exfiltration easy as pie. We didn’t speak for about ten minutes as we walked the miles between the valley and Spencer’s estate, but when we finally got to the edge of the property, we stopped for a powwow. 

“What the fuck was that?” I hissed, spinning on Anna. “I thought...

The next three weeks were consumed by work. Wishes, both to myself and Nat, paid for with money that I was going to desperately need soon enough, finished up the construction of the new territory (which Celine named Bennington in what I was SURE was an obvious troll) and got all the information we needed for the attack. 

The last few weeks had been surprisingly good for my progress. Since we were coming up on the big fight I’d not only netted myself another twenty D-ra...

A week flew by, leaving me at twenty days remaining and up to ten D-ranked chits. We put every single wish into building, setting foundations and getting plans, with the occasional wish for a full building to be built when we were dealing with things like houses and markets. With all that out of the way though, the construction workers made great time, and by the time we hit one week the territory was starting to LOOK like a real town.

Walking through the darkened miniature city below our territory, I scanned the ground carefully with Eye of Revelation. “This is stupid.” I grumbled. “I’m not a metal detector. I get not wanting to waste wishes on this, and dedicating todays to getting the plans for the town was fine, I got paid either way, but why does that mean I have to walk around using Eye of Revelation on everything?” I was up to three D-ranked chits now, and was building a nice little fortune, I was planning ...

Getting everyone else down into the cavern was simple. After the dark thing had been destroyed, it was just a lazy swim down. Once everyone arrived, we sent out teams to explore the place. My century and Callie’s had been turned over to us for defense of the settlement, so we had two hundred F-rankers ready and able to explore, and we put them to work.

Luckily, we found out pretty quickly that the cavern had no other entrances. It made sense, this place was untouched by tim...
