"Where's Congdon?" Bones asked as they set the ship up ready to leave, "Sulu scan the hill over there for her DNA pattern?" "There appears to be two matches one very much alive the other deceased," "Give her some space this is harder than people think." Gwen was sat leaning against Cayla's grave talking to her as if she was still there. Looking at the time she called the ship telling them to just beam her up, they heard the choke in her voice and saw the tears still in her red eyes as she took her station on the bridge. "You okay there Williams?" "Yeah as good as I can be given the circumstances can we please just get out of here?" "If you don't mind me asking who is the deceased that has the same DNA patterns as you?" "Spock no," Kirk said giving him a death glare, "My twin she died in a boating accident almost two years ago now. And it was all my fault," she walked out of the bridge trying to choke back the tears, "Why Spock we'd just managed to get her to stop blaming herself yet you and your big mouth had other ideas," "What did happen to her sister?" "Long story short she slipped in the rapids broke her neck instantly and Gwen wrestled the water to save her. There boat capsized and she ended up climbing with a literal dead body up a 20ft rock to get away from the waves. She'd just stopped blaming herself, she'll calm down but lets get this ship underway."
Almost instantly after reaching the edge of the sector they received a distress call from USS Discovery less than 10 minutes away at full warp. "Alright set a course for there location. Williams prep the torpedoes and phasers so as soon as we get there we can start firing," "Aye aye sir loading torpedoes now. Phasers are at 75% and ready to activate. We are within firing range," "Shields up all fire on the war bird." With all attention on the Discovery Enterprise fired all weapons as a distraction for Discovery to repair there shields. They got a freight when the weapons were more than they expected.

In a single shot the ships cruise control was knocked offline and everyone onboard was thrown from there positions. "Captain it's Exeter and Halloaway sir they've come to help," "Good tell them that the war birds shields are failing fire all weapons at the following locations," "Aye aye sir." Gweynneth saw the torpedo coming in there direction and took the steering from Sulu to dodge it, good call on her part. "Alright sound off who's okay!" She shouted, "McCoy," "Sulu," "Uhura," "Spock," "Cassidy," "Williams, Kirk what about you?" "I'm down here but my head is killing me." Gwen pulled him out from under a ceiling panel, he nose was bloody and his head was bleeding, "Captain you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine lets get Enterprise to the space port, I'll get checked out later."
Gweynneth was repairing a blown fuse when she felt an arm around her waist, "James I know it's you," "Why do you think I did it?" "Come on," she turned to face him holding up a cloth, "No I'm fine," "If your not going to let Bones check you out at least let me wipe the blood away so it doesn't end up in your eyes," "Fine." He reluctantly agreed better her than the 'I told you so' from Bones. "I've told you enough about Cornwall where are you from?" "I'm from Riverside, Iowa nothing exciting happens there unlike Port Issac. It's just an ordinary suburb it's nothing compared to Cornwall let alone the UK. Anyway I don't know how to ask this so I'm just going to say it, at the space port I have been invited to an official dinner between the federation and the Vulcans. I was wondering if you would like to join me after all I've gained the reputation of being a playboy there." Uhura came bursting in waving her communications tablet, "Guess what guys we've all been invited to the state ball! You know the one between the federation and the Vulcans," "Oh I know alright. I don't think I have ever done anything do fancy heck I missed my own prom. Fingers crossed." She called standing up. She was definitely not a 'fancy girl' that was for sure.

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.
