《Ceon World Wanders》O Starry Sky
Advertisement
The song O Starry Sky is one of the oldest known traditional Virenyan rhymes. It remains popular among Rashari sailors to this day, where it serves a mnemonic device to recall the constellations and their attributes, which the seafarers make extensive use of during their voyages. No previous records are known, for lullabies, rhymes and songs were primarily transmitted orally. Thus, the lyrics to O Starry Sky come in many variations, the best known of which I transcribed below.
By Aviana Starscry, bard and adventurer
O Starry Sky
O light of night, help us tonight
As we set sail for Port Home
Guide us now the Shadow is out
to show us which way is the right.
O starry sky, so far so nigh, please guide us home tonight!
O let us fight, and when we die
A heroes’ death at the helm
The Blade shall shine, justice divine
Peace shall we find so don’t you cry.
O starry sky, so high and bright, please guide us home tonight!
O let us drink, a mug or two
From the Shell that gives us life
Without judgement, without favour
It heals all our ails, fair and true.
O starry sky, so far yet nigh, please guide us home tonight!
O tall and proud, and capped in white
The Mountain**s rise from the shore
And in the sky, it stands us by
A beacon, stead-fast, there to guide.
O starry sky, your light so bright, please guide us home tonight!
O sands of time, tell us your tales
Of days past and future’s course
When the time comes, the Hourglass
Will tell us when to hoist the sails.
O starry sky, a brilliant sight, please guide us home tonight!
O let us wear, the Ring with pride
Embrace what destiny holds
Trust in her will, the band of fate

Fits all, never errs, ever right.
O starry sky, o cloudless night, please guide us home tonight!
O wind and gale, spare us we plea
To the Staff**, and God of Storms
As clouds run in, the vast blue sky
We skim the white caps of the sea.
O starry sky, where comets fly, please guide us home tonight!
O hold it high, the Axe of war
Grip tight the heft overhead
It guides us all, to victory
Roars of triumph sound wide and far.
O starry sky, where birds fly high, please guide us home tonight!
O twist and turns, of fickle fate
We sway along, back and from
While the Sigil**, keeps the balance
Feed us hope from your endless cate.
O starry sky, lights we live by, please guide us home tonight!
O within us all, roars a fire
Passion so strong, it burns hot
Learns us to not ever give up
The Serpent burns fear on a pyre.
O starry sky, grow wings and fly, please guide us home tonight!
O Tree and Roots**, let me climb high
To see further, what’s beyond
Show me what is hidden beneath
The mind’s soil: wisdoms, truth and lie.
O starry sky, so vast and wide, please guide us home tonight!
O hear my words, I beg for aid
For protection, for your care
Mighty Pillars**, bearing the sky
Covering, guiding all who’ve strayed.
O starry sky, light of my life, please guide us home tonight!
O fight the urge, to wave the flag
To give quarter, to give up
Keep the Spirit**, courage and pride
The power of will to fight back.
O starry sky, o twinkling lights, please guide us home tonight!
O when we sigh, and sob and cry
A loss, a gain or a cost
The Belt sure has your poison fresh
A gamble worth taking, just try.
O starry sky, don’t tell us why, just guide us home tonight!
O here we go, trip’s end is nigh
There gazing up to the Torch
That lights the ways that fate may take
Decide! Fate’s but a blank, clear sky.
O starry sky, we wave good bye, you got us home tonight!

Deviation
There is a place in the far off reaches of space. It is a lonely place in the barest portion at the edge of the universe. There are no stars or other planets for light-years. A region few have ever wanted to visit and fewer still actually have. If you were to visit you'd find and small rip in space-time leading to the most bizarre and out of place thing you have ever seen. A solar system consisting of five planets, all with life, all stuck in conflict, and all absolutely bursting with energy. For some it seems like a paradise. A land of sword and sorcery? Why would anyone pass that up? That was the thought process of the freshly dead boy. This boy, like many before him and many after him, was trying to find the bright side. Things had finally been going right for him, good grades, new friends, and best of all a girlfriend when the entire world ended. No huff, no puff, just poof the end. At least being reborn into this world would be fun. That definitely sounded like a bright side to most. Fracture, one of the five worlds in question, was massive and full of magic. It looked sounded and felt like it would be just another game, it even had prompts and levels. Piece of cake. Well that might be the case if Fracture was meant to be a paradise. The hottest fires forge the strongest swords. This fire has the habit of melting away oneself. A pixie clan searching for a new home, a boy who just lost his, a reality bending forest, and a bug that doesn't belong. All with an intense desire for power. Who will make it through the fire intact, and will they choose to be a hero, or will they join the long history of villains and monsters?

The Dragon & The Demon
Orenda Nochdifache-Firefist has sucessfully overthrown the Empress Xandra and broken the empire to allow the individual colonies to return to self-rule, as well as abolished the chattle slavery that had plagued the land- earning her the title of "Orenda the Reign Ender". The Knights of Order have officially won the war in a bloody revolution, putting an end to the three centuries of warfare under Xandra's leadership. No longer must people live in fear of Xandra's puppet, The Emerald Knight. But now Orenda must face the realities of her dream- the imaginary princess has become queen. And, she has a deadly secret she must keep in the form of a teenage Urillian boy who is not what he seems. Anilla is still on a never ending quest to find her dragon; her people beleive that every memeber of their tribe is born with a soul bonded dragon that exists somewhere in the world- and Orenda's little secret claims to have seen Anilla's soul before. Could he be the key to ending her quest? This work is a direct sequel to The Crimson Mage, and will obviously contain major spoilers for that work, so it might be a better place to start (though I will warn you that the first chapter of that story may be the worst thing I've ever written. Just power through it or encorage me to put up a second draft). It can be found here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21654/the-crimson-mage/chapter/307763/chapter-1
