Wish upon the Stars chapter 550
Waking up in the morning was surprisingly relaxing because I realized up doing so that Callie had been wrong. We didn't have training, we'd both gotten so wrapped up in working with our centuries we'd forgotten weekends were free time, even for commanders. Callie had to force me to promi...

The link posts will be the norm now. I think they're actually way better now that I know how to use them.

The next day was pretty standard. Tactics practice, training, some formation drills. We had a mock battle against the fifty third on friday to test our formation drilling, and I wasn't entirely worried we'd lose. Granted, the fifty third were a total joke, but we had been too until recently....

I have literally no idea why copy paste isn't working for links. I've never tried a link post before but here goes. If it doesn't work I'll try something else.

The next few days flew by. Demia was a patient and understanding teacher, shockingly so given the environment. The carrot and stick combination worked well with my unit, and they continued to improve over time. That comfort and relaxation obviously couldn't last. I was sitting with Camden for my...

"Alright." I said as everyone got back in line. There was a palpable air of fear overlaying the camp as they all stared at Gabe and I. Alanna was in the back, glaring at me, and everyone else seemed to afraid to even speak. "Now that we have that out of the way, we can move onto our real...

Part of the aim for making Ryan a devil from the start was to have him come to terms with what he is and work to overcome the limitations. He's made a lot of suboptimal choices informed by his drives as a devil, and this is the first steps toward working on that.https://docs.google.com/document/...

Demia and Niles split us up, Demia coming with me and Niles escorting Callie. When I arrived at my section of the camp, I found Gabe standing at attention in full armor, waiting for us to arrive. "Commander." He said with a serious salute, thought I noticed a slight twitch of his lips that m...

With the preamble out of the way, Camden had us all take a seat around a truly gargantuan wooden table packed with chairs. Callie and I sat close to the head where Camden was, just so we could be involved, but we didn't plan on talking too much. Listening was the best way to learn, and these mee...

This is going to be pretty much the end of book one. We'll see a timeskip after maybe one more chapter and then we're going to start the summer. I have some fun and interesting arcs planned for the upcoming chapters, summer and year two both.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jmdkvhiKioy3WO...
Wish upon the Stars chapter 544
Callie and I woke up refreshed and energized. We'd been sleeping under the equivalent of a lead blanket for the last week, and just the sheer bliss of being able to breathe freely and easily was almost intoxicating as we greeted the day. We had to be back to the camp for the command tent meeting...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 543
One of the first things I'd learned about combat under Abel was the somewhat paradoxical fact that, barring specialized training, having more people with you in a fight was a hindrance more than a help. That had seemed a bit ass backwards to me at the time, numbers are a good thing, but after I&...

I had a blast with this fight, and I think it hits all the right notes. Let me know what you think.https://docs.google.com/document/d/19Dz4raQ0jW2HqVDYd1dB3NPs9i6w_vKZ3dl4MBN2OdU/edit?usp=sharing

I'd like to claim that I immediately went through my DS Mastery to see what I got. This rank wouldn't have been a death blow since I'd gotten Marked for Death last time, but I still had to check what new subskills popped up, not to mention see if the ones I had upgraded. My Path wasn'...

"So." I said, holding the pair of pills. "This is going to fucking suck, isn't it?" We were back at the inn, Callie and I sitting across from each other. Chelsea was sitting in too, having volunteered to be the one wishing for the eight points I'd need to rank up after I took...

This one is meant to act as sort of a transition between the hurried journey they were on and the concept that they might need to take some time on the island, plus introducing the fables and their meta, something the Might Behind the Mirror is known for, and how playing along will get them through ...

I'd expected the thieves quarter to be underground. I know, I'm biased because of the WCP, but still, I'd figured it would be somewhere hidden and secure, where no one would be able to find it. Understanding or not, the guards had to guard stuff, so keeping a bunch of stolen shit out in ...

The next morning I gathered everyone coming along for our alchemy shopping trip. Jessie, Bethy, Benny, Callie, Celine, and Gabe all filed out into the inn to have breakfast before leaving. The others decided to sleep in, so it was just us. "Anna." I said as we approached the bar. She was beh...

After eating, I went to see Zeke. After telling him what had happened, I then spent about fifteen minutes waiting for him to stop laughing at me. "Are you done?" I finally snapped. "I know that fate sense steers us to the interesting, but what are the chances of this happening? Should I ...

So this was a big chapter, but also not. I felt like Daphne needed to take a breath. A ton has happened that she hasn't had time to process or even wanted to let herself think about too hard, and being the one who accidentally saved the day was enough to bring a lot of that out. I'm pretty p...

I was mentally exhausted by the time the banquet ended. Political maneuvering wasn't just complicated, it was tedious. How many times could you say the same ridiculous bullshit before someone actually commented on how inane it was. Telling people their clothes were nice, talking about bullshit t...
